Even though she has brutally taken down every opponent in front of her, fans are not content with Rhea Ripley and her title run. While her WrestleMania victory against Charlotte Flair is a contender for the match of the year, she hasn’t had an opponent that could recreate the ‘Mania magic.
But this week, fans exactly got what they wanted from Ripley. In a showing against a former NXT Women’s champion, Ripley dominated all throughout the match. But when the match ended, it wasn’t the ending that Ripley and her ‘Dirty Dom’ Dominik Mysterio expected.

After their altercation last year, Indi Hartwell found herself in a match with the World Women’s Champion. While she put up a good fight, Ripley dominated the match and won with her Riptide. But that wasn’t all. During the match, Ripley took out Hartwell’s partner, Candice LeRae and the Poison Pixie didn’t take this lightly.

After the match, LeRae came in to take down Ripley along with Hartwell, putting in an extra slam. This got Ripley irritated as hell as she was the one left in the ring, beaten up despite winning the match, fair and square. All the while, Dominik Mysterio was standing on the ringside waiting for the two women to leave the ring, which the former NXT tag team champions promptly did.

But this could mean that Ripley will want her revenge against these former champions. Knowing the Eradicator of The Judgment Day, she might even take on both of them in a handicap match next week on Raw. Taking on two champions at the same time might pose a challenge to even Ripley, who has been undefeated since winning the title.

Also, the threat of Raquel Rodriguez in the back, bitter about Ripley taking out her tag partner Liv Morgan is also well alive. With Rodriguez’s stature and power, she might finally give Mami a taste of her own medicine in the ring. But we’ll have to see when the former tag champion will heal and take out all her anger on the World Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley.
