Toward the end of 2019, Rhea Ripley was the biggest thing in women’s wrestling. Not only did she win the first-ever women’s WarGames match, but win Survivor Series and capture the NXT Women’s Championship.
But Ripley’s NXT run is over. WWE made sure of the in the run-up to and eventual loss to Charlotte at WrestleMania.
Ripley has been involved in the NXT women’s championship since returning but has been unable to recapture the momentum she had at the end of 2019.
What better way to reignite ‘the Nightmare’ and boost the SmackDown women’s division than turning up on the show to take on Bayley?
