Rhea Ripley has reacted to Bianca Belair’s performance as special guest referee in her Women’s World Championship match with IYO SKY on WWE Raw.
With her WrestleMania 41 hopes hanging in the balance, Rhea Ripley walked into WWE Raw without a victory over IYO SKY to her name.
And unfortunately for The Eradicator that record still stood once the bell rung at the end of the contest, as special guest referee Bianca Belair ruled the bout a double disqualification after both competitors inadvertently struck The EST.
Speaking to WWE Raw backstage correspondent Jackie Redmond after the result, Ripley conveyed her dismay at Belair’s officiating, noting how she had the match won for over 10 seconds while Belair wasn’t in the ring counting her pin.
Rhea Ripley said:
“What’s going through my mind right now? I had the match won. I had the match won! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, where’s Bianca Belair huh?
“Is she pulling a John Cena on us? Because I can’t see her anywhere huh. Where’s she at? She’s screwing me out of WrestleMania once again because she is scared of me.
“She is scared that I am absolutely going to destroy her, that is what happened and that is what’s going to continue to happen, I’m going to continue to ruin Bianca Belair until I get exactly what I want because this is absolute crap.
“Every single time, every single time. I’ve never beaten IYO before and she knows that so she implements herself into the match so I can lose once again at her hands, are you kidding me?
Redmond would then inquire as to what Ripley said to both Belair and SKY after the bell, to which she answered:
“What was that message? It was a warning Jackie. It was a warning. WrestleMania, it’s not out of my grasp yet.”

Ripley would end up standing tall over both SKY and Belair at the end of Raw, hitting both with the Riptide, however, as of now the WrestleMania 41 Women’s World Title match is still just a singles match between SKY and Belair.
