Dominik Mysterio defended his NXT North American Championship against Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali in a Triple-Threat match at NXT’s Great American Bash. Due to the equalizer, Rhea Ripley, fans knew Dominik was the odds-on favorite going into the match. As expected, Ripley continued to irritate Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali during the match.
In fact, at one point, she put Wes Lee through the announce table, much to the chagrin of the WWE Universe. After witnessing the antics of the Women’s World Champion, fans are clamoring to see the return of Randy Orton in hopes of neutralizing Rhea Ripley.

Dominik Mysterio won the NXT North American Championship a few weeks ago with much assistance from Rhea Ripley. So far, Rhea Ripley has been serving as Dom Dom’s great protector, besides being his “Mami”. Ripley, who has the reputation of dominating men, let alone women, unsurprisingly got involved at Great American Bash.
During the match, Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali put up a fight despite Ripley’s presence at ringside. But fans were upset after The Eradicator dismantled Wes Lee by delivering a Rip Tide on him through the announce desk. In addition, Ripley pulled Mustafa Ali out of the ring before he almost scored the win via pinfall after hitting the 450 splash. This allowed Dominik to capitalize and deliver a frog splash to secure the win.
At this point, the WWE Universe has seen enough of Rhea Ripley attacking men. The 26-year-old gained notoriety for her dominance over male superstars after she defeated Akira Tozawa in an impromptu match last year on Raw.

Ripley has also victimized major stars like Seth Rollins by interfering during his matches. Nonetheless, we will have to wait and see if a star emerges to stop the onslaught.
Only Randy Orton can silence Rhea Ripley
Randy Orton has a history of attacking women. The first time he was seen attacking a female talent was in 2005 when he delivered an unexpected RKO to Stacy Keibler. Furthermore, the likes of Stephanie McMahon, Beth Phoenix, and more have fallen prey to The Viper.
Orton has been out of action for over a year. However, his return is much anticipated. With each passing premium live event, fans speculate on his much-awaited comeback. Anyway, the WWE Universe believes that only Randy Orton can put Rhea Ripley in her place. Here’s how the fans reacted-

- “Rheay fuc*n ripely should be stopped we need randy”
- “Rhea needs a Rko or Pedigree somebody do her like randy ortan did to Stephanie McMahon”
- “We need randy back immediately. This cant keep happening”
- “Lita to chair shots from Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chyna fought for the intercontinental championship against Jeff Jarret ,Stacie Keebler took an RKO from Randy Orton. Rhea is just Lucky WWE isn’t allowing ANY pay back from Men. she just SUCKS”
- “We need Randy Orton to come back and RKO her. He’s by far the best woman beater in WWE”
Come to think of it, WWE has not allowed male talents to retaliate against Rhea Ripley. Let’s not forget that female stars like Lita and Chyna have taken the worst hits from men in the past. It will be interesting to see Randy Orton cross paths with Rhea Ripley in the future.
