WWE brought a big show for their October 29 episode, and that included some can’t miss elements. Zaria’s in-ring debut was worth watching, and Rhea Ripley couldn’t miss the chance to see it in person. However, her night ended in bloody fashion.
After they booked the massive 5 vs 5 match for next week’s episode in the 2300 Arena, Rhea Ripley was shown backstage in the locker room. She was there to give the babyface team, which included Zaria, some motivation.
Rhea Ripley had a big smile on her face as she gave the babyface team a bunch of confidence for their battle next week. It appeared that she was confident as a veteran member of the main roster stopping by her old stomping grounds.
Then, during the introductions of the main event match, the camera rushed backstage. They briefly showed Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez walking away with baseball bats, and Rhea Ripley was laying by her car. She was also a mess.
The former WWE Women’s Champion was busted open and blood was pouring from her head. It was evident that she was assaulted and it was a very violent display. This was hard to watch, and it was way more blood than they usually use on television.
We will have to see what happens next, because attacks like this backstage usually result in some time off. Rhea Ripley seemed very motivated to regain her title belt, but Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez certainly pulled off a surprise attack this week on NXT when they caught Ripley lacking at the NXT Arena.
