#5. Is WWE teasing a faction with RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley?

It's interesting that Rhea Ripley is the RAW Women's Champion despite only having a few matches under her belt on the WWE main roster. An obvious replacement for Charlotte Flair, Ripley now finds herself as the face of the RAW Women's division.

Her biggest adversary is a more established superstar in Asuka. This week on RAW, Ripley teamed up with Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to defeat the trio of Lana, Naomi, and Asuka. It was Jax who ultimately pinned Lana.

WWE continued to have Jax slip because of a mistake that happened to Mandy Rose at WrestleMania. Rose and her partner Dana Brooke, who aren't acting like babyfaces these days interfered in the Tag Team match and poured water on the floor - making Nia Jax slip again.

Given Ripley's "Tweener" status, WWE seemed to be hinting at her leading a faction involving Jax and Baszler. Would a three-champion faction help elevate Rhea Ripley on RAW?
