Rhea Ripley is currently on a hot run in WWE. Ripley has always been one of the most popular superstars on the roster. However, ever since she aligned with The Judgement Day, and started tagging along with Dominik Mysterio, Ripley has been pure gold.
Every segment involving Ripley and Mysterio has been one of the best creatively told stories on the show. Although Ripley is currently one of the favorites to win the Women’s Royal Rumble, she still showed up for the Men’s match.
The Men’s 2023 Royal Rumble saw The Rated-R superstar Edge making his return to the ring, after suffering a humiliating beatdown at the hands of Finn Balor at Extreme Rules. However, Edge returned at the Royal Rumble and faced off against The Judgement Day.

Post his elimination, Edge chased Balor and Edge and was about to give them a beatdown, when ‘Mami’ Rhea Ripley came down at ringside, to make the save. As Ripley was attacking Edge, The Glamazon made her return and speared Ripley down.

Loved seeing @EdgeRatedR return in the mens royal rummble and throw out 2 member of the judgement day and seeing @RheaRipley_WWE laid out by @TheBethPhoenix was just icing on the cake. Eish someone would put each member of judgement on the shelf for good.
