Over the past, there have been various superstars who went to Hollywood to pursue a career. WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley is the latest wrestler to talk about having an acting career ahead of her. Ripley aspires to join the likes of The Rock, John Cena, and Batista who went on to have successful movie careers after having lengthy runs in WWE.

Rhea Ripley has had a successful year, winning the Royal Rumble at the beginning of it. Subsequently, she went on to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39 from Charlotte Flair. As of now, she has only had one title defense against Zelina Vega at Backlash. The Eradicator is currently a part of The Judgment Day, one of the most dominant factions.

In a recent interview with the Cheap Heat podcast, Rhea Ripley revealed that she would love to have an acting career at some point. She said that is something she has often thought about. The Eradicator also clarified that she does not plan on doing any films just yet as she is quite satisfied with her wrestling career.

Additionally, Ripley believes she would not have time to take on new assignments given her current commitments. She also picked her favorite genre if she ever makes a movie.“I feel like if I were to do a movie, it would have to be like an action or a horror.” The Eradicator believes that she is not a good fit for other genres.

Rhea Ripley has been holding the SmackDown Women’s title since WrestleMania. She does not plan to lose it any time soon. Ripley, along with The Judgment Day, has been one of the hottest things in WWE television lately. WWE drafted The Judgment Day to Monday Night Raw in this year’s draft.

Rhea Ripley has been unstoppable since winning the Royal Rumble this year. She won her WrestleMania match in reasonably convincing fashion. WWE has been booking her as a dominating force on Raw and SmackDown. In addition to that, she has been portrayed as equal to, if not more powerful than, her male counterpart in the faction.

Being a part of the Red Brand, Ripley will be defending her title on Raw exclusively. The superstars that can challenge her for the WWE SmackDown title include Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. While Lynch is a fan favorite, Rousey looks to be a serious threat. Besides, the storylines will be interesting for fans.

Due to their same in-ring abilities and NXT histories, Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley might be a well-liked match-up. Apart from them, the Raw roster consists of some strong women like Natalya, Indi Hartwell, Alba Fyre, and Candice LaRae, who can also be worthy opponents for Rhea Ripley.
