It seems like everyone has Rhea Ripley on the list of their dream opponents. And why not? Over the past year, the current SmackDown Women’s Champion has redefined sheer dominance. Since Triple H has assumed the creative reins of WWE, he’s done everything in his power to position Ripley as the top superstar in women’s division. Quite evidently, that decision was right and Rhea is performing at an elite level.

Now, it appears like Zoey Stark, who’s recently drafted to Raw, wants a piece of The Mami. During her conversation with Steve Fall, she was asked about her dream opponent. Well, the 29-year-old had a name ready in her mind. At first, Stark said that she’d love to face Becky Lynch. However, she wants to tango with Rhea Ripley on a grand stage, quite possibly at SummerSlam.

She felt confident about her fate at Money in the Bank. It’s clear as daylight that if she eventually grabs the briefcase, she’d no further than Ripley. Also, her being aligned with Trish Stratus straightaway on the main-roster tells a lot about how WWE views her. Obviously, people in management are high on Zoey Stark.

From her so-far outings on Raw, she looks confident and can go for long. If WWE books her against Rhea Ripley in a long-term feud, it would be exactly where the money lies. For now, both woman have their own rivals to take care of. However, the moment they cross paths, should feel like a big-time interaction, or else the hype wouldn’t take long to fizzle down.

Rhea Ripley receives a warning from Brandi Rhodes

This week on Raw, Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley played hide and seek with Cody Rhodes. Just when The American Nightmare was about to get his hands over Mysterio, his Mami came to the aid. And of course, Cody had to back down. Shortly after their segment, Brandi Rhodes tweeted out that although her husband can’t hit The Eradicator, she will.

This caused a stir as fans arrived to the conclusion that she’s preparing for her WWE return. So far, it appears like Cody Rhodes would need his wife to even the odds. Also, the Prodigal Son must be fuming ever since getting slapped in face for some weird reason.

If a Brandi Rhodes in-ring return is indeed on the radar, WWE can simply boom a mixed tag-team match. Since Money in the Bank is not that far away, that might be the perfect destination for it. Next week’s Raw should provide more information regarding what’s the ultimate plan for them.
