Match With Rhea Ripley Intrigues WWE Hall Of Famer
A WWE Hall of Famer has “Mami” Rhea Ripley on her mind.
Rhea Ripley has become one of the top women superstars in WWE this decade. After a successful run in NXT, Ripley has thrived on the main roster with memorable matches against many top women in the company, like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Liv Morgan, to name a few.
At WrestleMania 41, Rhea Ripley came up short in her attempt to win the Women’s World Title. However, it was still one of the best women’s matches of all time, as Iyo Sky defeated Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair in a match that will be remembered forever.
Since WrestleMania, Ripley has been in a bit of a funk since she didn’t win the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase, and she failed to advance in the Women’s Queen of the Ring tournament this past Monday on Raw since Roxanne Perez won the four-way match that Ripley was in.
Even though Ripley may not be winning every match she has, she is still somebody that many people want to face in a WWE ring, including WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
Nikki Bella Wants To Be A Heel Against Rhea Ripley
After making her return to the ring on Monday’s Raw in Phoenix, Nikki Bella was confronted by Liv Morgan, who threatened Nikki and dropped her with the Oblivion. It will likely lead to Nikki’s sister, Brie Bella, returning to WWE, allowing the Bella Twins to face off against Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, the current Women’s Tag Team Champions.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Nikki Bella mentioned the rivalry with Liv Morgan, but also made a point to say that she wants to face Ripley, and Nikki wants to be the heel in that scenario.
“I think one for the future, when Liv came out like a fireball last night, I was like, ‘Oh shit. Okay.’ We’ve only got to see each other a little bit before Evolution, so I’m excited for that.
I think one day it would be incredible to work Rhea Ripley, and I’ve been saying this for the past four or five years. I would really love to do something with her, but I don’t want to be a good girl when I do it.”
Nikki Bella and Rhea Ripley will likely both be part of the WWE Evolution all-women’s PLE on July 13th, but they may not be in the same match since the Bella Twins could be going after tag team gold on that night.
