Rhea Ripley, known for her numerous intergender matches in WWE, has become a sought-after contender for many wrestlers, including Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Recently, in an interview with GQSports, Ripley revealed that while she dreams of facing Dominik Mysterio again in an intergender match, she also has her sights set on Randy Orton. She explained her interest in this matchup, highlighting the curiosity among fans.
“Obviously I would love to put belts to asses against Dominik Mysterio again, but if not him then I will let everyone live out their wildest dreams and I would love to face Randy Orton. Because everyone wants to see me get RKO’d for some reason and it didn’t happen before so, maybe we can live that out in the game.” She noted.
Current Focus on Women’s Tag Team Championship and WrestleMania Goals
At present, Ripley is one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Iyo Sky. Together, they have defended their titles successfully multiple times, though the Road to WrestleMania could require them to defend again soon. Ripley has already qualified for the upcoming Elimination Chamber event scheduled for February 28th in Chicago, aiming for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 42 in April.
While Ripley targets singles success, it remains unclear if Iyo Sky will compete in the Elimination Chamber qualifiers on RAW, adding intrigue to their tag team dynamics. There are still two RAW episodes left before the event, which could determine if the champions might eventually face each other on the path to WrestleMania.
Potential Impact of Ripley’s Ambitions on WWE Storylines
Rhea Ripley’s expressed desire for an intergender match with Randy Orton could generate significant buzz within WWE, as fans have eagerly awaited this encounter for some time. Meanwhile, her progression toward a singles title match at WrestleMania ensures she remains a key figure in WWE’s upcoming major events.
Her positioning as Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Iyo Sky adds complexity to her ambitions, as balancing team responsibilities and individual goals will influence future storylines. The outcomes of the Elimination Chamber qualifiers and subsequent matches will likely shape Ripley’s next moves in WWE, potentially leading to landmark intergender bouts or championship opportunities.
