Rhea Ripley Opens Up About Her Title Loss and WrestleMania Uncertainty

Emotional Fallout as Ripley Reflects on Betrayal and Missed Opportunities


Summary

– Rhea Ripley blames herself for losing focus in her title match against IYO SKY

– Feels betrayed by Bianca Belair’s support for IYO despite their shared history

– Acknowledges feeling isolated after Judgment Day’s shake-up and past mistakes

Rhea Ripley didn’t hold back her emotions following her crushing loss of the Women’s World Championship. After the match, Ripley admitted she was furious—but not at IYO SKY or Bianca Belair. Instead, she directed her anger inward, blaming herself for once again allowing distractions to cost her everything.

Ripley recalled similar situations, mentioning Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and her struggles on Judgment Day. Despite knowing what IYO was capable of, she felt she had let herself believe she was unstoppable. That overconfidence, in her eyes, was her downfall.

Adding to her frustration was Bianca Belair’s involvement. Seeing Belair cheer on IYO SKY stung deeply, as Ripley had believed they shared mutual respect. Their careers mirrored each other’s, from NXT to the main roster, and they even landed on the cover of WWE 2K24 together. In Ripley’s mind, their WrestleMania showdown was inevitable—until it was taken away.

Ripley also admitted she feels isolated, noting that Judgment Day’s dynamics have changed, and Damian Priest is now on a different show. With Bianca seemingly turning her back on her and IYO capitalizing on her lapse in focus, she is left questioning who, if anyone, she can trust.

Despite her heartbreak, WrestleMania is still six weeks away, leaving Ripley with a sliver of hope that she can fight her way back into the title picture. Whether she can overcome her self-doubt and reclaim her dominance remains to be seen.
