This was something fans have been speculating for quite some time now.<\/p>\n<p>This week on the blue brand, Rhea Ripley was in a segment where she quite literally could not even get one full sentence in after a point. Once the interferences started, they just never stopped. It started with IYO SKY, then Bianca Belair, followed by Naomi, and finally Jade Cargill.<\/p>\n<p>After Jade Cargill sent Naomi packing in the ring, Rhea Ripley looked at the 32-year-old top star and said that it wasn&#8217;t about her.

It looks like they have big plans for her in the coming years. But for now, she has to take care of Naomi. Just as Ripley made that statement to her, Jade Cargill was attacked by Naomi from behind and it led to a brawl involving all five women.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it was IYO who stood tall while Naomi was sent packing. Cargill also avoided taking any major damage, but her friend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bianca-belair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Bianca Belair<\/a> couldn&#8217;t leave the ring unscathed.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, it was quite a chaotic segment on SmackDown.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/1062-1715750781-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Rohit Nath&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nRohit Nath is a content writer from Bangalore, India.
