5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (Oct 24)

1. The Legend Of Rhea Ripley Grows

What can you say about Rhea Ripley that hasn’t been said already? From being mired in go-nowhere tag teams to languishing as Edge’s lackey, Ripley seemed to be way off-course for the longest time.

But Rhea has found herself in the new iteration of The Judgment Day as the group’s enforcer, much like Chyna was D-Generation X’s x-factor in its early days. Ripley has played off of and played up Dominik Mysterio during his heel turn, and she’s been a difference-maker during Judgment Day matches.

Monday, however, she hit the trifecta. Ripley pumped up Dominik in the promo and would deliver a low blow to Karl Anderson so Finn Balor could win his match.

But mid-match, she posted the massive Luke Gallows and then bodyslammed him, which was a pretty damn impressive feat. She even then made a point to mock LG with a “too sweet” in his face.

If you weren’t impressed by Ripley before Monday, you should be by now.
