Rhea Ripley is furious, but she’s directing most of that anger at herself. After dropping the WWE Women’s World Championship to Iyo Sky on Raw, Mami let loose in a WWE Raw exclusive, admitting that she made the biggest mistake of her career.

“How am I feeling? How am I feeling? I’m pissed off. I’m mad, I’m furious. I’m everything. Every single angry feeling, I am feeling,” Ripley said. But instead of blaming Iyo Sky or even Bianca Belair, who was at ringside, Ripley pointed the finger at herself. “I should have known better. I should have known not to take my eye off the ball. I’ve been through this crap with Liv Morgan. I’ve been through all this with Dom, I’ve been through it with Judgment Day, and I still cannot learn. I cannot learn that friends are not real. Friends are not real.”

Ripley admitted she was hurt when she saw Bianca Belair cheering for Iyo Sky, knowing that she was supposed to be the one facing Belair at WrestleMania 41.

“To see Bianca go out there and be a little cheerleader for Iyo Sky when I thought that we were friends and we respected each other— that hit hard. We’ve literally been growing up on each side, on each brand, and just taking over. And now, everything that I wanted and everything that I worked for, it’s all taken away. And it’s all because I’m just so stupid. I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid,” she said, holding nothing back.

With Judgment Day seemingly in her rearview, Ripley was also asked if she felt isolated.

“Yeah. Isolated is definitely the word to use. Right when I think that I’m making friends, I screw it up. I screwed up Iyo’s match with Liv Morgan and took her out of the Elimination Chamber. That’s on me. I did that. I thought I was friends with Bianca. Now, that’s possibly done with too. So isolated is the word,” she admitted.

Now, Ripley is left without a clear road to WrestleMania 41, while Iyo Sky moves forward to face Bianca Belair for the WWE Women’s World Championship. With everything slipping away, what’s next for Mami?
