Rhea Ripley interested in facing former WWE Champion at WrestleMania 40

Rhea Ripley seems interested in taking on a top name at WrestleMania 40.

Former WWE Champion The Miz failed to beat Gunther for the Intercontinental title at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. Prior to the bout, The Miz stated that if he defeated The Ring General, he would give an Intercontinental title shot to The Nightmare at next year's WrestleMania.

Rhea Ripley noticed the clip and retweeted the same, making it clear that she's down for the big intergender match.

Ripley has always shown interest in having intergender matches in WWE. In late 2022, she got one when she faced Akira Tozawa on an episode of RAW. It didn't take long for Ripley to dispose of Tozawa that night.

Ripley is the current Women's World Champion on WWE RAW. At Survivor Series: WarGames 2023, she defeated Zoey Stark to retain her title belt.

Unfortunately, The Miz failed to defeat The Ring General for the Intercontinental title tonight. Fans would still love to see a one-on-one match pitting Rhea Ripley with The Miz somewhere down the line.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
