The Eradicator also explained that she would have to be fully prepared to give her best in that event. She said, “I don’t know how many I’ll be allowed to have, but I’d like to have at least 100. Just put it out there, WWE, please. My family’s very big.”
Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler’s match disrupted by a brawl
On last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler fought against each other in a non-title match. The match was going well until Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark interrupted their fight with a brawl. Rhea took the first initiative by attacking, but Baszler dropped The Eradicator.
Following this, The Queen of Spades stomped on Ripley’s arms. After a few moments, the women’s champion managed to gain control of the match by delivering a missile dropkick. Then, Ripley deadlifted Shayna and powerbombed her to break free.
Unexpectedly, Nia Jax came down to the arena, as both ladies were laid out due to the powerbomb. She intended to take revenge on Mami for the humiliation she faced earlier. However, Jax was interrupted by Raquel and Stark. This created a brawl, and Stark ended up attacking Ripley. Therefore, the match was canceled by the referee.
