As mentioned earlier, Rhea Ripley has had a huge impact on Dominik Myserio's career. But let's not gloss over the unbelievable year she has had.

The only reason Ripley joined the now wildly popular Judgment Day was because she was flailing, having turned heel on Liv Morgan after a nothing tag team storyline. Any momentum she had upon promotion to the main roster was undermined by Charlotte Flair and for a while, the current Women's World Champion seemed destined to be lost in the shuffle.

But positioning her as the de-facto leader of the group, along with her shenanigans alongside 'Dirty Dom' unlocked some serious character within her, and the 'Eradicator' has blossomed into one of the must see stars not only in the Women's Division, but the entire company.

For too long now, the WWE needed to move on from the Horsewomen. They did some stellar work with Bianca Belair, but it looks like now, in Ripley, they may have finally landed on a figurehead for the division. Considering how young she is, she could well dominate WWE for another decade and right now, that seems like one of the smartest decisions the company could make.
