Female WWE legend would like to face Rhea Ripley
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley has been at the pinnacle of women's wrestling for the past two years. Numerous wrestlers have expressed a desire to share the ring with Mami. Among them, a four-time Women's Champion, one-time Women's Tag Team Champion, and Hall of Famer Lita also publicly stated her interest in a one-on-one match against the former Judgment Day member.
Lita last competed inside the squared circle at WrestleMania 39 on April 1, 2023. She teamed up with Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus to defeat the then-Damage CTRL members Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY at the SoFi Stadium.
Trish Stratus and Lita were recently at the Comic-Con Northern Ireland for a Q&A session. When asked about potential dream matches against current WWE superstars, the two female legends shared their thoughts. While Stratus called out Tiffany Stratton, the former WWE Women's Champion expressed her desire to face Mami in the ring.
She praised Rhea Ripley's growth and development as a character since their brief interaction at the Royal Rumble. Impressed by The Eradicator's multifaceted character, Lita suggested that their contrasting styles could potentially ignite an electrifying match:
"I think somebody that I had a very brief interaction with in the Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley, has just grown so much and added so many layers to her character. I think she would be great to face," she said. [From 06:23 to 06:37]

Speaking to Justin Dhillon on The Wrestling Classic podcast, Rhea Ripley expressed her deep emotional connection to The Judgment Day, stating that they were like family to her. The Nightmare revealed that she cried backstage after the group's betrayal, emphasizing that she was not ashamed of her emotions.
"The Judgment Day was really family to me, like, it really was. It helped my career so much more than I can actually put into words. I feel like that's when I started opening up and feeling comfortable going out there in front of the crowd because I had the boys that I could fall back on. It was really emotional for me. I saw something come out about The Judgment Day members, a specific one, crying backstage after everything, and I'm not ashamed of it; that was me," Ripley said.
