After winning over the WWE Universe in the Fatal 5-Way match at Crown Jewel, a 29-year-old superstar earned herself another opportunity to battle Rhea Ripley at Survivor Series 2023. The name in question is none other than the rising female star of Monday Night Raw, Zoey Stark. She will challenge Ripley at WWE’s upcoming premium live event for the Women’s World Championship.

On the latest edition of Monday Night Raw, a number-one contender women’s Battle Royal match was announced to determine the next challenger for Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship. Each and every competitor put their best foot forward to secure the win. However, it was Zoey Stark who stood till the end and clinched the victory by eliminating Shayna Baszler.

A backstage segment immediately followed the fast-paced battle royal. Raw interviewer Jackie Redmond asked Rhea Ripley about The Judgment Day colliding with Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in the coming week. The Nightmare said that she will handle her business at Survivor Series, just like the boys (Damian Priest and Finn Balor) will retain their coveted titles next week.

A few moments later, Zoey Stark interrupted Rhea Ripley and confronted the champion. She reminded The Eradicator that it was her who handed a vicious Z-360 to Ripley at Crown Jewel. Thus, she should keep her focus entirely on Stark. However, The champion bragged about her decisive victory at Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, the young gun wasn’t daunted by Ripley’s mind games. She told her to hold the title nice and tight for her and walked off.

Zoey Stark believes she will have a great chemistry with Rhea Ripley

After spending over six months on the main roster, Zoey Stark has finally earned a shot at the prestigious Women’s World Championship. Nonetheless, the young gun always wanted to lock horns with Rhea Ripley.

In an interview with TMZ Sports earlier this year, Zoey Stark expressed her desire to face Rhea Ripley for the latter’s championship. Stark was of the opinion that two women would share fantastic chemistry in the ring. She was also certain that they would deliver a hard-hitting, brutal match if they ever went toe-to-toe with each other.

I really want Rhea Ripley; I feel like we can have an amazing match. I feel like we'll have great chemistry inside of a ring together. And we'll have a fun time doing it, and honestly, we'll beat the crap out of each other. And I think that would be fun to watch.

Now, months after the aforementioned interview, the 29-year-old has secured herself an opportunity to go one-on-one with The Nightmare, Rhea Ripley. The two superstars have never battled each other in a singles premium live event thus far. It goes without a second thought that the two women will tear the house down at Survivor Series.
