Rhea Ripley will soon be completing an entire year as a WWE Women’s Champion. The Judgment Day powerhouse is now heading to Australia at the Elimination Chamber to fight before her home crowd. However, this will not be an easy trip for Mami as she will have her hands full of two things.
Rhea Ripley will have to overcome the mighty Nia Jax to defend her top gold. Moreover, the Elimination Chamber match will also determine her next opponent right after she is done with Jax and possibly retains her title. Interestingly, Mami already has her eye on every EC contender. She is keeping a close watch on one of them who might be a threat more than Jax.

WWE’s The Bump added a new video on YouTube titled, “Rhea Ripley can’t wait to rip Nia Jax’s head off.” Mami talked about her upcoming matchup and how she would have to bother herself with a match instead of chilling at the beach. When questioned about the Elimination Chamber contenders, the Australian said that while they do have caliber, she will always emerge as the victor. According to Ripley, “I mean, they’re all credible, and they’re in different ways. They’re all threats. Liv, she has it out to get me. I don’t blame her, but you know, that’s a long story. Then we have Bianca. She is absolutely amazing. She’s the EST of WWE. She’s going to be a challenger as well.” While these contenders carry fresh WWE blood, Mami talked about who the real threat in the EC lineup is.
Rhea Ripley said, “Becky Lynch. Someone who continuously likes to cut me off when I’m talking, and just runs her mouth about me. She’s also made quite a name for herself here at WWE. She’s done a lot here, but it’s Mami’s time.” The WWE Women’s Champion had quirky answers to every question. Lynch and Ripley shared a fiery exchange during the WrestleMania 40 kickoff event and have had numerous other run-ins with each other.
Nevertheless, the reigning champion has to stave off complacency as eyes the immediate threat posed in front of her. Jax has unleashed terror on the women’s division upon her return to the promotion last year and she will ensure she gives it her all to cement her place at WrestleMania 40 as champion.
However, she also had a question of her own. In fact, despite being a guest, Mami’s question forced The Bump’s host to concede.
When Mami took over the interrogation for one cold question
Rhea Ripley caught The Bump’s host off-guard when she asked her, “Mami’s always going to be on top. So, should I be worrying about them? Or should they really be worrying about me?” This surprised the host and made her take a brief pause.

She noted, “That is a good question. I’m the one usually asking the questions, but that was a really good one. I will give it to you, yeah.” When the Elimination Chamber comes, Rhea Ripley will not be surprising Nia Jax with just questions but welcome her with Riptides.
