6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (April 25)

Ups…

6. Ripley Speaks The Truth

Just to be clear, Rhea Ripley is supposed to be the heel here.

But no lies were detected when she revealed why she turned on Liv Morgan last week. Ripley noted that when she came up to the main roster, she won the Raw Women’s Championship on her own. But since losing the title, Rhea’s been thrust into the tag division and paired with partners who dragged her down to their level (her words).

So Ripley finally lashed out to stand on her own again. Liv cut the interview short by flying in to attack Rhea, triggering a pull-apart brawl.

But yeah, at least we got a reason, it was plausible, and Morgan got to show some fire. Passing marks.
