A WWE personality, who fondly referred to herself as Rhea Ripley’s “ex” in the past, has revealed that she will be at RAW in Houston this week, where Mami is teaming up with IYO SKY to face B-Fab and Michin. Cathy Kelley responded to a fan on her X account when quizzed about the reunion last week.
Ripley, who’s set to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Title at WrestleMania 42, was being assaulted by Cargill and her new stablemates B-Fab and Michin on SmackDown. This is when SKY came to The Eradicator’s rescue. Following the segment, the tag team match for RAW was made official.
Thanks for the submission!
Cathy Kelley, who shares a close bond with Rhea Ripley in real-life, has adopted a social media gimmick where she acts like a jilted lover whenever Ripley has a reunion. When a fan recently asked her about Ripley and IYO SKY teaming on RAW, Kelley hilariously replied that she was on her way to Houston.

“that’s so crazy i’m on my way to Houston now,” tweeted Kelley.
Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill’s feud is getting heated
The build to Ripley and Cargill’s upcoming WrestleMania 42 contest has kept the fans buzzing for reasons beyond what’s happening on TV. The two performers traded deeply personal barbs a few weeks back on social media, following which conflicting reports emerged that suggested there was real-life heat between them.
Though nothing came out of those rumors, Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill were wise enough to capitalize on this buzz to escalate their feud on TV. The addition of B-Fab and Michin as Cargill’s partners complicated things for The Eradicator, with the odds being stacked against her. That said, IYO SKY showing up on SmackDown to side with Ripley has balanced things out to an extent.
While there’s little doubt that Rhea Ripley, who’s had more than a few classics at Mania, is sure to deliver another memorable match against Cargill, things could go in either woman’s favor. A victory for Jade Cargill would solidify her position as a top star in WWE. On the other hand, Ripley winning would reassert her stature as a true modern-day great, irrespective of gender.
