Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest might go their separate ways after what the fans saw at Bad Blood. The Punisher defeated Finn Balor, taking revenge against the man who cost him the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam.

Mami, on the other hand, was on track to re-claim the Women's World Championship, but an interference from a returning Raquel Rodriguez cost her another title opportunity.

Even though Rhea Ripley is seemingly not done with Liv Morgan and The Judgment Day, she is expected to go separate ways with Damian Priest, as The Punisher told media in the press scrum after Bad Blood. Priest cited the need to succeed on their own as the reason for the split.

"While it was fun as far as doing it with your friends and what not, at the same time, there is something to, 'Alright, now I’m here, let’s see what I can do on my own.' I love Rhea, that’s my best friend in the world. Obviously, she’s in the women’s division, I’m in the men’s division. Although we’re friends, we have to follow our own path," Damian Priest said, via Inside the Ropes Wrestling.

The Terror Twins formed a dominant duo and dominated The Judgment Day, taking revenge after the double betrayal at SummerSlam. Damian Priest will now shift his attention to winning back the World Heavyweight Championship, while Rhea will target Raquel Rodriguez after the latter re-ignited their feud.


What's next for Rhea Ripley after failing to re-claim the Women's World Championship

Rhea Ripley defeated Liv Morgan via disqualification at Bad Blood, but Liv retained her title, thanks to Raquel Rodriguez's interference.

Currently a heel, Rodriguez cost Ripley the title, and the two are now set to collide on RAW. Mami already cut a promo where she made it clear that her feud with Liv Morgan and the rest of The Judgment Day is far from over.

The two female stars will most probably not face each other in the coming weeks, as Liv has now shifted her attention to the Crown Jewel Championship match against the reigning WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on September 2.

Thus, Rhea Ripley will look for revenge on Raquel Rodriguez and the expectation is that WWE will not have this match take place on RAW, but rather schedule it for the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
