Last year's runner up feels substantially further away from the WrestleMania main event this time around, though she was selected to dethrone Asuka at the 'Show Of Shows' in 2021 anyway so maybe the recently released Road Dogg was right all along and wins and losses don't matter.

It's a good thing for Ripley this time around - any interactions with Nikki A.S.H are sure to replace WrestleMania title aspirations this year.
