Happiest I’d been in a while

Rhea Ripley has revealed her tribute to IYO SKY, with whom she has teamed up for months. The duo decided to go their separate ways on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.

Ripley and SKY were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. They lost the titles to Nia Jax and Lash Legend before the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. Ripley then went on to win the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match and earned herself a title shot against Jade Cargill.

On her Instagram story, Ripley revealed that the first photo she chose to put on her gym’s wall of fame was a photo of her and SKY. She also paid tribute to The Genius of the Sky with a heartwarming message.

“Before any mania’s. Before any other title wins. This… This is the happiest l’d been in a while!” wrote Ripley.

Check out a screengrab of Ripley’s Instagram story:

CJ Perry, formerly known as Lana, compared Rhea Ripley to Roman Reigns

CJ Perry, formerly known as Lana in WWE, compared Rhea Ripley to Roman Reigns. She thinks that Ripley is as big a superstar as Reigns is, and Triple H and the WWE creative team think similarly.

Speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Perry said the following about Ripley:

“In some ways Rhea is like the Roman Reigns of the women; she’s a big player. Some would maybe say Charlotte Flair. Some would say Liv Morgan…but you know, possibly Triple H and creative, the decision-makers, they could see Rhea Ripley as like the Roman Reigns, right?”

Ripley and Jade Cargill will cross paths at WrestleMania 42 with the WWE Women’s Championship on the line. This will be their first-ever singles match and The Eradicator is also set to appear on tonight’s edition of SmackDown.

Meanwhile, IYO SKY has the chance to insert herself in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship picture.
