"She's a Barker, I'm a fighter" - Rhea Ripley fires shots at Becky Lynch ahead of the 2025 Survivor Series

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley has teamed up with IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and AJ Lee to compete in the Women’s WarGames match at the 2025 Survivor Series. Ahead of the clash with the heel team, Mami has fired several shots at one of her opponents, Becky Lynch.

Rhea Ripley made an appearance on the latest episode of WWE RAW Recap. She was asked about all the noise The Man had been making on social media ahead of the San Diego PLE on November 29, 2025. Addressing the matter, the former two-time Women’s World Champion said:

“Look, Becky's a talker. She is a yapper. She's a barker. I'm a fighter. That's what I do. Social media is social media, but at the end of the day, it is such a small group of individuals that believe in that hype. And at the end of the day, they can fight back on Twitter, and they can fight back on Instagram, and they can make videos, and they can do all this social media bullcrap. But at the end of the day, when you step in the ring, what are they going to do? Are they going to talk or are they going to fight? I'm here to fight. We're stepping into WarGames. You can't talk your way out of this. You can't yap your way out of this. AJ said it best. She's a little chihuahua. She's a small dog that has a loud bark."

Rhea Ripley said that Becky Lynch does pack a punch and can also be very strategic, but she can’t work her way out of this match. She noted that if she tries to work her way out, she and her team will get disqualified and lose the match.

Rhea Ripley gives an update on her injury

Rhea Ripley got her nose busted by The Kabuki Warriors during WWE’s Japan tour last month. Since then, The Terror Twin has been wearing a protective mask during her television appearances. Giving an update on her injury during the same episode of WWE RAW Recap, Mami said her nose is still not fully recovered.

The Aussie said that her nose has healed somewhat, but she will still need to wear the protective mask. Ripley noted that the mask will remain on even at the 2025 Survivor Series, unless one of her opponents forcibly tries to remove it.

Most recently, Candice LeRae had removed the luchador mask of Axiom on last week’s episode of SmackDown. Moreover, her opponents, Nia Jax, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Lash Legend, and Becky Lynch won’t hesitate to try to do the same to her at WarGames. It would be interesting to see which team emerges victorious on November 29.
