Alexa Bliss & Rhea Ripley React To WWE Clash In Italy 2026 Backstage Attack On Charlotte Flair By Jade Cargill

With Charlotte Flair being attacked by Jade Cargill at WWE Clash in Italy, Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley have both reacted to what went down.

At WWE Clash In Italy on May 31, Rhea Ripley retained the Women’s Championship thanks, in part, to an assist from Charlotte Flair, with Jade Cargill seeking revenge backstage.

With Cathy Kelly catching up with Flair backstage, the interviewer would ask about the alliance with Rhea Ripley, only for the answer to be cut short by Cargill, B-Fab and Michin.

While the beatdown on Flair may have led to the intervention of WWE SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, among others, the associates of The Queen who would suggest that dangerous times are to come.

In a post shared on Twitter, Alexa Bliss, the tag team partner of Flair, would share a warning, stating:

“Y’all messed up. 😡 No one touches @MsCharlotteWWE.”

Flair would share a message of her own to Bliss, sending a seemingly heartfelt tweet reading:

“Love you.. MEAN IT ♾”

Rhea Ripley would also be somewhat frustrated by what went down backstage, tweeting:

“Yo… WTF!”

Michin seemed less concerned with Bliss’ words, opting for a reply featuring a series of emojis: “😘😘😘”

Meanwhile, Cargill would elect to prod the proverbial bear with a tweet targeting Flair, simply saying:

“Hey boo 😘👋 @MsCharlotteWWE”

The post would be accompanied by an image of a double-denim-wearing Flair covering her own face during the attack.

The Three-Star Powerhouse

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair make quite the pairing on WWE SmackDown, having seen multiple championship reigns between them during their respective careers.

Add Rhea Ripley, the current WWE Women’s Champion to the mix, and there’s the potential for a powerhouse faction that could very well dominate the division.

Ripley may have defeated Jade Cargill, having done the same at WrestleMania 42 to become a two-time WWE Women’s Champion, but it’s unlikely that the former AEW star is going to give up on the quest to reclaim that particular title. Add to it her antagonism towards Flair and there’s a combustive combination that opens up a potential direction that could see Cargill, B-Fab and Michin in a number of combinations against Ripley, Flair and Bliss.

With the Queen of the Ring brackets and the tournament kicking off on tonight’s WWE Raw, Bliss and Flair will be making their mark felt in the tournament, with the latter competing against Cargill, Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria in the opening round match.

The potential drama is obvious, although the idea of a three-star powerhouse featuring Ripley, Flair and Bliss is quite the prospect for the months ahead.
