Aiden English thinks that Rhea Ripley could win the WWE Women's World Championship against IYO SKY if she turned heel

Aiden English believes Rhea Ripley could capture the WWE Women's World Championship at the Evolution Premium Live Event if she turned heel against IYO SKY. Speaking on the Rebooked Wrestling podcast, he said:

"Here's my problem with it. They might [put it back on Rhea Ripley]. I don't think it is locked, though. My problem is I'm a little bored of Rhea and IYO [SKY], especially when they're both kind of babyface. Unless this is a heel turn for Rhea, which would make an exciting change for her character."

Ripley and SKY will collide in the main event of the second-ever Evolution PLE. It'll be interesting to see who walks out of Atlanta with the gold.
