Former WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley has called current WWE roster stars “real men.” This week on WWE RAW, she opened the show by addressing her mixed tag team match victory at Bash in Berlin.
At the WWE Bash in Berlin, Rhea Ripley teamed up with Damian Priest to face Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. As expected, The Judgment Day interfered, but despite the distraction, the duo managed to defeat Mysterio and Morgan. Ripley has since addressed her victory on the latest edition of WWE RAW.
She challenged Liv Morgan for a WWE Women’s World Heavyweight title match. However, she was interrupted by Dominik Mysterio, who accepted the match on Morgan’s behalf. This led to Liv Morgan blindsiding Rhea Ripley, causing the latter to suffer an injury when her leg got caught in the ropes.
Damian Priest eventually came out to assist his tag team partner, but the damage had been done by then. An angry Priest declared he would deal with The Judgment Day. WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce then delivered surprising news that Priest was scheduled for a tag team match, leaving him puzzled about his partner. However, Rhea Ripley had a plan and asked Jey Uso for help.
This set up a match featuring Priest and Uso against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh from The Judgment Day. Despite interference from Liv Morgan, who retreated after Ripley appeared, Priest and Uso won the match. After the show had gone off the air, Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and Jey Uso celebrated with the fans. Ripley, still seen on crutches, expressed her appreciation for Jey Uso’s and Damian Priest’s assistance.

Following the latest edition of WWE RAW, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were seen out of character. The two stars participated in Jey Uso’s “Yeet” celebration with the fans. Despite still using crutches due to her injury, Ripley joined in the celebration.
In fan footage that surfaced online, Ripley, who was limping on one leg, received support from Damian Priest and Jey Uso, who helped her by offering their hands. This touching moment caught Rhea Ripley’s attention, and she responded by calling both stars “Real men.”
While fans are enjoying the chemistry between Jey Uso and Rhea Ripley, it will be interesting to see if WWE plans to feature more moments between them.
