Rhea Ripley Debuts On WWE RAW And Has WrestleMania 37 Challenge Accepted

Former WWE NXT Women's Champion and NXT UK Women's Champion Rhea Ripley has officially arrived on RAW.

Tonight's RAW saw Peyton Royce lose a hard fought non-title match to RAW Women's Champion Asuka. After the match, Ripley came out and mentioned how Charlotte Flair recently challenged Asuka while Asuka was out recovering from a tooth injury. Ripley then said Flair isn't here as she's recovering from COVID-19, as we noted before at this link, so she will be the one to challenge Asuka now.
