If Nia Jax has anything to say about it, the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will not be making it to WrestleMania. This should make Bayley’s WrestleMania choice even easier.
On the Raw after Royal Rumble, the rumble winner Bayley joined the rest of Damage CTRL in the ring. When it seemed like she was going to confirm who she was going to pick for Mania, Rhea Ripley’s music hit. Ripley made her way out and said that the only reason that Bayley beat her time in the rumble is because she wasn’t in it herself. Ripley then stated that she sees the rest of Damage CTRL has gold and it will stay that way even after Mania. Jax then attacked Ripley from behind.
As Jax and Ripley enter the ring, Damage CTRL backs into the corner to watch. Jax delievered three leg drops before the annihilator took out the champion. As the rest of Damage CTRL drop out of the ring leaving Bayley by herself, Jax warns Bayley that she can pick IYO SKY or anyone else but Ripley won’t be making it to Mania.
Bayley states she will make her choice on SmackDown.
