WWE Survivor Series 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
10. Fans Snooze Through Rhea Ripley’s Match
Rhea Ripley has defended the Women's World Title exactly five times on TV/PLE since winning the then-SmackDown belt at WrestleMania 39. Since then, WWE has presented Rhea as a power player for Judgment Day. She's 'Mami', and she's more likely to pop up in backstage skits and promos than matches.
Saturday will be Ripley's sixth title defence then, and it could be a sleeper hit. Or, it might just be a sleeper. Y'see, here's the problem: Zoey Stark hasn't actually been doing much of anything since splitting from Trish Stratus, and this mini-feud is criminally under-developed leading into the weekend's PLE.
What if fans in Chicago use it as an excuse to go for a leak?
Hopefully not, because these women deserve better, but then they...deserve better than some half-baked, second-rate program that'll end at Survivor Series with a whimper. Fingers crossed Rhea's obvious star power is enough to keep people interested when the bell rings.
