Is Rhea Ripley the most dominant force in WWE today, or is she overrated?

Rhea Ripley, former WWE Women’s World Champion, made her return to the ring on the July 8 episode of WWE RAW. Since Ripley’s injury and the conquest of the Women’s World Title, Liv Morgan has openly flirted with Dirty Dom. She even took things further by kissing him after the first retention of the belt, which took place against Becky Lynch. In recent weeks, however, Rhea Ripley has made her return to RAW. She has surely not liked this love triangle in which she was entangled.

Upon her return, Ripley challenged Morgan to a match for the Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley will return to action, not only to claim the Women’s World Title she never lost but also to claim Liv Morgan’s soul. One of the best rivalries that have been brewing in the Women’s Division in recent years is about to have its first showdown. Because although it has been months of beating each other on a personal level, this will be the first time that Ripley and Morgan officially face each other head-to-head.

But while we now know that the Eradicator will finally get her hands on Liv Morgan, she might’ve also revealed her next opponent. At least, once she is done with her Rhea Ripley Revenge Tour. Recently on Twitter, a user by the name @grs_mayane uploaded a video edit of Rhea Ripley. It shows her getting betrayed by Nikki Cross and Liv Morgan. Two superstars whom she once considered friends.

Now that we know Morgan is a heel against Mami and will have their match at SummerSlam, Ripley has yet to get her revenge on Nikki Cross. Since Ripley has re-tweeted the video on her X account, it is possible it’s her way of letting her fans know that she is aiming for Cross next. However, it won’t be easy as we now know that Cross is a member of the Wyatt Sicks.

The caption of the video does sound true, that “Villains aren’t born. They’re made.” and that “Rhea isn’t a villain, she’s simply protecting herself.” But now Ripley has finally turned face, something that fans had been longing for as Ripley is one of those superstars who got over the crowd and got their ultimate support despite being a heel. Imagine what she could do with a babyface turn. But it seems like her match against Morgan would end up with a loss with possibly Dominik Mysterio turning his back on her. But who could replace Mysterio once he leaves Ripley’s side? Because while the WWE planned for maybe creating an angle with Jey Uso, it seems like his father Rikishi disapproves of this idea.

Rikishi believes WWE is trying to break up Jey Uso’s marriage

What’s your perspective on:

Is Rhea Ripley the most dominant force in WWE today, or is she overrated?

Have an interesting take?

Jey Uso has always remained very interested in Rhea Ripley. He has shown it every time he has been able to on RAW. This has led to speculation that Uso will play a relevant role in this story in the coming days. Rikishi, his father in real life, is not happy about this at all and has shown it in Rikishi Off The Top, going so far as to say that he considers that WWE wants to bring his son together with Rhea Ripley to try to break Uso’s marriage in real life. The Hall of Famer also showed his displeasure with the lack of stories for his son.

He said, “I have hair on the back of my neck (standing up) every time I watch him. SummerSlam, where is he? ‘I don’t know, let’s write him in; he likes Mami.’ That’s the best the writer’s got? ‘Let’s write him into a relationship with Mami’ What y’all trying to do, break his marriage up? You can’t put him into a good storyline, so what you gonna do now? God forbid you guys try to tell them to tongue-kiss each other on WWE Raw. S**t that better not happen.”

The rest of the members of The Judgment Day, whether they like it or not, also have something to do with the story of Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio. Since Morgan has fully intruded the group by relating to some of them such as Finn Balor. Balor and JD McDonagh lost to Jey Uso and Sami Zayn in the main event of the previous edition of RAW. So Uso seems not too far from Rhea Ripley and company in the coming weeks. What do you think? Will the WWE pair up Ripley with Uso? Let us know in the comments.
