Rhea Ripley won the main event by defeating Asuka, but the celebration was short-lived. Minutes later, Asuka and Kairi Sane attacked both Ripley and IYO SKY with a brutal assault, leaving them collapsed as the show ended.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"189\"><strong data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"187\">Asuka Challenges the Mentality of Ripley<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"551\">On her KanaChanTV YouTube channel, Asuka released a video addressing Rhea Ripley\u2019s behavior. She said Ripley entered their recent match with unusual anger and aggression, which caught her off guard. Asuka pointed out that losing control of emotions is one of Ripley\u2019s most significant flaws, adding that a real champion knows how to stay composed in challenging situations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"864\">She didn\u2019t stop there. Asuka mocked Ripley directly, saying she had warned others to stay away from \u201csnakes like Rhea\u201d but that they were too blind to see who was real and who was fake. She called Ripley a puppet who would never break free and accused her of betraying trust while pretending to be the victim.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"900\"><strong data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"898\">Rhea Ripley: Master Manipulator?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1215\">Asuka also criticized Rhea Ripley\u2019s treatment of IYO SKY. She rejected Ripley\u2019s claim that IYO was unreliable and instead turned the accusation back on her. According to Asuka, Ripley is the one who cannot be trusted, as she exploits others to serve her own interests, and pointed to her past alliances as proof.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1468\">Asuka went further, bringing up Ripley\u2019s recent loss to Stephanie Vaquer, claiming it happened because Ripley refused the support of her and Kairi Sane. She bluntly called Ripley a loser for letting arrogance and poor choices cost her opportunities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1710\">By continuing to question Ripley\u2019s character and provoking her through both words and actions, Asuka made it clear their feud is far from over. WWE fans can expect more heated clashes ahead, as this rivalry is only beginning to intensify.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_137348\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-137348\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-137348 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/20250627_RAW_Netflix_Match_RheaRipley_16x9_Tonight-5090617fdd80e8560398d21b42d5fdb5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Rhea Ripley title graphic\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/20250627_RAW_Netflix_Match_RheaRipley_16x9_Tonight-5090617fdd80e8560398d21b42d5fdb5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/20250627_RAW_Netflix_Match_RheaRipley_16x9_Tonight-5090617fdd80e8560398d21b42d5fdb5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/20250627_RAW_Netflix_Match_RheaRipley_16x9_Tonight-5090617fdd80e8560398d21b42d5fdb5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/20250627_RAW_Netflix_Match_RheaRipley_16x9_Tonight-5090617fdd80e8560398d21b42d5fdb5.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-137348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Her fiery message, combined with the post-match attack, adds more fuel to Asuka\u2019s fight against Rhea Ripley.
