5. The Solution To The Rhea Problem

Welcome back to WWE, Mia Yim.

Yim became the latest released superstar to return to WWE, surprising everyone as the OC’s self-described solution to their Rhea Ripley problem. AJ Styles and the Good Brothers confronted the Judgment Day on Raw and noted that they’re always outnumbered 4-3, which cost them at Crown Jewel.

Styles said they had looked for someone to balance the scales but couldn’t find anyone. However, Yim found them. She appeared offscreen and laid Ripley out with a kendo stick, triggering a massive brawl that saw Judgment Day fleeing for the first time, including Dominik Mysterio attempting a hurricanrana on Syles, only to have it turned into a Styles Clash.

Yim adds more depth to the women’s roster, which WWE has indicated they would like, and as a bonus, she immediately is inserted into a storyline and has a purpose. It’s really the best-case scenario for her, rather than coming in directionless and disappearing after a few weeks.
