5 directions for Eva Marie upon her WWE RAW return

#3 Challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE RAW Women's Championship

Rhea Ripley captured the RAW Women's Championship for the first time in her WWE career at WrestleMania 37 Night Two

WWE RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley has certainly made an impact since debuting on the red brand earlier this year.

Only weeks after making her debut on RAW, Ripley defeated Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 37 Night Two to capture the RAW Women's Championship for the first time in her career.

The Nightmare is currently scheduled to defend her RAW Women's Championship against Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match at WrestleMania Backlash later this month.

Should Rhea Ripley successfully defend her RAW Women's Championship, perhaps the former NXT star could shift her attention to Eva Marie.

Eva Marie has never held a singles title in WWE and having the former Total Divas star change that would certainly stir up some controversy on social media.

One of Eva Marie's greatest WWE matches came in NXT in 2015 when she challenged Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship. The storyline heading into the match was that "WWE officials" wanted Marie to win the championship for promotional and corporate purposes.

This led to various referee interferences and slow counts, seemingly indicating that Eva Marie would win. Despite the adversity, Bayley was able to defeat Marie and retain the NXT Women's Championship.

WWE could present a similar angle on Monday Night RAW, except this time it would pit Eva Marie against Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women's Championship.
