"Don't know who that is" - Rhea Ripley refuses to acknowledge Judgment Day member

Rhea Ripley made it clear that she was not a fan of at least one Judgment Day member recently. The Eradicator, who was one of the initial members of the faction, was cast aside last year at SummerSlam, following the betrayal by Dominik Mysterio.

Hence, it was no surprise that she completely ignored the Intercontinental Champion during a segment on WWE's YouTube called "The best advice Dirty Dominik Mysterio ever gave me."

The segment featured current Judgment Day members Finn Balor, Raquel Rodriguez, and JD McDonagh, as well as former allies Damian Priest and Ripley. CM Punk was also featured in the video, taking sarcastic jibes at Dom. Rhea Ripley, on the other hand, outright refused to acknowledge him.

"What's funny is that I don't recall that name at all. Are you sure he's been working here for 20 years?" she said at the start of the video.

The video was part of WWE's celebration of Dominik Mysterio's 20 years in the company, having first featured on their programming during the infamous Custody of Dominik storyline involving Rey Mysterio and the late Eddie Guerrero. However, Ripley claimed she didn't know him at all.

"Dominik Mysterio, not Rey Mysterio? Like actual Dominik. I honestly don't know who that is," she said. [From 1:15 - 1:22] "He must be good if he's been here for 20 years. But I don't know, honestly can't be that good because I've never heard of him," she added. [From 2:03 - 2:08]

At the end of the video, Ripley again said that she doesn't know Dom and he has never given any advice to her.

"I don't think there is anything, 'cause I don't know who that man is, to be completely honest with you. So, I do not recall knowing him in my past or the present or even the future. I don't know any advice he's given me. Sorry. Baffles me really," she mentioned. [From 2:50 - 3:08]

Ripley and Dominik became the mainstays of RAW during their time in Judgment Day until Liv Morgan arrived on the scene. Morgan began to get Dominik on her side in Ripley's absence, and the two even worked a mixed tag team match on RAW.

Last year at SummerSlam, as Morgan put the Women's World Championship on the line against The Nightmare, Dominik distracted the referee, which allowed Morgan to hit an Oblivion on Ripley onto the chair and win the match.

After the match, Dominik kissed Liv on the entrance stage, signifying their alliance and betrayal of Ripley.


Rhea Ripley eyes the Women's World Championship again

At Evolution, Rhea Ripley battled IYO SKY for the Women's World Championship in a fierce contest. However, it was Naomi who walked out as champion after cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase.

This led to a confrontation between the three stars on RAW this week, before GM Adam Pearce made a Triple Threat match official for SummerSlam.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
