This week on RAW, Judgment Day faced off against The Bloodline. Rhea Ripley came face to face with Solo Sikoa during the confrontation. Both superstars are the ‘enforcers’ of their respective stables, and fans wanted to see them go at it, judging by the audience’s reaction. Mustafa Ali, however, broke up the staredown by attacking Sikoa.

The Eradicator then took to Twitter to express her feelings to The Bloodline. The former RAW Women’s Champion clearly wants to stir up some controversy because she knows that using The Tribal Chief’s catchphrase will not go down well. Ripley is one of the few female WWE wrestlers to have defeated a male superstar.

After Triple H stepped down as NXT’s Creative Head due to health issues in September 2021, Vince McMahon rebranded NXT as NXT 2.0. During that time, Triple H’s close friend and NXT creative team member Road Dogg was fired. Former WWE Writer Vince Russo stated on The Wrestling Outlaws that McMahon punished them for losing the rating war to AEW Dynamite.

“So bro, when your son-in-law (Triple H) is on his deathbed, Vince McMahon takes over NXT, fires everybody Triple H hired, and does a whitewash of everything. Bro, you do that while your son-in-law is on his deathbed. Bro, to me, that was the punishment,” he said.

The Original Bro Matt Riddle was fired from WWE TV after being brutally attacked by Solo Sikoa. The real reason for his absence is that he is allegedly in rehab after failing his second drug test. The former US Champion re-emerged on social media and posted a picture with his family with a heartfelt caption.

“So happy to be back with my family and to enjoy sushi with them. Hope everyone is having a great day #stallion #family #love,” tweeted Riddle.

Riddle is rumoured to be making a comeback soon and is being advertised for some WWE shows in February. The original plan for Riddle was to face his former tag team partner Randy Orton at WrestleMania 39. However, due to Orton’s injury, those plans may not come to fruition.
