Rhea Ripley interrupted by unexpected top star; Sets up huge main event on RAW

Rhea Ripley opened the show on Monday Night RAW with an entrance shot starting from backstage. She was confronted by an unexpected name and it set up a huge main event.

This week on RAW, Rhea Ripley was out to send a message to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, the latter costing her in the Women's World Championship match at Bad Blood 2024. But she found herself getting interrupted by Tiffany Stratton, who made her message clear.

She said that Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez were Nia Jax's business and Rhea Ripley needed to stay out of it. This was a follow-up to SmackDown, where Morgan and Rodriguez helped Naomi beat the WWE Women's Champion.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez came out again and took both the women out from behind. This set up the main event where Ripley and Stratton were to team up to face Morgan and Rodriguez.

At first, Ripley insisted she didn't want any help, but Adam Pearce wouldn't let her go at it alone. When Stratton showed up to complain, the General Manager put her in the main event without her even realizing it.

Ripley reluctantly agreed to let Stratton team up with her.
