Rhea Ripley Makes Bold Prediction About WWE WrestleMania 42 Match
Rhea Ripley is not lacking confidence going into WrestleMania 42.
The Women’s Elimination Chamber Match at WWE’s Elimination Chamber PLE was a star-studded matchup that Rhea Ripley won to earn a WWE Women’s Title match at WrestleMania 42.
By winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, Ripley will challenge SmackDown’s Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Title.
There has been a lot of speculation about there being real backstage heat between Ripley and Cargill, but it appears that the champion and former champion are willing to work together, as they showed on SmackDown this past Friday.
During their promo segment on SmackDown, Ripley and Cargill praised eachother for how they look and how they are in incredible shape. However, Ripley made it clear that while Cargill takes care of her body to look good, Ripley does so so she can fight and keep fighting.
Rhea Ripley: “I’m Going To Beat Her A**”
When Rhea Ripley spoke to Nina Drama in her latest Kick stream, the former 3-time WWE Women’s Champion Ripley didn’t hold back when talking about what she’s going to do to Cargill at WrestleMania 42.
“I’m going to beat her a**. I’m going to beat her a** so bad that she’s not going to want to come back, actually. She’s not going to want it, and that’s just how it’s going to be.” (H/T Fightful)
