Rhea Ripley is one of the fastest rising talents in WWE. At only age 24, Ripley has competed at two WrestleMania’s, and has won championships on every brand she’s been on. In fact, the ‘Nightmare’ currently holds the Raw Women’s Championship. However, there’s one blemish on her accolades. She couldn’t prove to be the Most Dominant Woman on NXT UK. Guess who proved to be? Piper Niven [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-everything-you-need-to-know-about-piper-niven-eva-maries-partner/], WWE Raw’s latest addition. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Rhea-RIpley-Piper-Niven-n.jpg] RHEA RIPLEY HOPEFUL OF FIGHTING PIPER NIVEN ON RAW During a Virtual Meet and Greet with Rhea Ripley, I asked Rhea Ripley if the WWE Universe could see reignition of her rivalry with Piper Niven on Monday Night Raw.

Rhea Ripley and Piper Niven had a fantastic rivalry to decide who is the most dominant woman in NXT UK. Both women delivered absolute classics the two times they wrestled. But the entire build was a thing of beauty. The best part was Ripley and Niven complimented each other really well and their chemistry truly showed. Piper Niven won the deciding contest between the two, proving to be the most dominant woman in NXT UK. But the ‘Nightmare [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rhea-ripley/]‘ leveled up in another classic contest. Since then, Ripley moved on to NXT and is now on Raw. Whereas Niven continued to cement herself as a top star in NXT UK. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Rhea-Ripley-Piper-Niven-NXT-UK-Raw.jpg] For those unaware with what Piper Niven brings to the table, her rivalries with Rhea Ripley and Kay Lee Ray are a must-watch. We already saw a glimpse of Piper’s dominance on Raw. But, currently she’s Eva Marie’s associate, but it wouldn’t be long before she gets in her element and steps up to Rhea Ripley. As for the Raw [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-raw/] Women’s Champion, her victory against Asuka is enough to prove she’s a tough champion. A huge challenge for Charlotte Flair this Sunday. However, Rhea is most likely to win. But the match will definitely be a cracker.
