Reigning Women's World Champion and Judgment Day member Rhea Ripley dreams of stepping into the ring for a match vs. CM Punk someday. In fact, that fantasy intergender bout is near the top of Rhea's own personal wishlist, and it has been since she was a teenager.

Ripley told the BWGS Podcast that Triple H, The Miz and Punk were her main heroes growing up as a young wrestling fan. The latter's return to WWE late-last year sparked Rhea's interest, because she started thinking about a dream-like one-on-one all over again.

It's almost-certainly never going to happen, of course, but that won't stop Ripley from thinking about what it'd be like to wrestle one of her favourites.

Ripley did note that she wouldn't actually have to work a match with Punk to be involved in a storyline with him. For example, one of her cohorts in Judgment Day could do the physical bit - Rhea would just get a kick out of warring on the mic with Punk, or maybe hitting him with her Riptide during an angle.

So, a match is unlikely, but some sort of interaction absolutely isn't.
