Rhea Ripley seemingly broke major WWE rule at Bash in Berlin

Rhea Ripley was a massively over babyface at WWE Bash in Berlin. The Germans loved Mami, which helped dilute a rule that she seemingly broke.

Ripley and her tag team partner, Damian Priest faced Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio in a Mixed Tag Team match at the premium live event in Berlin. Priest and The Eradicator were looking for payback against his former family, which betrayed them at SummerSlam.

The rule of a Mixed Tag Team contest is that only the male superstars can wrestle each other, and likewise for the women. If two women are competing and one of them tags their tag team partner, the other party must go out by default. However, the fans were hoping for Rhea Ripley to beat down 'Dirty' Dom after the latter betrayed her at WWE SummerSlam.

After taking out the Women's World Champion, and avoiding a sneak attack from Mysterio as well, Rhea Ripley finally unloaded on 'Dirty' Dom, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance.

In the closing moments of the bout, despite multiple interferences from The Judgment Day, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest were able to fend off their family-turned-rivals. Mami wound up pinning Liv Morgan emphatically to score the win for her team.
