10 Things WWE Raw: Day 1 Told Us About WrestleMania XL Season
7. Rhea Ripley Needs Something Big
...Rhea better be doing something special come 'Mania time.
Her match vs. Ivy Nile on Raw: Day 1 wasn’t bad by any means, but there was never any threat to Ripley's title. That’s been a recurring problem throughout the Judgment Day star's entire reign, which is presumably why she didn’t do too much wrestling in 2023. It's important that WWE finds something big time for her soon.
As aforementioned, Becky Lynch sounds fun, but there are other options. Maybe Jade Cargill would be a neat power vs. power match for Rhea if Triple H thinks she’s ready for such a lofty spot. Philly might well come too soon for the ex-AEW wrecking machine, to be fair.
Becky, Cargill or someone else - it's fair to say that Ripley needs to shine on WWE's grandest stage in 2024. Her work with Judgment Day has been killer, but this title reign has lacked truly memorable defences. High time Triple H changed that.
