A controversial moment transpired during this week’s episode of WWE NXT when Rhea Ripley made a surprise appearance to support ZARIA, who was making her in-ring debut for WWE.
Ripley delivered an impassioned speech while revisiting her former territory.
However, before the main event, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez were seen backstage with baseball bats. Ripley was found lying next to her car with a cut on her forehead, and fake blood was streaming down.
Fightful is reporting that despite worries within NXT regarding the volume of blood displayed on television, it was sanctioned by “a higher power” within the brand.
