With WrestleMania 41 six months away from now, fans have already begun fantasy booking matches for the show. And it goes without saying that Rhea Ripley has a guaranteed spot on the majority of these cards. Recently, Ripley herself revealed who she’d like to face at the Grand Spectacle in Las Vegas. During an appearance at Fanatics Fest, The Eradicator sat down to talk with the UpUpDownDown crew.
Ripley stated that she had noticed the fans’ picks for her opponent at WrestleMania 41. Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Liv Morgan are the names that popped into her mind. However, the former Judgment Day member claimed that she had no interest in extending her feud with Morgan until April 2024. Instead, she prefers facing Belair, whom she has been eyeing as a potential WrestleMania opponent for a long time.
Speaking of her rivalry with Morgan, the duo has gone back-and-forth since April. The 2022 Money in the Bank winner lived up to her promise when she not only won Ripley’s vacated title but also took Dominik Mysterio away from her. Since then, they’ve squared off inside the ring three times on PLEs. However, Ripley has failed in her pursuit to reclaim the Women’s World Title.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people predicting things on X….I have seen Iyo [Sky], I have seen Liv [Morgan], which I don’t really want that to continue but whatever, and then there’s also Bianca [Belair], who’s someone that I’ve wanted to face at WrestleMania for a very long time, so I’m going to have to go with Bianca.

At Bad Blood, the Aussie wrestler’s obsession with getting revenge on Dom cost her the championship. While she laid a vicious beatdown on her former partner, Raquel Rodriguez attacked her from behind and caused a disqualification.
Not many were fans of this finish, as it meant dragging this rivalry further down the line. The general consensus was that WWE had jumped the shark, and there was no benefit in this ending at WrestleMania 41. Judging by her words, it seems that Rhea Ripley feels the same way about the program as well.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, Morgan paid a visit to the blue brand alongside Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio.

While celebrating alongside her crew on the ramp, Ripley’s music hit. The latter made quick work of Rodriguez before heading to the ring to lay a beatdown on Morgan. However, Jax suffered the wrath of Mami’s frustration.
Later, The Irresistible Force ordered Tiffany Stratton to go to Raw on her behalf and send a message to both Ripley and Morgan. Spoilers ahead, Stratton will be teaming up with The Eradicator on tonight’s episode to take on Morgan and Rodriguez.
