WWE fans will be in for a treat on the RAW after Backlash. Michael Cole announced that a six-time WWE champion will be on the red brand next week.
Rhea Ripley, who is a three-time Women's Champion, Women's Tag Team Champion, NXT, and NXT UK Women's Champion, missed the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW before Backlash. She recently flew to Australia to promote the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event, which will take place in her home country on October 11.
Mami, alongside IYO SKY, is currently in the midst of a feud with Roxanne Perez and Giulia. She wrestled the Prodigy in a singles match on RAW last week, which ended with Giulia causing a disqualification. The two heels launched a two-on-one attack until SKY fended them off.
During the latest edition of RAW, the Women's World Champion member found herself all alone when she got laid out by Perez and Giulia. Rhea Ripley's absence was felt during the show.
However, that changes next week. Michael Cole confirmed tonight that IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley will face Roxanne Perez and Giulia in a tag team match on the RAW after Backlash.
The Eradicator and The Genius of the Sky would have to set their differences aside and work together before rekindling their rivalry down the road.
