“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring with her right arm in a sling. She does not look happy. Ripley gets in the ring and is sneering. A “Mami” chant fires up. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce is also in the ring. Ripley says, “So, obviously, you guys know what’s going on right now, yeah?” Ripley looks like she’s holding back tears. After the attack last week by Liv Morgan, she’s been told that she’s stuck on the bench for quite a few months. Ripley says she’s pissed off because she’s been told she needs to vacate the one thing that means the most to her: the Women’s World Championship. The crowd chants, “NO!” Ripley looks at the title. The crowd chants, “Bulls–t,” and Ripley says, “Yeah, it is.” Ripley says the title means the most to her in her entire life. That’s why this is so painful. Ripley lays the Women’s World Championship down on the mat and pulls at her hair. A “Thank you, Mami” chant picks up.

Ripley says, “Revenge Tour… this is all because of your stupid Revenge Tour, Liv.” She could’ve actually had respect for Morgan, but instead, Morgan blindsided her. Ripley understands because she would have dropped Morgan where she stood. This is a warning to whoever wins her Women’s World Championship. When she comes back, she’s coming back for blood. The crowd cheers. Ripley says she’s not going to be gone because of an injury. When she finds Morgan, Ripley will be locked up in Montreal jail.

Liv Morgan’s music hits, and she comes out with security, trying to hold her back. Morgan is laughing at the former champion. Ripley yells at them to let Morgan go. Ripley gets out of the ring, but she’s held back. Morgan is pulled away and continues to laugh at Ripley. The crowd loudly boos Morgan. Ripley lays out a security guard with a head-butt, but she doesn’t advance further.

The Judgment Day with new World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio are shown entering the arena earlier today.

The Judgment Day celebrates their WrestleMania successes

Finn Bálor, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh of the Judgment Day are standing in the ring. The crowd is loudly booing them. Bálor says to all the haters, doubters, the people who thought Rhea couldn’t beat Becky Lynch, and the people who thought Damian Priest would never cash in Money in the Bank and become Señor World Heavyweight Champion, they were all wrong. Bálor laughs at the crowd. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio grabs the microphone to LOUD boos. Mysterio shouts, “And STILL Women’s World Champion, my Mami, Rhea Ripley!”

Ripley says WrestleMania was almost perfect. They have a few new problems they need to deal with, but two things came out of this weekend. One is that Mami is always on top. The other one is that this is a new era for the Judgment Day. Bálor presents the new World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest.

“ALL RISE!”

World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest makes his way to the ring. As Priest gets in, a “You deserve it” chant picks up.

All of a sudden, R-Truth stands between Priest and Ripley with his Raw Tag Team Championship! The crowd roars. Priest says they’re not doing this again. R-Truth says he brought the Raw Tag Team Championship back to the Judgment Day. R-Truth wants to change subjects. They’re a little picky about picking people for the group. R-Truth is only one half of the Raw Tag Team Champs.

Raw Tag Team Champion The Miz makes his way to the ring. The Miz says he doesn’t want to be in Judgment Day. R-Truth doesn’t want to be either. Priest shouts that R-Truth isn’t in the Judgment Day, but R-Truth shouts that he is. The Miz gets in the ring and pulls R-Truth to his side. The crowd chants, “Yes, he is.” Miz says since they’re introducing new champions, he wants to introduce to Judgment Day and Philadelphia the new Raw Tag Team Champions Awesome Truth.

Bálor says it’s funny that Awesome Truth will have the shortest Tag Title reigns. Since they spoiled their celebration, they can put their Raw Tag Team Titles on the line right here and now. R-Truth says they can’t because there are only three of them. Bálor is confused. The Miz asks if R-Truth is talking about a real person and not Little Jimmy. R-Truth says they can have a 6-man Tag Team Match against him, The Miz, and the guy you can’t see. The crowd roars. McDonagh wants to get this right. The two of them and an invisible man against the Judgment Day… McDonagh agrees to the match.

The Miz says he wants to physically see their partner. R-Truth starts to introduce this person, but Judgment Day attacks Miz and R-Truth. R-Truth and Miz are sent out of the ring. The Judgment Day stands tall in the ring.

Rhea Ripley addresses WrestleMania XL
Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring alongside “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. Ripley has a brace on her left wrist. Ripley is less than two weeks away from facing Becky Lynch with the title on the line at WrestleMania XL. A “Mami” chant picks up. Ripley says to Mysterio that she feels like she’s not getting enough attention. She feels like a certain someone isn’t giving her their full attention. Becky Lynch continues to fight week after week. Ripley could have gotten her attention by attacking her during one of her many matches, but she decided to be respectful. Ripley is getting impatient because WrestleMania is just around the corner. Lynch should be giving Ripley her full attention.

Mysterio takes the microphone, and the crowd starts to loudly boo him. Mysterio says, “Becky…” and Becky Lynch’s music immediately interrupts him. Lynch gets in the ring to a nice ovation. Lynch shouts, “The Man has come around to Chicago!” Lynch stares at her WrestleMania opponent, and a “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says she doesn’t have to wait for Ripley to have a twenty-minute match to feel safe to come out and confront her. That’s what Ripley has done to her. Lynch could never do that because Ripley doesn’t compete on Raw anymore. Ripley asks why she would wrestle before the biggest match of her career. She doesn’t have to prove herself week after week. Lynch says that is the problem. They have two different interpretations of what a champion is. To Ripley, it’s posting her ass online to get attention. To Lynch, it’s busting her ass night in and night out to prove herself. There’s always going to be someone newer, younger, and hotter. The long game is skill, merit, and survival. It’s how you come back from not being the chosen one. Ripley hasn’t experienced that yet. At WrestleMania, the Man will give her a new experience.

Ripley says Lynch is right. She’s been through everything. Lynch is a survivor, but she reminds Ripley of something. Lynch is a cockroach. She’s hard to kill, but it’s not impossible. At WrestleMania, she won’t take it that far because she wants to leave her alive so she can sit on her couch and watch her do what she does. She wants Lynch to sit next to her daughter and listen to her call Ripley “Mami.” Lynch is furious. A “Mami” chant fires up. Lynch says that is Ripley’s one pass. If she ever mentions her daughter again, it’ll be the last words she says. It’s not just a line or funny. Her dad never got to meet her daughter. He was proud of everything she’s done in this ring, but the thing he would be most proud of is the mother she’s become. It might be a joke to Ripley, but it’s not a joke to Lynch. Ripley claims she didn’t attack Lynch out of respect, but there’s no respect in Ripley. She knows if she attacked Lynch, there’s no going back. After WrestleMania, neither of them will be the same again.

Lynch gets in Ripley’s face, but Mysterio backs Ripley up. Mysterio gets in Lynch’s face, and she punches him down. Ripley and Lynch begin to brawl in the ring before Ripley sends Lynch shoulder-first into the ring post. Ripley checks on Mysterio at ringside. Lynch leaps off the steps and attacks them both. Referees separate them, and Mysterio pulls Ripley away. Lynch breaks free, runs over Mysterio, and continues to brawl with Ripley. More referees run down to break it up.

“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring. Morgan stares up the ramp at the woman who took her out of action for months. Ripley stares at Morgan. Morgan shouts that she will take everything from Ripley. The referee pushes Morgan away toward the back.

Ripley gets in the ring and stares at her WrestleMania opponent, Becky Lynch. Ripley sarcastically congratulates Lynch. A loud “Mami” chant picks up. Was it all worth it to beat Liv Morgan? Lynch seems to be getting into these fights weekly and leaving it all in the ring. They seem to be getting closer and closer to WrestleMania. That’s what The Man is all about, right? She’ll fight anyone at any time and anywhere. Ripley knows the real reason why she does it. Lynch thinks she still has to prove that she’s the best, but she knows deep down that Ripley is better than her. That’s why she keeps accepting these matches heading into WrestleMania so she has an excuse for why she couldn’t beat Ripley. If Lynch doesn’t step into WrestleMania at 100%, she’ll stop being The Man. She’ll be a disappointment.

Another “Mami” chant picks up. Lynch thinks about it. Before the Royal Rumble, she looked Ripley in the eye and said she thinks Ripley is better than her, but she has to prove she’s not. Lynch says when people believe in her, she’s good. When people doubt her, she’s great. If it has to be Lynch against the whole world, the whole world doesn’t stand a chance. Lynch walks off on Ripley.
