When it comes to female wrestlers in WWE, there is Rhea Ripley, and then there's everyone else.

The “Eradicator” of the Judgment Day with 34 straight singles victories in 2023 alone, Ripley doesn't just defeat opponents in the ring; she dominates them with wicked efficiency, with the vast majority of those defenses coming in under 10 minutes.

And yet, despite her incredible in-ring success and desire to remain champion for a very long time, that doesn't mean Ripley is looking to take the easy way out and only take on easy matches on Premium Live Events. No, as she noted in an interview with India Today ahead of Superstar Spectacle, Ripley expects a huge challenge in the forthcoming months from none other than “The Man” Becky Lynch, whom she believes would be a very good foe for WrestleMania 40.

“I expect a huge challenge from ‘The Man,' Becky. She has definitely made her a name for herself in this company. She's accomplished so much. She's going down in history, as one of the best,” Rhea Ripley said via Fightful. “And she will 110 percent be in the Hall of Fame one day. She really has made her own legacy. But like Becky, like Charlotte, like Sasha, like Bayley, like the Four horsewomen, they've all made a name for themselves. But at the end of the day, when you step in the ring with Mami, it's a whole different sort of challenge. And if it were to be myself and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40, you know, I invite that challenge. Like you said, we went one on one in NXT. And it there was no clear winner because it was a DQ because Shayna, Jessamyn, and Marina just had to come down and ruin that for me when I was on the stride of my life.”

On paper, it's hard to argue with Ripley's case, as her match with Lynch in NXT did come to an end via DQ, and she has yet been allowed to right that wrong in singles action, as thus far, all of their shared in-ring moments together have come in multi-person matches, be that WarGames, the Royal Rumble, or a traditional match. After beating Charlotte Flair, Lynch's greatest rival, at WrestleMania 39, it looks like Ripley has a hankering to pick off the horsewomen one by one, which would be very good for the entire WWE Universe for more reasons than one.

After dethroning Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley isn't afraid of Becky Lynch.

Speaking of Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley touched on her in her conversation with India Today, too, and explained that, after a dominant effort against “The Queen” at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, no one, not even “The Man” should have any right to look at her as anything but a main event star.

“So, I would like to see what the outcome would be. I would love to step in the ring with (Becky Lynch). I think it would be a great challenge,” Ripley added. “But at the same time, I feel like she doesn't exactly know what Mami is capable of. And like what happened at WrestleMania 39, Charlotte underestimated me. She thought I was still the child that she wrestled at WrestleMania 36. I'm not. I'm a completely different animal. I'm a monster these days. I'm a nightmare. I'm an ‘Eradicator.' And it's me and Becky. I'm just saying Mami is gonna end up on top, just like she always does. I mean, I've got quite a collection going. Uh, I think that if we had Becky to the list, I think everyone would be quite happy with that.”

As with Lynch, Ripley first met with Flair when she was a member of NXT, when Paul “Triple H” Levesque's crew down in developmental declared war on RAW and SmackDown. Though that initial feud didn't go particularly well, as it resulted in Ripley losing her NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36, it still provided some valuable reps for a then-22-year-old Superstar who had future main eventer written all over her.

With Ripley now firmly in her professional wrestling prime, and her wrestling prowess an accepted fact among fans, pundits, and Superstars alike, maybe it's time – well, April 2024 will be time – for Levesque to put all of his cards in Mami's basket and give her the two-biggest back-to-back women's wins in WrestleMania history, even if it means delivering Lynch yet another singles loss on a huge show, which has become a bit of a trend as of late. If the Judgment Day is the new Bloodline, then a win over Lynch would make Ripley the faction's Roman.
