The winner of the 2023 Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley, had an important decision to make on the Jan. 30 episode of Raw. Who was she going to face at WrestleMania 39? The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair or the SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.
Ripley took to the ring to make her decision. She cited her past history between herself and Flair. She recalls their match from WrestleMania 36 where after Flair’s Rumble win she challenged and defeated Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship. Now, Ripley wants Flair on her terms.
In her promo, she tells Flair to enjoy everyone bowing down to her as The Queen, because they are about to rise to Rhea Ripley. She intends on putting Flair in her place at WrestleMania and capturing the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
WrestleMania 39 takes place over two nights – April 1 & April 2. The placement of this match has not been decided at the time of this writing.
