Rhea Ripley has been on a roll ever since joining The Judgment Day last year. Maintaining her momentum, Ripley won the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match last month as well. Rhea is more over with the WWE universe than she has ever been since her NXT debut. Prior to headlining WrestleMania this year, Ripley and The Judgement Day were involved in a feud with WWE Hall of Famer Edge and his wife Beth Phoenix.

At the Elimination Chamber, Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley squared off against Edge and Beth Phoenix in a mixed tag team match. With the amount of talent involved, the match was expected to be a banger. The match absolutely delivered and turned out to be one of the best mixed tag team matches in WWE history.

Though everyone performed in the match, but it will be remembered for the bout between Ripley and Phoenix. Edge and Beth emerged victorious at the end. However, Ripley was not pinned before WrestleMania. Following her incredible performance, The Glamazon appreciated Ripley calling her “the real deal” in a tweet.

Beth also encouraged Ripley to capture the women’s championship at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Phoenix has previously congratulated Ripley on her Royal Rumble victory as well. It seems Rhea has earned the respect of The Glamazon following her incredible show of grit and dedication on multiple occasions.

Following her incredible win in the women’s Rumble match, Rhea Ripley shocked everyone by challenging for the SmackDown women’s title. Shutting down all the rumors, Ripley chose to challenge Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. The match promises to be great given the talent of both women involved.

Charlotte and Ripley also have a history dating back to 2020. On an episode of SmackDown, Charlotte addressed the challenge from Rhea and vowed to defeat her again, as she did at WrestleMania 36 for the NXT Women’s championship. Flair stated that Ripley was not ready at the time, and she is not ready now either.

Following the Elimination Chamber, both women are expected to come face-to-face prior to their championship match at WrestleMania. Considering Ripley’s momentum currently, it seems this could be her time to exact revenge for her loss to The Queen at WrestleMania 36.
