42-year-old superstar must return on WWE RAW to reignite rivalry with Rhea Ripley

WWE must bring back a 42-year-old superstar to reignite her rivalry with Rhea Ripley on RAW.

Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. She was later presented with the new Women's World Championship by WWE official Adam Pearce and has had a successful title reign thus far.

The Judgment Day member defeated Zelina Vega at WWE Backlash in Puerto Rico and then vanquished Natalya at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia in a match that lasted under two minutes. The Eradicator is set to put the title on the line again tonight against Natalya in a rematch.

Ahead of tonight's RAW, Beth Phoenix took to Twitter to congratulate Natalya on winning six Guinness World Record certificates. The Glamazon was recently involved in a bitter rivalry with Rhea Ripley that began at Extreme Rules 2022. Finn Balor defeated Edge in an I Quit match, but how he won the bout was despicable.

Rhea Ripley threatened to bash Beth Phoenix over the head with a steel chair unless The Rated-R Superstar said, "I quit." Edge obliged, but Ripley hit Phoenix with the Con-Chair-To anyway. Edge and Beth got revenge at Elimination Chamber 2023 by defeating Ripley and Balor in a mixed tag team match.

However, Beth could still resent the Women's World Champion and may decide to confront Ripley on RAW. Tonight's show will be in Baltimore, Maryland, but next week's edition of the red brand will be airing live from Beth's home state of New York.
