Rhea Ripley calls out Charlotte
On Monday Night Raw (1/30/2023) Rhea Ripley made her choice. Ripley, who won the Royal Rumble, has an option to choose her opponent to main event WrestleMania 39. She explained her last encounter at WrestleMania 36 when Charlotte Flair won the Royal Rumble and defeated Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship. This time, Ripley is advising Charlotte "to enjoy people bowing down to her for now as they'll soon be rising for her."
Ripley could had chosen Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair. She won a fatal four-way number one contender's match back in June 6, 2022. However, she was not cleared to compete and was out for four months.
For WrestleMania 39, it will be Charlotte Flair, the Smackdown Women's Champion, versus Rhea Ripley.
