Rhea Ripley is still feeling the physical toll of her brutal Street Fight against Raquel Rodriguez at WWE Night of Champions 2025, but the pain didn’t stop her from pushing through in the final moments to secure the win — and move one step closer to reclaiming the WWE Women’s World Championship.
At Night of Champions 2025, Ripley overcame Rodriguez in a Riyadh Boulevard Street Fight. The match reached its climax when Ripley delivered the Avalanche Riptide from the top of a table propped on the top rope.
Speaking with Byron Saxton and Jackie Redmond afterward, Ripley admitted that her biggest concern in that moment was the fear of the table collapsing, but she was relieved it held up long enough to execute the move cleanly.
During the interview, Ripley was seen clutching her ribs. She revealed that they were bruised — thanks to multiple kendo stick shots and the chaotic nature of the bout — but clarified that she didn’t believe she’d sustained any serious injuries.
