3 Reasons Why Rhea Ripley Could Enter the Women’s Royal Rumble Match Despite Being the Top Champion on Raw

Superstars participate in Royal Rumble matches to win an opportunity to challenge an existing champion in the promotion and, thus, win gold. Rhea Ripley is already the World Women’s Champion in WWE. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean she doesn’t have any desire to enter the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble match that is going to take place next month.

Despite holding a prestigious title in the Stamford-based promotion, there are three compelling reasons why she could participate in the 30-women elimination match. Dive deep with us as we explore all three probable reasons.

1. To make a statement

Firstly, entering the Rumble match could be an opportunity for Ripley to prove herself as a formidable competitor by facing off against other top wrestlers from other brands. She has conquered every women wrestler on the Raw roster.

Therefore, she may now want to scrap with some of the wrestlers in the SmackDown division. Participating in the Rumble could give her a chance to showcase her skills and generate more attention for herself and the Raw brand.

2. To unify the Women’s World Championship and WWE Women’s Championship

Despite being a champion, Ripley may also have her eyes set on another prestigious title in the women’s division. Iyo Sky is the reigning WWE Women’s Champion on the blue brand. Therefore, ‘Mami’ may want to participate in the Rumble to win it and challenge the WWE Women’s Champion in hopes of unifying the titles. This would increase her reputation in the promotion.

3. To pull a Brock Lesnar-esque move

In 2020, Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble despite being the WWE Champion. He entered at number one and stayed till the end of the match to grab an epic victory. The purpose of his entrance was to add another championship to his resum.

‘The Eradicator’ could pull the same Lesnar move and enter the Royal Rumble to claim the title Finn Balor and Damian Priest couldn’t win. This would solidify her status as leader of the Judgement Day. She has successfully defeated everyone on the Raw women’s roster to defend her Women’s World Championship ever since she claimed the title at WrestleMania 39.
