WWE is happy with the buzz for Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill.
The Twitter exchange that started with the Women's Champion reacting to The Mami's Elimination Chamber victory quickly took a sharp turn after Cargill said that Ripley spent hours talking to the creative. This prompted a number of female stars to speak up in support of Rhea and made people wonder about Jade's standing in the company.
Fightful Select recently provided an update on the whole thing, noting that the comments started as a work but took a 'more serious turn' when the Women's Champ brought up creative. On the belief that the exchange was all part of the story, a creative team member said that bringing them up undermines the point of their feud.
There is no news of heat from the management for any of the involved parties, and no concerns about the two working together. The higher-ups were said to be happy about the buzz generated by the online beef and the feeling that the two women legitimately disliked one another.
Sources close to Jade Cargill dismissed the situation as not being a big deal. Though the locker room has also taken note of the fact that Tiffany Stratton, Michin and B-Fab all suffered injuries after wrestling the former AEW star.
Rhea Ripley on this week's Raw, confirmed that her tag team with IYO SKY was going on a break as she pursued the Women's title. She also announced an appearance on this Friday's SmackDown for a confrontation with her WrestleMania opponent.
