When Paul Heyman told Rhea Ripley that he needed to get approval before he could okay the Bloodline standing alongside Judgment Day, Rhea Ripley simply looked at him and said, “Paul … Acknowledge me.”
That segment between Rhea Ripley and Paul Heyman struck a chord with fans in a big way. The segment went viral, and many were talking about it. As it turns out, the buzz around that segment was also thick within the WWE writers’ room.
Ringside News was told by a tenured member of the creative team that there was, “so much buzz this weekend over the Rhea Ripley promo backstage with Paul Heyman.” It was also noted to us that many have been talking about “how Heyman is such a star-maker.”
The Judgment Day and Bloodline’s alliance may prove valuable for everyone involved in the future. Then again, longtime WWE fans also know that any pact in the company is made to be broken, and a match may always follow in its wake.
