Rhea Ripley appearance to kick off WWE Raw

An appearance by Rhea Ripley will kick off WWE Raw tonight.

WWE has announced that Ripley will appear at the start of tonight’s show, which was taped last week in St. Louis. Spoilers for the episode can be found here.

Ripley is set to address Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez during her appearance on tonight’s Raw. At Bad Blood, Rodriguez returned to WWE programming and attacked Ripley during her match against Morgan. Though Rodriguez’s attack caused Ripley to win by disqualification, the result meant that Morgan retained her Women’s World Championship

“Although interference by a returning Raquel Rodriguez gave her a disqualification win over Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan at WWE Bad Blood, Rhea Ripley still walked away without the gold and thirsty for more,” WWE wrote. “After unleashing chaos on SmackDown, Ripley will surely bring her special brand of brutality when she kicks off Monday Night Raw. Don’t miss a moment of the action at 8/7 C on USA.”

Ripley brawled with Rodriguez and Morgan on SmackDown last Friday until the two heels were able to get away.

The announced lineup for tonight’s Raw is listed below:

  • Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes appears
  • WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill defend against IYO SKY & Kairi Sane
  • Bron Breakker vs. Kofi Kingston
  • R-Truth vs. The Miz
  • Rhea Ripley kicks off the episode
