Rhea Ripley has reacted to her SmackDown loss.

The latest episode of the Blue Branded show saw The Mami and her partner IYO SKY putting the tag team titles on the line against Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Legend picked up a surprise victory for her team in the match, pinning The Eradicator in the process of becoming the new tag team champions.

The former Women's Champion broke her silence after the show with a short social media post where Rhea Ripley apologized to SKY for the loss. Her partner quickly responded, telling her not to say sorry:

Rhiyo won the tag team titles by defeating the Kabuki Warriors during the Raw Netflix anniversary special earlier this year. The loss to The Irresistible Forces ends their reign at 54 days.

The Mami is scheduled to take part in the Women's Elimination Chamber match tomorrow night alongside names such as Raquel Rodriguez, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Kiana James, and Tiffany Stratton. The winner of the match will go on to challenge Jade Cargill for the Women's title at WrestleMania 42.

Rhea is unlikely to be kept off the Mania card, so she is one of the favorites to win the cage match. Where that leaves her tag team partner is something we will have to see.
