The year 2022 didn’t see Rhea Ripley engage in a singles match much, as she was recovering from an injury. Although Ripley wasn’t much involved in action, she did some of the best work of her career. In fact, being a part of Judgment Day is the best work of The Eradicator’s career. Rhea Ripley’s character work is often praised by the WWE Universe.
Now that she missed opportunities last year, she won’t let any slip through her fingers this year. Ripley, a one-time RAW Women’s Champion, has yet to achieve much in the WWE. She definitely has the potential to be a main eventer in the future. The Former RAW Women’s Champion is one of the favorites to win this year’s Royal Rumble.
During a recent chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Rhea Ripley was asked about the opponent she would choose if she won the Royal Rumble. She said that even though she has fought against Charlotte Flair numerous times, she feels that they haven’t had a great match until now.
This, according to Ripley, is why she chose the Queen as her opponent at WrestleMania 39. The Eradicator said that Bianca Belair would make a fantastic opponent at WrestleMania since she is very similar to her in many aspects.
“That’s a tough question. If I would win the Royal Rumble, they both are competitors I would love to go to WrestleMania against. I have done my time with Charlotte……So maybe Charlotte, “But then there’s also Bianca……so I think that would be such a great match for WrestleMania. So if I win the Royal Rumble, I’ll have a lot of thinking to do.”

Rhea Ripley speaks about entering the Men’s Royal Rumble match
Rhea Ripley is one of the strongest female wrestlers in the women’s locker room at the moment. She has shown her strength by picking up male wrestlers such as Luke Gallows and Dominik Mysterio. Ripley even won a match recently against Akira Tozawa. In the same interview, she was asked about her possibility of entering the Men’s Royal Rumble.
She said that she would love to enter the Men’s Rumble. Beth Phoenix, being one of the women to enter the Men’s Royal Rumble, was mentioned by Rhea Ripley. She expressed her desire to fill in Phoenix’s shoes and contribute to the women’s revolution.
“I mean, yeah, I would love to enter the Men’s Royal Rumble. I would love to; it’ll be a lot of fun. It’s a history-making thing, especially having someone like Beth Phoenix, whom I looked up to as a kid…..I would love to step into the Men’s Royal Rumble; I think it’ll be a lot of fun,“
Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Nia Jax, and Kharma are the only four women who have entered the Men’s Royal Rumble. Chyna has entered the Men’s Rumble twice. Ripley, having the potential to throw some of the men over the top rope, can definitely join the four women.
