WWE roster went through a shake-up on these past episodes of Raw and Smackdown and Rhea Ripley was a part of that process. Being a top superstar and one of the reigning champions, she was selected by the Raw brand. Since a number of female superstars were also picked by the red brand, this leads us to believe that we’re probably going to see some fresh feuds in due course.
Since coming to the main roster, earlier this year before Wrestlemania, Rhea Ripley had the opportunity to square off against top names like Asuka or Charlotte Flair. In fact, WWE booked the trio in a title match feud all over the summer. Now, Flair has moved to the blue brand but in return, WWE has sent The MAN back on Monday Nights.
AJ Styles And Omos Was Planned To Be Split At WWE Draft 2021
As noted, both Rhea Ripley was drafted to stay on RAW while the Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was also moved over to RAW from Smackdown. This certainly gives WWE the opportunity to create a mouth-watering feud between the two superstars in due course.
Rhea Ripley wants WWE Raw Women’s Champion in the ring
During an interview with the Battleground Podcast, The Nightmare has picked a few names that she can compete against, including Becky Lynch.
“I do like the color red, I do like being on RAW, but I really want to step in the ring with Becky again. I got to wrestle her once in NXT and it got cut short by Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn, and Marina [Shafir], so I would love to step in the ring with her again and I would love to be a grand slam champion,” Rhea Ripley stated.
“I love disrupting the peace, apparently. But that day will come and my time will come whether it’s this draft or next draft, I really have no idea. But I’m down for a fight whenever so if Becky want to fight me, then I’m ready.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
Scarlett Could Return To WWE At “Any Time Or Any Place”
During the conversation, one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions also mentioned how she misses her old stomping grounds of NXT. However, since her departure, NXT has transformed to NXT 2.0 and the experience could be different than she remembers.
It was on NXT that Rhea Ripley participated in a match against former Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch in the past. They were also involved in a Triple Threat at Survivor Series 2019 in a match featuring three champions. But those didn’t occur as a result of a full-fledged feud that is likely happening on Raw in due course.
