Since coming to the main roster a few years ago, Rhea Ripley was touted to be one of the future star powers of the female roster. Proving the speculations true, she won a championship in her first match as a Raw roster talent. Then she climbed the wall in the WWE and made it to the absolute top for such a long time.
Rhea Ripley always had the potential to carry the women’s division on her back and she’s essentially doing it on Raw. After clinching all the gold that NXT and NXT UK divisions had to offer, she arrived on the main roster in style and she’s heading into yet another championship outing at Wrestlemania 40.

Last year, Rhea Ripley won the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and earned the right to challenge for a title of her choosing at WrestleMania 39. She then defeated Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women’s Title on the first night of the PLE. She later defended the title against the likes of Nia Jax, Natalya, Zelina Vega, Zoey Stark, and many more names to solidify her legacy as the champion.

Rhea Ripley had a one-year-long-run in the WWE
That being said, Rhea Ripley has now held the Women’s Title for one year as she won the title on April 1, 2023, exactly a year ago. Now, she is heading toward her next title defense in a dream match against Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania XL. Lynch won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match to secure the championship match opportunity in February.
As for Rhea Ripley, she continued her strong run in the WWE as the reigning Women’s World Champion in 2023 which marked her strongest year with the company, thus far. Her booking as a singles star was solid and furthermore, the alliance with Judgment Day also helped a lot.
During her time with Judgment Day, the Women’s World Champion had also been seen feuding with men on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown. As a result, names like Akira Tozawa, Luke Gallows, Kevin Owens, and more have suffered assaults at her hands. Now, the question remains if Rhea Ripley would be able to prove her worth against the most veteran star power on the roster that’s Becky Lynch.
