Rhea Ripley is currently focused on a former friend of hers

Raquel Rodriguez and Ripley were the best of friends back in the day. A lot has changed over the years and the two female stars aren't fond of each other anymore. At WWE Bad Blood 2024, Raquel returned to WWE TV and attacked The Nightmare. This interference resulted in Ripley defeating Liv Morgan via DQ, thus failing to win the Women's World title.

Now, Ripley is fully focused on exacting revenge on her former friend. WWE is hyping up the feud as well, judging by their recent social media post. WWE shared a video highlighting Ripley and Raquel's history in the company.

Samantha Irvin is one of the most gifted announcers in WWE history. She is bound to do well wherever she goes, and her fans are beyond excited to see what's next for her.
