After a win at Crown Jewel, who is next for Rhea Ripley?

The match kept going due to the break on Shayna Baszler’s submission but it gave more opportunity to Ripley. Eventually, she pulled off a victory after delivering a Riptide to Zoey Stark on the body of Shayna Baszler. She went to pin Baszler to retain her title.

The question lies, who will face Ripley now? She has slayed down four strong superstars from RAW at Crown Jewel while she has already feuded against Raquel Rodriguez multiple times. One probable option is Becky Lynch who is free from her NXT duties. Another option could be former AEW superstar Jade Cargill.
