10 Roster Trades WWE MUST Make In 2021

10. Rhea Ripley To Raw

What does Rhea Ripley have left to do in NXT? She did really great work in 2020, embarking on a solid defence of her NXT Women's Championship against Bianca Belair, dropping the belt in a controversial yet excellent match with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, putting on a masterful steel cage match with Mercedes Martinez, and having an unflinchingly brutal championship match against Io Shirai on television.

Now, 'The Nightmare' is out of things to do.

Ripley is clearly an immensely talented wrestler that's over, as the reaction to her from Full Sail lead to her victory over Shayna Baszler in 2019, but she's not the main future of the brand's championship. Io Shirai is the ace and Ripley is a potential top star relegated to second place. Right now, she belongs on the main roster where she can win another women's championship to add to her collection.

Raw would pair her with Charlotte Flair who she has unfinished business and natural chemistry with, it would also give her an opportunity against Asuka which would be a guaranteed match of the night and would further elevate her stock if booked correctly. She belongs on Raw now.
