“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.

Backstage Segment

Former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is walking backstage, looking very dejected. The Judgment Day is waiting for her, and they embrace her. World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest says she’ll be more badass than ever when she comes back. They love her. Ripley tells them to make sure Judgment Day stays on top and to look out for “Dirty” Dom.

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!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring. Ripley gets in the ring and embraces her Judgment Day stablemates. A loud “Mami” chant fires up. 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. Priest says, “You’re damn right I do.” Priest refers to himself and Ripley as “The Terror Twins.” They always rise to the occasion. The world needs to follow suit and rise for the Judgment Day.

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.

Ripley is not happy.

The Judgment Day Clubhouse
Legado del Fantasma is still in the Clubhouse. Damian Priest is not happy with the result of Ricochet’s match and asks “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio why he still hasn’t been handled. Mysterio says he has just the guy. Andrade walks in. Mysterio offers to make him a full member of the Judgment Day if he takes care of Ricochet. The rest of the Judgment Day are shocked by Mysterio’s audacity. Ripley walks off and says she heard Becky Lynch is heading to the ring.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring. The Man has come around to Brooklyn and is looking for a fight. She started one earlier and doesn’t want to wait until WrestleMania to finish it. She’s done all the talking she needs to do with Rhea Ripley.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce comes out and says they’re not doing this tonight. The crowd boos him. Pearce says he cannot jeopardize one of the biggest matches on one of the biggest WrestleMania events of all time. Pearce asks her to leave the ring. Security is out with him.

The Judgment Day’s Clubhouse
Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is with “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. She knows Mysterio has unfinished business with his father and would have helped out on SmackDown. Mysterio apologizes. Damian Priest tells McDonagh to handle Ricochet. Finn Bálor isn’t happy Mysterio and McDonagh have looked like fools against Ricochet. Priest has a plan for WrestleMania. McDonagh says he has Ricochet’s number. Ripley tells them to win. Mysterio assures her they will.

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is walking backstage alongside “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. We’ll hear from her next.

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.

The Judgment Day Clubhouse Segment
We cut backstage and Dominik along with Rhea Ripley are with Andrade. Dominik tells Andrade he likes his style but things have changed. Rhea tells him the Judgment Day is an exclusive club. JD tells him very exclusive, Finn tells Andrade he heard he has a match next week and he will be watching. Andrade turns around and in steps Damian Priest who calls Andrade “idolo” and Andrade calls him “dinero” and leaves.

Priest tells JD they thought he was going to handle Ricochet and go to WrestleMania but he didn’t. JD tells them he battered Ricochet and he got lucky. Rhea tells JD that he was made to look like a fool and that is why Dominik will make things right against Ricochet. Dominik tells JD to go with him to talk to Pearce and make the match official.

We go to commercial.

After Becky’s successful match against Nia, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley’s music hits and she makes her way down to the ring. Ripley holds up her Women’s World Championship and she and Lynch get into each other’s faces as the show comes to a close.

After Becky and Liv’s match here comes Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley!

“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.

The Judgment Day Clubhouse

The Judgment Day is talking backstage when Andrade walks in. Damian Priest isn’t happy, but Rhea Ripley says she invited him. She says Dominik Mysterio isn’t here tonight, but they would like to talk to him. Andrade says he’s all about business. Finn Bálor says he’s known Andrade for a long time and finds him intriguing. Ripley says he brings a lot. Priest wants to continue focusing on WrestleMania. It starts by handling R-Truth.

“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio of The Judgment Day is standing in the ring, and the crowd is loudly booing him. Mysterio starts to speak, and the boos get louder! Mysterio wants them to welcome the greatest Women’s World Champion of all time, Rhea Ripley! The crowd did its best to drown him out.

“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, a finalist for the 2024 South Australian Woman of the Year, makes her way to the ring to a great ovation. Ripley will next defend her championship against “The Man” Becky Lynch.

Ripley says, “Welcome to Monday Night Mami!” A loud “Mami” chant picks up. This weekend, she walked into her home country as the Women’s World Champion and out as the Women’s World Champion. Nia Jax might have been the biggest threat to her title reign. It doesn’t matter how big you are. Just because she’s from Down Under doesn’t take away from the fact that Mami is always on top. She is Rhea “Bloody” Ripley.

“The Man” Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Lynch gets in the ring and stands across the ring from her WrestleMania XL opponent. A “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says, “The Man has come around to San Jose! And the Man has come around to WrestleMania to fight you.” Lynch points at Ripley. Lynch says she is out here to congratulate Ripley. Ripley had a great night on Saturday. Actually, they both did. Lynch won the Elimination Chamber. Ripley successfully defended the title against Nia Jax in her home country in a filled stadium in the main event. Ripley’s friends and family were in the front row to see her victory. It was even better because now they won’t have to fly over to WrestleMania to watch Ripley lose. The crowd boos. Mysterio says, “Nobody talks to Mami like that.” The crowd loudly boos Mysterio. Lynch says, “Shut your mouth, you dirty cumquat.” If Mami won’t put him in his place, the Man will. Ripley has been the face of this company over the last year, but she spent the majority of the time being fed grapes by that loser (Mysterio). Lynch has been the heart and soul of the company, became a Grand Slam Champion, and has a best-selling book. The Man can do it all, including beating Rhea “Bloody” Ripley.

Ripley asks if she’s done. Lynch nods. Ripley warns her not to disrespect her Latino Heat ever again. Ripley congratulates Lynch on winning the Elimination Chamber. It’s about time she stopped disappointing Ripley to get a little close to her. The Man always thinks they’re the backbone of everything. The funny thing is behind every great man is a greater woman. Ripley isn’t behind Lynch because Mami is always on top. Ripley and Mysterio walk off.

All of a sudden, Nia Jax attacks Lynch from behind. Jax slams Lynch down a few times and drops a leg. Jax shouts at Ripley and drops another leg on Lynch. Ripley and Mysterio storm off. Jax pulls Lynch to the corner and sets up for an Annihilator, but WWE officials run down to help. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce shouts at Jax and warns her that he’ll fine her. Jax angrily walks off.

The Judgment Day is walking backstage when they come across Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. She asks “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio about challenging Gunther. Mysterio says they’ve got this. Ripley says she hopes so and walks off. Finn Bálor tells him to go smooth that over. Mysterio walks off and bumps into Andrade. Mysterio says it’s good to see him, but he’s got to smooth things over. Andrade says he’s going to be meeting with Adam Pearce to discuss his first opponent. Mysterio wishes him luck.

WWE promotes Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken Tour. Tickets go on sale on March 1.

Sitdown Interview

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and Nia Jax are shown on split-screen, seated in separate rooms. Michael Cole asks Ripley if she has butterflies heading into her home country. Ripley says this is her first chance to compete in her home country as a WWE Champion. The last time she was there, it was as part of the independent scene. When she came to WWE, she was uncomfortable in her own skin. She had to remind herself who she was. She’s Rhea “Bloody” Ripley, the most dominant woman in WWE. Nia Jax sarcastically says that was cute. She is twice Ripley’s size and has triple her talent. Jax is happy this is happening in her homeland. When she squashes Ripley again, Mami will go home crying to her Mommy. Ripley says Jax can talk all she wants and attack her from behind all she wants. When she’s face-to-face with her in Perth, Australia listening to everyone screaming for Mami, she’ll crumble. Jax’s nightmares will become a reality when she realizes she is just not good enough. Ripley says she’ll see her in Perth and leaves. Jax sneers into the camera.

“The Man” Becky Lynch talks about her first Elimination Chamber match

“The Man” Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring. The crowd loudly chants her name. Lynch shouts, “The Man has come around to Lexington, Kentucky.” She just saw an interesting sign… she’s going to the prom in 2034. They are officially on the Road to WrestleMania. It has been crazy, wild, chaotic, and confusing. It’s also unpredictable. That’s what she loves about this. She loves this business so much. She was 15 years old when she first stepped into a wrestling ring. She has been obsessed ever since. That obsession has been great most of the time. She traveled the world and is in front of these fine people right now. It’s the reason a girl who once failed gym class went on to win the Main Event of WrestleMania. It’s how she met her husband and has her daughter.

That obsession is also the reason she’s missed birthdays, weddings, and her own father’s funeral. Her daughter is only three years old, but she’s already had some difficult conversations with her. She’s had to explain why her face is busted and bloodied, why she can’t pick her up because of a separated shoulder, and why her daddy wants to fight Maui. She’s going to the Elimination Chamber. Her daughter will see her mother’s face smashed on the steel, but she’ll also see the brutality that her mother is capable of. She is obsessed with this and has never been more obsessed about getting the title back she hasn’t held in two years. That starts with winning the Elimination Chamber and going face-to-face with one of the most dominant champions we’ve ever seen. A lot of people love Mami. They don’t think anyone can beat her. A “Mami” chant picks up. Lynch isn’t just anyone. She ain’t never faced anyone quite like Lynch. Whether you love Mami or hate her… whether you love Lynch or hate her… Lynch asks for a drink to make a toast. If you have a drink, some popcorn, or a fist, she wants them to raise it up in the air. This is for Rhea Ripley. She can enjoy her last few weeks as champion. Bottoms up!

Nia Jax comes out to the ring to loud boos. Jax knows they’ve had their differences, but she has something to say to her. Jax gets in the ring, and a “You suck” chant picks up. Jax is pretending to be emotional. She has so much respect for Lynch. If her mom was half the mom Lynch is, she’d be lucky. She hopes to be a mother one day and use Lynch as an example. Lynch looks confused. Jax says Lynch will win the match at Elimination Chamber. With that passion and that drive for her little girl, there’s nothing that will stop her from winning that match and going to WrestleMania. Jax is pretending to cry and then stops. Jax says nothing will stop her from beating Rhea Ripley and winning the Women’s World Championship. It will be them at WrestleMania.

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley charges down to the ring. Ripley takes Jax down and punches away at her. Jax head-butts her away and knocks her back. Ripley nearly hits Lynch. Jax then avalanches Ripley into Lynch. Jax lifts Ripley, but Ripley slides off. Jax takes Ripley out with a right hook. Lynch then dropkicks Jax out of the ring. Ripley slowly gets up and stares at Lynch. Ripley then sidesteps Lynch and big boots Jax off the apron. Ripley shouts to Jax, “You’re going to have to kill me!”

The Judgment Day’s Clubhouse

Finn Bálor, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley are backstage watching the Nia Jax video. Ripley walks off and says she has to address her division. Damian Priest walks in, and Ripley stares at him before leaving. Bálor asks where Priest has been. Priest says he’s the only one who has an issue with Drew McIntyre running his mouth, so he addressed it with Adam Pearce. JD McDonagh asks when they can beat up R-Truth. Priest tells McDonagh to worry less about R-Truth and worry about not letting what happened tonight happen again. Bálor asks if he’s really defending R-Truth. Priest says that R-Truth earns for the crew. They should go get their cut, but McDonagh shouldn’t count on one. Priest says he and Bálor have serious business and need to focus on their match.

We see Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley walking backstage. She will address the Women’s Division next.

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley addresses the Women’s Division

“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her entrance. She looks extremely serious as she heads to the ring. A LOUD “Mami” chant picks up. Ripley looks unimpressed. Ripley says she is so sick and tired of people like Nia Jax running their mouths and claiming that this is their division. This is Rhea Ripley’s division. That’s why this is her championship. The crowd gives her a great ovation. Ripley warns whoever wins the Royal Rumble Match. If they decide to waste their WrestleMania, then she advises them to choose her. If they don’t want to waste that opportunity, they can choose someone else. It’ll end up like last year because Mami is always on top.

Becky Lynch’s music hits! The crowd is absolutely buzzing as Mami and The Man stand in the ring. Lynch says, “So here we stand… two very different people with two very similar journies.” They’re two women from foreign lands who came here to be the very best to ever do it. Both spent years meandering and being afterthoughts at WrestleMania to being the face of the industry at the next one. There’s a difference: one of them went to win the Main Event of WrestleMania. The other did not. There’s another difference. One of them has a natural ability in the ring and finesse that is unmatched with the strength of a bear. The other has a relentlessness and determination that is unmatched. They’re the two very best to do it. There’s this thought and voice in Lynch’s head that keeps her awake. It’s saying to her that Ripley might be better than Lynch. Lynch needs to prove that Ripley is not. To do that, she needs to take that title from her. To do that, she needs to win the Royal Rumble. Lynch needs to point to the sign. She needs to declare at WrestleMania it will be Mami versus The Man.

Ripley says only one person wants Lynch to win the Royal Rumble more than Lynch, and that is Rhea Ripley. Ripley says, “I’ll see you at WrestleMania.” Ripley walks off.
