Rhea defeated Charlotte Flair to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39. The Eradicator has since defended her title against Zelina Vega at Backlash and Natalya at Night of Champions. Meanwhile, the Stamford-based company is yet to announce an opponent for Ripley at Money in the Bank.
In an interview with Battleground Podcast, Ripley seemingly issued an open challenge for her title ahead of the upcoming premium live event.
"Anyone. Anyone and everyone. I know I have a target on my back and everyone wants to get in the ring with me for the SmackDown Women's Championship. So, whoever steps up to the plate, I mean that's who it is. They're gonna feel my brutality and they're gonna realize why I am at the top of the food chain. I don't really care who it is. They can try and prove a point. They can try and make a name for themselves whoever it is. But at the end of the day, Mami's always on top, so...," Ripley said. [From 13:16 to 13:45]
