During last night's post-WWE Elimination Chamber episode of RAW, top WWE star Rhea Ripley announced that she will be appearing on SmackDown this Friday to confront her WrestleMania 42 opponent, WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill.
Ripley earned her championship match against Cargill at WrestleMania 42 by winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match at Saturday night's premium live event. In her segment, Ripley told IYO SKY to keep RAW running smoothly while she focuses on SmackDown in her quest to become the Women’s Champion. Since Saturday, Ripley has been exchanging jabs with Cargill on social media, a rivalry that intensified when Chelsea Green and Piper Niven became involved.
WWE SmackDown this Friday will take place at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The show airs live on the USA Network in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
