This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw aired live from the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana and the show gave fans plenty to talk about. For week’s now tension has been building between Rhea Ripley and Asuka, and the two stars finally faced off in the main event on Raw this week.
Ultimately it was Rhea Ripley who picked up the victory over Asuka, but the action continued after the match was over. After the match concluded Asuka spit mist in the face of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky made her way out to make the save for The Eradicator.
Iyo Sky pleaded with Asuka to leave Rhea Ripley alone, and for a moment it seemed that everything was good. Asuka hugged Iyo Sky as Kairi Sane looked on and smiled, but the mood quickly changed when Asuka suddenly hit Iyo Sky with a spinning back fist.
Kairi Sane looked shocked as Asuka turned on Iyo Sky. Asuka ordered Kairi Sane to attack Iyo Sky, and she hesitated, but ultimately complied as she helped Asuka beat Iyo down. Kairi seemed to be conflicted throughout the segment. However, she took Iyo out with an Insane Elbow as Asuka held Iyo up while the show went off the air.
Asuka and Kairi, what have you done?
