Rhea Ripley, reigning WWE Women’s World Champion, has enjoyed an impressive run since dethroning Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39.
Despite her dominance, retired wrestler Matt Morgan believes that her historic title reign will eventually come to an end at the hands of a former AEW star.
During the Gigantic Pop podcast, Morgan expressed his choice for the future Women’s World Champion, naming Jade Cargill as the one to dethrone Ripley. Emphasizing the need for ample build-up and time for the storyline, Morgan suggested that Cargill could be the formidable force to bring an end to Ripley’s reign.
The looming threat to Ripley’s championship is Nia Jax, and the two powerhouse women are set to clash at the upcoming Elimination Chamber in Australia, Jax’s home country.

Bill Apter, a Hall of Fame journalist, shared his prediction on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine, foreseeing Jax defeating Ripley and becoming the new WWE Women’s World Champion.
Apter speculated that this shift would turn Ripley into a fan-favorite heel, setting the stage for a WrestleMania rematch where Ripley could attempt to reclaim the title.
The recent chaotic brawl between Ripley and Jax on Monday Night RAW intensified the anticipation for their showdown at Elimination Chamber.
With the unpredictability of WWE storylines, fans are left wondering whether Jax will indeed emerge victorious and bring an end to Ripley’s championship reign. The outcome of Elimination Chamber could set the stage for compelling developments leading into WrestleMania 40.
