Garett wanted to see this turn, “Welcome to the dark side, Rhea…where you were meant to be. 😈👹👏👍”

Harley says, “It was still Great. I think Edge turning heel may have limited his moveset so maybe that’s why these aren’t the classics we all hoped for but it was still great and Then Rhea revealing herself was really cool”

 

Indeed, this fan is right, “Rheas reached the other side 🎶”

Keivon said, “*edge while rhea was recovering*
Edge: You’re one of the top singles female wrestlers Herd! Do you wanna keep being in loser tag teams?! Living for Brutality more like Living for L’s! Join us, join Judgement day”

What is next for Ripley?

Rhea Ripley was the unknown masked person who interfered in the Edge vs AJ Styles match at WrestleMania BackLash. Fans predicted this move from Ripley, but not this soon. She became the third member of The Judgement Day faction led by Edge.
