Before her match, while walking backstage, Ripley ran into none other than The Man, Becky Lynch. The two did not exchange words but just stared each other down. The Man just finished talking with Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae and offered Hartwell a title shot.

Even though the WWE did not officially announce who will face Ripley at WrestleMania 40, fans speculate it could be Lynch. The two have had differences in the past on NXT, even facing off on November 20, 2019.
