Rhea Ripley has had her hands full with Mercedes Martinez for a number of weeks. Ever since Martinez joined the Robert Stone Brand and Ripley rejected the chance to have Stone as her manager, the two have formed quite the rivalry.
Martinez was the reason why Ripley was not able to face Io Shirai for the NXT Women’s Title at the last TakeOver event as she cost her the number one contender match. That match was won by Dakota Kai as a result.
Ripley received some justice as she laid out Martinez with a powerbomb from the ring apron to the concrete floor. Martinez then fired back and cost Ripley her tag team match against Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai last week.
Ripley has announced that she is done dealing with Martinez and the Robert Stone Brand. She challenges her to a Steel Cage match and Martinez accepts. It will take place next week on another Tuesday episode of NXT.
