...Rhea can still make an impact.

She has emerged as the most impressive member of Judgment Day, and it's clear WWE wants to make Ripley's performances feel special every time she's in town. The fact she hasn't been put into another throwaway one-off title defence situation is encouraging - there's nobody to challenge her until after MITB.

So, instead, Rhea will be ringside for her Dom Dom's battle with Cody. At some point, it'd be really cool if Mysterio pulled the referee away and Ripley got to hit some power moves on the outside. That'd put her over as a real threat to everybody (regardless of gender) on the Raw roster.

Nobody's saying this needs to lead to Ripley vs. Rhodes at SummerSlam, or anything, but it's harmless to have Cody take a few lumps from Rhea at Money In The Bank. That's especially true considering Rhodes is winning the match vs. Mysterio and marching on.
