A 34-year-old WWE Superstar has recently reacted to Bayley's claim about dethroning Rhea Ripley at the 2024 Royal Rumble. That star would be Mia Yim.
It has been recently rumored that The Role Model might be the one to dethrone the current Women's World Champion at the 2024 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Rhea Ripley has defended her title against the likes of Raquel Rodriguez, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Zoey Stark, Ivy Nile, and many more in the near past, making her one of the strongest competitors in the industry to hold the title for this long.
Taking to his Instagram story, WWE's The Bump's Matt Camp recently shared a video clip where The O.C. member Mia Yim is seen reacting to The Role Model's claim about dethroning The Eradicator. In the same video, Yim was seen nodding her head in denial, hinting at her support towards Ripley at the 2024 Royal Rumble.

Bill Apter heaped praise on WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently heaped praise on WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley.
While speaking in an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted podcast, Apter mentioned that although he was not sure if Ripley was an overall in-ring performer, watching her against Charlotte Flair looked amazing.
The veteran journalist went on to praise the duo of the Queen and The Eradicator, and he also asserted how the latter has changed WWE's Women's division in so many ways.
"Absolutely amazing. I don't think Rhea was the best overall in-ring performer. I still look to Charlotte Flair on that very high pedestal of an in-ring performer. But both of them, their ring presence is amazing, but I think that Rhea has really stood out this year, and changed a lot in the whole division of the way attitudes go in the ladies division," Bill Apter said.
It would be interesting to see what plans the Stamford-based company has going forward for Rhea Ripley.
