Rhea Ripley incited an intense brawl with four powerful women on the October 14th episode of Raw, leading to a fatal 5-way tag team match at Crown Jewel. The women vying for her coveted world title were Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark. Now with November’s PLE knocking at the door, it begs the million-dollar question: could one of them dethrone Rhea Ripley at Crown Jewel’s high-voltage battle? Well, it doesn’t seem to be a far-fetched idea.
There are some ways things could go against Mami at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh. Let’s explore these possibilities.

Rhea Ripley has held her Women’s World Championship ever since she defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. She has been on a roll, picking up wins back-to-back against an array of title contenders in her way. But this time in Crown Jewel, The Eradicator has serious threats looming in from four directions.
While Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley’s staggering chemistry has been a constant draw in the WWE world, the company could be planning to swerve, putting Ripley at a disadvantage. The antics and exchanges between Logan Paul and Dom Dom in recent weeks built the possibility of the duo joining hands. It could also mean Paul influencing Mysterio to turn his back on Mami and the rest of The Judgment Day, which could come as early as Crown Jewel.
If it proves to be the case, it will bring no good to Mami for sure. She could drop the title even without getting pinned. Nia Jax’s eagle-eyed target on all female bigwigs after her shocking return might bring her a much-awaited victory. Especially considering how good she gave it to Ripley on her return.
Raquel Rodriguez could also get her shot right as all the chaos between the five women begins, considering her revenge spree on Rhea Ripley. On the other hand, Shayna Baszler was arguably the most dominant one in NXT. Her current momentum makes her the second-best choice for elevating to a main roster title other than Ripley. So, she might not miss the opportunity to cement her place in the main roster scene as well.
Also, since the game will happen to be a five-way fatal tag team match, it’s very likely for Ripley to get pinned by any of those fierce women. While assessing all the above-mentioned possibilities, let’s take a quick look at Ripley’s win-loss record in the land of Saudi Arabia in the past.
Rhea Ripley’s win-loss record at Saudi Arabia: Explained
The current Women’s World Champion has fought only twice in the Middle Eastern country back to back in 2022 and 2023.
Earlier this year, Ripley stepped into the Saudi Arabian ring for the second time at The Night of Champions and came back clinching the victory against Natalya. She completely destroyed her opponent with wise assistance from her Dom Dom.

However, luck didn’t go with her during the Elimination Chamber PLE in Saudi Arabia last year. The six-women tag team match ended with Bianca Belair getting the upper hand.
Now, we need to wait to see what the Saudi Arabian PLE has in store for Mami.
