Rhea Ripley has addressed potentially challenging for WWE titles in the men’s division in the future.
The Women’s World Champion is gearing up for perhaps her steepest test of her title reign, yet as she defends her title against Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber.
Despite that steep challenge and a potential WrestleMania 40 showdown with Becky Lynch ahead, some fans feel that The Eradicator’s dominance should not be confined to her own women’s division.
Speaking to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Ripley was asked about the prospect of challenging for championship gold in the men’s division in the future – to which Ripley answered confidently:
“Oh, 100%. I’m always down for a challenge. I love a good challenge.
“So if that opportunity were to arise, I would 110% be down.”
Ripley has thrown around male stars in the past, even defeating Akira Tozawa in a mixed gender contest in December 2022, but it remains to be seen whether WWE will turn Ripley’s wish into a reality in the future.
The Judgment Day are set for a busy night in Ripley’s home country of Australia on February 24, as along with Mami’s match with Jax, Undisputed Tag Team Champions Damian Priest and Finn Balor defend their titles against Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne.
Then finally, if ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio can make it through Kevin Owens on SmackDown (February 16), he will earn a spot inside the Elimination Chamber match to determine Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship opponent at WrestleMania 40.
