At the Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley outclassed every other woman to secure her first women’s Rumble match victory.

It was more than an impressive performance, as she won the match with five eliminations to her name. After the win, Rhea Ripley must be focusing on the champion of her choice to face at WrestleMania. She hasn’t yet made her decision, but everyone will find out who she challenges in the coming weeks.

After eliminating the runner-up, Liv Morgan, who entered at number 2, Rhea Ripley was the last woman standing in the ring. After the win, she discussed her possible WrestleMania opponent in an exclusive WWE interview. She talked about her history with both Raw and SmackDown women’s champions and commented on facing one of them. However, to everyone’s shock, she also mentioned The Bloodline, hinting at challenging Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. She also mentioned the recent history between The Judgment Day and The Bloodline.

As weird as it sounds, Rhea challenging Roman for the Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania will be great to watch. But then who will Cody Rhodes challenge after winning the men’s Rumble? It sounds funny, and WWE might use it that way. WWE might use Ripley’s comments in an upcoming segment for the purpose of entertainment. Rhea Ripley also praised current NXT wrestlers, stating how they deserved a spot in the Royal Rumble match. She also gave NXT credit for producing future wrestling stars. She also feels that men’s NXT wrestlers should also have been in the Royal Rumble match.

After winning the women’s Rumble with a gutsy performance, Rhea Ripley will head to WrestleMania for the championship match. When asked who she would like to face, Rhea didn’t give a definite answer to keep people guessing. She talked about her history with the current SmackDown women’s champion, Charlotte Flair, against whom Rhea has already competed at WrestleMania in 2020. She also mentioned Bianca Belair and their history back in their NXT days.

As per the rumors circulating for months, WWE is reportedly planning a dream match between Bianca and Ripley at WrestleMania. Bianca also mentioned Rhea as her dream opponent two months ago on the notsam wrestling podcast. When asked about her dream WrestleMania opponent, Bianca said, “I would love to have a WrestleMania match with Rhea. That’s a dream match of mine, to have it at WrestleMania.”

Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair for the Raw women’s championship promises to be a high-quality match. Also, because Rhea is a member of The Judgment Day, the buildup to Mania would be interesting. Fans will love to see Rhea go against Bianca with her momentum after joining The Judgment Day and becoming the most brutal women’s wrestler out of them all.
