Was Rhea Ripley's heel turn a long time coming?
Rhea Ripley made her RAW debut last year as a face. The Nightmare then successfully defeated Asuka at WrestleMania 37 for the RAW Women's Championship.
Recently, on the Instagram handle of BT Sports WWE, Ripley participated in a 'This or That' game. The former women's champion was asked to share her preferences on premium live events, favorite wrestlers, and favorite brands.
When asked about her preference on being a heel or a face, The Nightmare revealed that she would rather be a heel than a face.

The tension between LIV for BRUTALITY had been building up for quite a while now. A few weeks ago, on an episode of RAW, Ripley shoved Morgan to the mat before walking out on her partner.
The two superstars later made up in a backstage segment. It remains to be seen whether a match between the two women is on the cards at WrestleMania Backlash.
