Former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley has sent a message following Dominik Mysterio’s win over Damian Priest on WWE RAW. Last week, Dominik Mysterio set his sights on Gunther’s World Heavyweight Championship title.
In a backstage segment, The Judgment Day discussed their strategies, with leader Finn Balor determined to block Damian Priest from getting a shot at the Championship. Dirty Dom then boldly declared his interest in challenging the current titleholder, Gunther.
Carlito, amused by Dominik’s ambition, approached Adam Pearce to set up a match between Dominik and Gunther. Pearce accepted Carlito’s suggestion but instead arranged a match between Dominik Mysterio and a former World Champion. On RAW, it was revealed that the opponent was none other than Damian Priest.
In a drastic turn of events, Mysterio not only faced Priest but also achieved the unthinkable by defeating him in the match. This shocking victory prompted a reaction from Dirty Dom’s former onscreen girlfriend, Rhea Ripley, regarding his unexpected success.
How Rhea Ripley reacted to Dominik Mysterio’s big win
In the main event of RAW, Dominik Mysterio went head-to-head with Damian Priest. As anticipated, The Judgment Day members interfered during the match. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez appeared to distract the referee. This allowed Carlito and JD McDonagh to attack Priest. Despite the interference, Priest quickly recovered and delivered chair shots to both Carlito and JD McDonagh. However, seizing the opportunity, Dominik Mysterio quickly rolled up Priest for the win.
After the match, an infuriated Priest unleashed a brutal assault on Mysterio, repeatedly striking him with a chair and delivering a South of Heaven to Carlito. He followed up with the same move on Dominik Mysterio.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez helplessly watched him getting beaten down by the former WWE World Champion. However, this brutal beating prompted Rhea Ripley to react, expressing her happiness.
While Dominik Mysterio did defeat Damian Priest, he now faces another hurdle. Adam Pearce revealed that if Mysterio wins again, he will earn a spot in the number one contendership match for Gunther’s World Heavyweight Championship. What fans await now is the opponent whom Dirty Dom will face in the next match.
