Well holy sh*t, this would be cool!

San Antonio would be all high-fives and smiles if Rhea entered the "men's" Rumble later in the night after already winning the first one on the card. She'd qualify as a neat surprise addition for the main event, especially if she was then eliminated by someone like Rey Mysterio.

That'd keep the simmering tension between Rey and his son Dominik purring along (WWE hasn't reached for the blowoff button on that quite yet, but probably will come WrestleMania), because then Dom would be out for revenge for "Mami". This is the sort of spot that writes itself, people.

Women like Chyna, Beth Phoenix and Kharma have turned heads in the past by entering what is traditionally a 30-man match. Add Rhea Ripley to that list and she'd be a made woman. If anyone can pull double duty on Saturday night, it's the Judgment Day game-changer herself.
