A major WWE star sent a message to Rhea Ripley ahead of this week’s episode of RAW, and a veteran was visibly upset. Tomorrow night’s edition of the red brand will air live from the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas.

Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka on the September 22 edition of WWE RAW. After the match, Asuka and Kairi Sane (The Kabuki Warriors) attacked Ripley, and The Empress of Tomorrow spit mist in her eyes. The Kabuki Warriors attacked IYO SKY and Ripley during last week’s episode of RAW.

Ahead of tomorrow night’s show, Asuka took to social media to send a message to Ripley, and Kairi Sane can be seen visibly upset. You can check out the video in the Instagram post below.

“Rhea’s baka baka baka baka baka,” she wrote.

IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley are scheduled to battle The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team match at Crown Jewel next weekend. Stephanie Vaquer defeated SKY at Wrestlepalooza to become the Women’s World Champion. Vaquer will be squaring off against Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s World Championship at the PLE later this month.

Vince Russo reacts to Rhea Ripley’s segment on WWE RAW

Wrestling legend Vince Russo shared his thoughts on Rhea Ripley’s segment this past Monday night on WWE RAW.

Speaking on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, Russo pointed out that Ripley was fine the week after Asuka spit the mist in her eyes. The veteran suggested that the storyline had already lost all of its credibility due to Triple H’s booking.

“Here’s how clueless they are. So, she takes the poison mist. And they’re putting over the poison mist. Well, Ripley took the poison mist last week, and she seems to be totally fine. You said that. You said last week that she’s gonna take the mist, she’s gonna sell it like that, and she’s gonna come back next week perfectly fine, no eye patch, no reddening of the eye. So, it’s got zero effects on Ripley. But now we’re supposed to believe again it’s a poisonous risk, and IYO SKY can’t see for the next two-and-a-half hours,” he said.
