Rhea Ripley has taken to social media with an intriguing update ahead of tonight’s WWE RAW episode, set to unfold live from the buzzing Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The reigning Women’s World Champion is gearing up for a colossal showdown against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL next month in Philadelphia.
However, with Lynch preoccupied by her upcoming bout against Liv Morgan, Ripley seems to relish the distraction. Last week on the red brand, Ripley couldn’t help but chuckle at Lynch’s predicament, perhaps a subtle sign of her confidence.
In a playful mood, Ripley shared a nostalgic snapshot on her Instagram today, captioned “just a couple of baby faces.” The post offers fans a glimpse into Ripley’s journey, adding a layer of excitement ahead of the impending clash.
Reflecting on her upcoming WrestleMania showdown, Ripley’s confidence remains unwavering.
In an exclusive interview last September, the 27-year-old offered a bold warning to her future opponent, now confirmed as Becky Lynch following her triumph in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match last month.
Ripley’s message was clear: whoever steps into the ring with her at WrestleMania is destined to fall short.
“I’m not sure who’s gonna win it,”
Ripley asserted.
“To be honest, I don’t really care who’s gonna win it because if they make the dumb decision of facing me, they just wasted their WrestleMania title shot. They threw it in the bin because they’re gonna lose. You know why? Mami’s always on top at the end of the day. Mami’s a winner. Mami holds the gold for a reason. If they choose me at WrestleMania, they’re destined to lose. That’s it, I don’t care who it is.”
Rhea Ripley’s journey to the top culminated in a triumphant victory over Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, solidifying her reign as champion.
As she gears up for another high-stakes battle, wrestling fans eagerly await to see if she can overcome yet another formidable challenger, potentially marking another historic chapter in her illustrious career at WrestleMania 40.
