Major WWE Champion hints at alliance with Rhea Ripley ahead of WWE RAW return

Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair has sparked speculation about a potential partnership with Rhea Ripley through a social media post. The EST shared a throwback image on her Instagram story showing herself and The Eradicator walking up the entrance ramp together.

Belair, who currently holds the Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Jade Cargill, kept the titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in last week’s RAW main bout. Both champions are also pursuing singles glory in the Women’s United States Championship tournament, with the finals scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.

The timing of Belair’s post is particularly significant as Ripley prepares to make her return from a fractured orbital bone injury.

The upcoming pre-taped edition of RAW will feature Rhea Ripley’s television comeback, where she appears wearing a protective mask during a pivotal WarGames segment.

The Eradicator joins forces with Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, IYO SKY, and Naomi against the team of Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Candice LeRae.

Ripley’s return to action at Survivor Series 2024 comes after suffering a backstage attack from Morgan and Rodriguez on NXT. Her alignment with Belair’s team adds another layer to the developing story between these WWE stars.
