After helping each other out and calling out Charlotte Flair in the process last week, Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai teamed up tonight to take on Flair and a mystery partner in a tag team match. Flair’s secret partner was revealed to be none other than Chelsea Greene, and the duo walked out of the match with a surprising win, albeit thanks to some nefarious play from Flair.

After a back-and-forth match between the four superstars, things ended after Ripley was knocked off the apron after Flair threw her in front of Ripley. During the confusion, Flair was able to capitalize, and quickly rolled up Shirai, pinning her feet on the ropes in order to come away with the win.
