After being one of the best performers in the company last year with Judgement Day, Rhea Ripley finally got her due when she won the women’s Royal Rumble match. It was a historic moment as she became the first woman to win the rumble from the #1 spot. Not only that, but she and Liv Morgan also tied for the longest time a woman spent in a Royal Rumble match.

Ripley broke many records and won many hearts, but fans were wondering why she had blood all over her face. The 26-year-old looked visibly injured as she walked with a limp after a fierce spear from Beth Phoenix earlier in the show.

Her performance in the rumble was absolutely amazing.

 

Everyone saw Ripley limping and struggling during the middle part, but she still pulled out a win at the end.

Fans nominated Ripley for taking over the popular nickname of Brock Lesnar.

Now that she has won the Royal Rumble, the biggest question is who will she face at WrestleMania? Despite being from Raw, Ripley has the option to challenge the SmackDown Champion as well. Fighting Charlotte Flair would be amazing, as she would be able to take her revenge against the blue brand’s champion.

Also, if she goes to SmackDown, Dominik Mysterio will come behind her and could come face-to-face with his father as well. This could set up two big matches for WrestleMania. But even if she goes for Bianca Belair, that would be an amazing match as Belair only puts out bangers at WrestleMania.
