Rhea Ripley played a huge role in costing a former WWE champion a match on this week's Monday Night RAW. The star has now officially addressed the situation following SmackDown.

IYO SKY faced Liv Morgan in a Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match on the February 3, 2025, episode of the red brand. At one point during the bout, when Raquel Rodriguez attempted to assist her fellow Judgment Day member, Rhea Ripley intervened to even the odds. However, in doing so, The Nightmare inadvertently hit Liv Morgan. The match ended in DQ in favor of The Miracle Kid.

The Genius of the Sky shared a video on Instagram and opened up about her emotional loss on RAW. She believed that she was close to winning her match against Liv Morgan, but Mami's interference cost her that opportunity. Since her WrestleMania dream was crushed, IYO SKY was visibly upset and struggled to process the situation.

"What was that actually?! Damn! I wasn't defeated. Rather, I almost won the match. It was Rhea...Rhea Ripley did [it]. Rhea Ripley hit Liv [Morgan], and I lost the match! Thanks to the DQ, Liv Morgan advances to the Elimination Chamber. Not me! Damn! I understand, totally, yes. [sic] Rhea tried to help me, I know that. But, my chance to fight in WrestleMania is over? I guess it's gone? Unbelievable. I don't want to believe this. I can't think of anything else right now. Leave me alone," she said.
