There is no doubt that Rhea Ripley is one of the top female Superstars in the company. She made a name for herself in NXT before being called up to the main roster, being a former NXT Women’s Champion. She was the RAW Women’s Champion last year and is still one of the mainstays of the main roster.
Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. were rivals as both competed for the RAW Women’s Championship for several months last year. They eventually put their differences aside and became a tag team and even became the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at one time.
However, their team would break up on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW as Nikki A.S.H. turned heel on Rhea Ripley. This came as a shock to many fans as well.
While speaking with Busted Open Radio, Renee Paquette talked about Rhea Ripley’s current status on Monday Night RAW. Paquette stated that she couldn’t believe someone like Rhea Ripley could fall between the cracks and get lost in the shuffle.
Can you believe that’s the thing though, can you believe that’s a thing for Rhea Ripley. I can’t believe it. She’s incredible, she’s just like this perfect package that is ready to go. She’s young but she’s so adaptive, I think she’s incredible. I can’t believe that she’s somebody that could have for a second fallen between the cracks.”
Booker T also believes that Rhea Ripley will be a huge draw like Hulk Hogan. We will have to wait and see how WWE will book Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H’s feud in the coming weeks.
