Rhea Ripley x Gunther: The WWE Holiday Duo We Never Expected; ft. IYO SKY On Mami's Back

Rhea Ripley and Gunther are two of the biggest WWE Superstars in the world today. In an unexpected clip from the last episode of RAW for 2025, a hilarious moment was caught on camera and shared on social media.

On the December 29 edition of RAW, The Kabuki Warriors taunted Ripley and IYO SKY ahead of their title match next week on the first RAW of 2026. The "RhIYO" duo came out and delivered a message to Asuka and Kairi Sane in an all-out brawl.

In a post on TikTok, @kickashpodcast shared a clip from the event that was not seen on WWE television. Rhea Ripley carried IYO SKY on her back during commercial break. They were walking up the entrance ramp when Gunther's music hit.

It meant that the show was about to go on air, prompting Mami to run quickly and get out of the shot as the clip went black. IYO SKY was hilariously moving her feet while Ripley was still carrying her on her back, as if she were running as well.

Here's the video of the hilarious clip:

Gunther would enter the ring and get confronted by R-Truth. They faced each other in a quick match, with The Ring General earning the easy victory.

WWE Hall of Famer wants to face Rhea Ripley

Speaking at a FanX event in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mick Foley was asked if there's any current WWE Superstar he would like to face. The Hall of Famer didn't hesitate naming Rhea Ripley.

"Me and Rhea Ripley most probably. The most famous intergender match of any kind was Billie Jean King against Bobby Riggs, and Bobby Riggs was past his prime, but he knew how to promote a match. So, I am 25 years past my prime, but give me four weeks, and I will create a match for you," Foley said.

Foley has been retired since January 29, 2012, when he participated in the Royal Rumble match.
