WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley's SummerSlam didn't go as planned. However, the resilient Mami isn't one to back down from a challenge. Following the premium live event in Cleveland, she expressed her desire to face TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace in a one-on-one match.

The Eradicator clashed with Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship at The Biggest Party of The Summer. However, a shocking betrayal unfolded as Dominik Mysterio turned his back on Ripley by helping Morgan retain her title. The night took an even more dramatic turn when Morgan and Dominik shared a kiss, leaving the 27-year-old devastated.

In an interview with TV Insider, Rhea Ripley was asked who she would like to face from TNA Wrestling following their partnership with WWE. Mami expressed her desire to face Jordynne Grace in a wrestling match. She also praised the 28-year-old TNA Knockouts World Champion's strength and acknowledged their size difference but emphasized her own strength.

"I mean I would love to face Jordynne Grace. I think that would be a hell of a match. Strong girl versus strong girl. She probably has me on size a bit, but you know Mami is so strong. I would love it though. It would be an awesome match," Ripley said. [H/T: TV Insider]

The former Judgment Day member also sees this potential match as a positive step towards furthering the collaboration between the Sports Entertainment juggernaut and TNA, hoping for more talent exchanges in the future. Ripley added:

"Just seeing WWE and TNA meshing together is such a step in the right direction. I’m excited to see what the future brings with that and how many others we can swap and change over because anything can happen." [H/T: TV Insider]

Rhea Ripley reveals she didn't want WWE Hall of Famer to leave The Judgment Day

The Judgment Day stable was originally formed by current AEW star Adam Copeland (fka Edge) in 2022. The WWE Hall of Famer recruited Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley to the group before being ousted from it in June of that year.

Following the shocking betrayals of Dominik against Mami and Finn Balor against The Archer of Infamy at SummerSlam, no original members remain in the villainous faction.

In the WWE 24: Damian Priest documentary, Rhea Ripley admitted she was opposed to the idea of The Rated R Superstar leaving The Judgment Day.

"I really didn't want Edge to leave, but it also opened up such a massive door," she said.
