On the February 9 episode of WWE RAW, Rhea Ripley secured her place in the Women’s Chamber Match by winning a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match against Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile. Ripley clinched the victory by executing her finishing move, the Riptide, on Valkyria, successfully pinning her to earn the spot. However, an unusual moment during the contest caught the audience off guard and quickly became a talking point.
Unexpected Misstep During Triple Threat Match
During the match, Ripley positioned Valkyria on her shoulders in an electric chair hold but was turned away from Ivory Nile, who was perched on the top rope ready to assist. Nile attempted to launch herself for a Doomsday Device maneuver, but the timing faltered, causing Valkyria to fall face-first without any contact from Nile. The botched spot stood out in contrast to the otherwise competitive match and sparked surprise among viewers.

In a recent discussion on Logan Paul‘s IMPAULSIVE podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella expressed a strong interest in challenging Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Bella pointed out that the Bella Twins are keen to pursue the tag titles following their reunion in WWE.
“So, when I saw that [tag titles] come, I’m like, ‘That was meant for us.’ And so, for me now, it’s like I really want for the Bella Twins to go after those titles. But you know, the Bella Twins always have tricks up their sleeve. That’s the thing. You got to have a different mindset, especially when you’re a heel. Like, we win s**t. We don’t have to be clean or do a handstand for five minutes, but I’ll get it some other way.”
