Rhiyo is going on a break.
The duo of Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY had an emotional exchange on this week's episode of Raw, following the events of the last few days. The Mami, after losing the tag team titles to Nia Jax and Lash Legend at last Friday's SmackDown, thanked her partner for all her support during their run together:
“So I just want to say…thank you, IYO. Thank you for always supporting me and standing by me, and most of all, thank you for pulling me out of a very, very dark situation.”
I Will Be Alright: IYO SKY
IYO SKY in response, brought up Ripley winning the Women's Elimination Chamber match on Saturday. She confirmed that their tag team will be going on hiatus as Rhea moves to SmackDown while SKY remains on Raw:
“You did the same for me, Rhea. But you won the Chamber and showed everyone why Mami is always on top! I will be alright; I will be okay on RAW. You go handle your business and win the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania! Do it! Do it!”
Rhea then announced that she will appear on SmackDown this Friday to confront the Women's Champion. Though the two women have already kicked off their WrestleMania feud with a heated exchange on social media not entirely rooted in kayfabe. You can check out more about it here.
