WWE: Rhea Ripley forced to rush into major change could be a problem, according to real-life Bloodline member (Exclusive)

A real-life Bloodline member recently discussed WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley going through a major change on television following her split from The Judgment Day. The Bloodline member in question is Lloyd Anoa'i.

After Dominik Mysterio betrayed Rhea Ripley to side with Liv Morgan during their match at WWE SummerSlam 2024, The Eradicator underwent a major character change from a big heel to a huge babyface. Following this massive shift, Ripley's storyline also changed, and some people believe she has lost her 'edgy' side amid teasers of her on-screen romance for weeks with another big babyface, Jey Uso.

At WWE Bad Blood 2024, The Nightmare locked horns with Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship. However, Ripley once again failed to recapture the gold.

During Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bad Blood post-show review, Bill Apter said that he believed Rhea Ripley was lacking the brutality she showcased during her run as a heel.

"There's something different about [Rhea Ripley]. I don't see that viciousness that I saw a while ago...I'm used to her as a heel. There seems to be a lighter attitude coming from her," Apter said. [From 19:15 - 19:58]

The Rock's cousin, Lloyd Anoa'i, agreed with Bill Apter, saying that he believed it was hard for The Nightmare to transition into a babyface so soon.

"I was just gonna say that, you know, I think it's kind of hard for her to transition right now. Like it's so quick to transition into what she's doing right now. So, I think that's [a] little bit of a tweak that she probably needs," Lloyd said. [From 19:28 - 19:41]

Real-life Bloodline member Lloyd Anoa'i believes Rhea Ripley's WWE Bad Blood had a major botch

During the same Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bad Blood post-show review, Lloyd Anoa'i said that he believed Raquel Rodriguez's involvement in Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan did not make sense.

The Rock's cousin also mentioned that WWE might have added Rodriguez into the mix to hide Dominik Mysterio's botch, where he got stuck midair while trying to jump down from the shark cage.

"I'm not sure because I don't see her [Raquel Rodriguez] coming into that, they're just doing that angle with Rhea Ripley. So I don't see how Raquel comes [into] the picture. So I'm thinking, maybe [a] possibility that they probably had to do that to cover up or whatever, but I definitely think there was a botch there for sure," he added.
