The upcoming episode of the season premiere of Monday Night RAW is just hours away. Among the impressive line-up of matches, the most anticipated bout is a non-title match between Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler. The two are among the most dominant women in the division.

While Baszler wants to end the reign of terror by Ripley, the Women’s World Champion looks to score another victory. However, what could be the outcome for the match?

Ripley wins clean or with the help of Dominik Mysterio

When it comes to sheer strength, Baszler and Ripley are equally matched. The match will be interesting to see which force of nature comes out on top. Having said that, Dirty Dom playing a part in Ripley’s win is not off the table. Dom has helped Ripley win matches and retain her title on multiple occasions.

Baszler picks up the victory clean

The Queen of Spades is not that far behind when it comes to dominating opponents in the ring. Her MMA background and last feud with Ronda Rousey are proof of that. There is a good possibility that Baszler could make Ripley tap out for the win. This will secure her the spot as the #1 contender for the Women’s World Champion title at Crown Jewel.

Nia Jax or Raquel Rodrigues interferes

Another possible outcome is Nia Jax or Raquel Rodriguez interfering in the match. Since returning to the WWE last month, Jax has been on the warpath, decimating the women’s division. Despite Rodriguez being a victim of Jax’s destruction, she has unfinished business with Ripley.

This match could end in either party winning or an outside interference. There is also the possibility that the outside interference could lead to a fatal four-way at Crown Jewel for the Women’s World Championship title. The likelihood of external factors playing a part seems likely with all four women having issues with one another.

All four women have unfinished business with each other

Here is a quick recap of the history of Baszler and Ripley: it was Ripley who won the NXT Women’s title from Baszler in December 2019. Since then, Baszler has wanted to get her hands on the Judgment Day member for retribution. Ripley faced off and won against Rodriguez at Payback 2023. This came after the Women’s Champion put Rodriguez on the bench following a surprise attack backstage.

Jax has been on the radar of all the women after decimating the entire division upon her return to RAW. This makes for an interesting match, with all participants having history and bad blood with each other.
