The path was promising for Rhea Ripley as she defended her championship against that year’s Royal Rumble winner, Charlotte Flair. The two went on to have an amazing WrestleMania match with ‘The Queen’, capturing the title at the end. While the result divided fans, the following matches between the two invigorated the whole women’s division of NXT.

Eventually, Flair came back to the main roster when Io Shirai beat both Ripley and Flair in a triple threat match main eventing NXT’s first In Your House PPV. This put an end to ‘The Nightmare’s run in NXT as well, as she went on to the main roster to feud with her rival Charlotte Flair, this time for the Raw Women’s Championship.

Moreover, she succeeded at gaining the title, but lost it back to Flair. Then, Flair lost it to Nikki A.S.H. Sadly, this run with the championship did not see the fans cheer for her the same way she won the NXT Championship, But Rhea Ripley turned this reception by allying herself with Nikki and winning the tag championships.

WWE paired the two as a little sister, big sister combo. But this partnership also trickled down when Nikki turned on Ripley. Recently, after pairing up with Liv Morgan and turning on her, Ripley joined Damien Priest and Edge to form ‘The Judgement Day’.
