Eek!

Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley finds herself in that awkward spot between January's show and WrestleMania this April. She doesn't have much to do until wrestling Charlotte Flair, and can't even get things rolling on that front until after Chamber. So, Ripley is working a mixed tag and pinning Beth Phoenix.

Right? Right?! Surely WWE wouldn't be stupid enough to cut Rhea off at the knees heading into the biggest weekend of the entire year. It'd be an outright disaster if the Judgment Day "Mami" stared at the lights for Beth. In fact, it'd be a nightmare if she and Finn Bálor lost at all.

Both are more important than their opponents right now. Edge and Beth can stomach a defeat and still maintain face with the fans, but the same just cannot be said for Judgment Day. Nah, Rhea should win and win strongly. She really has to, otherwise WWE will feel the sting come that match with Flair.
