There’s a collective hush amongst the WWE faithful. While WWE Raw on Netflix has been a vibrant spectacle, last week’s main event left many scratching their heads. Rhea Ripley—our reigning wrestling deity—isn’t the champion. Iyo Sky is. And while we adore Iyo, who walks among us as a fellow fan favourite, Rhea Ripley, at just 27 years old, levitates above the fray like a colossus of the squared circle. So, what does this wonderwork of wrestling do at WWE WrestleMania 41? Let’s dive into the possibilities with the fervour of a Leeds United comeback and the precision of a Yokohama F. Marinos set-piece (if only they could score one or find their form).
Add Rhea Ripley to the Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair Match
The most logical move is to insert Rhea Ripley into the Women’s World Championship match. After dropping the belt on WWE Raw Netflix, the default bout became Iyo Sky defending against Bianca Belair, who triumphed in the Elimination Chamber. Ripley, with her re-match clause, is a credible addition. A triple-threat match? Logical. Satisfying? Absolutely. But since when has WWE operated on logic alone?
Without Ripley, the match feels like a hobbled-together face-versus-face encounter, lacking the momentum only a tweener like Rhea can provide. Her presence would elevate the bout, adding a combustible element that could ignite the WrestleMania 41 stage. Imagine the chaos if Jade Cargill, Naomi, or Dakota Kai were thrown into the mix. It’d be WrestleMania 2000 levels of anarchy—and we’d love every second.
Conclude the Rivalry with Liv Morgan
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan’s rivalry was a masterclass in storytelling—until it wasn’t. Ripley claimed the world title on the first-ever WWE Raw Netflix episode, and then… silence. Strange, isn’t it? Yet, a few cryptic tweets suggest this narrative still has legs. With The Judgment Day stable looking less cohesive by the day, WrestleMania 41 could be the perfect stage to wrap this feud.
Picture this: Rhea delivers a thunderous Riptide to Liv, ending the rivalry in spectacular fashion. Or, in a twist, she could put Liv over, taking her under her oxter and elevating her to new heights. Alternatively, a tag team match could see Ripley pulling a Braun Strowman, refusing to name her partner against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Who would she choose? Bayley, perhaps, who’s hotter than a Leeds United promotion push right now? Or maybe a fan plucked from the crowd? The possibilities are endless.
Spruce Up Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair
Let’s be honest: the current WWE Women’s Championship match between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair feels as flat as Yokohama F. Marinos’ recent form. No disrespect to Tiffy—she’s a wonderwork in her own right, with a girly-girl charm Charlotte could never replicate. But the move-set similarities between the two are glaring. Enter Rhea Ripley.
Adding Ripley to this match would inject a new hair colour, fresh energy, and acrobatic dynamism. Neither Tiffany nor Charlotte suffers from acrophobia—both love a good moonsault—but Rhea’s presence would elevate the bout to new heights, both literally and figuratively. It’s the spark this match desperately needs.
Give Chelsea Green a WrestleMania Moment
Chelsea Green is one of the most underrated workers on the WWE roster. As the Women’s US Champion, she embodies the glamorous, over-the-top persona to perfection. She’s infuriatingly good, selling every move with vigour and flair. But could there be a better clash of styles than Chelsea Green facing Rhea Ripley?
This match would not only elevate Green’s status but also validate the US Women’s Title. It would be a wonderwork of storytelling and in-ring psychology. It’s a WrestleMania 41 moment waiting to happen.
