Rhea Ripley will defend her RAW Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair this Sunday night at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Since The Queen made her return to WWE programming following WrestleMania back in April, Flair has targeted the Women's Championship and its new holder Rhea Ripley.
Ripley was able to overcome the threat of Asuka at this year's Show Of Shows to win the Championship for the first time and then retained her Championship last month at WrestleMania Backlash.
It was Asuka who was pinned in last month's triple threat match where Ripley retained, which meant that Charlotte had a legitimate claim for a rematch. Nikki Cross has become part of the Women's Championship picture as well recently and it's a shock that this match hasn't been changed to another triple threat.
Given the issues between these two women in recent weeks, there are a number of potential endings to Hell in a Cell's RAW Women's Championship match.
#5 Rhea Ripley retains her RAW Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell
Rhea Ripley was promoted to Monday Night RAW ahead of this year's WrestleMania and has gone on to dominate the Women's Division in such a short time. The Nightmare became the first woman to hold the NXT UK, NXT, and RAW Women's Championships at WrestleMania and could well be the only person on the roster at present who can take the fight to Charlotte Flair.
Ripley lost to Flair the last time these two women collided in a one-on-one Women's Championship match. This came back at WrestleMania 36 when The Queen walked out with the NXT Women's Title.
This time around Ripley is once again walking into the match at Hell in a Cell as the Champion but could be about to show Flair that she isn't the same person that The Queen toppled at WrestleMania 36.
If Flair underestimates the current RAW Women's Champion at Hell in a Cell, then it's easy to see Ripley walking out with her Championship. This is the first time that The Queen and The Nightmare have collided one on one for the title since Ripley was added to the Monday Night RAW roster and it could decide who really is the future of the Women's Division.
#4 Charlotte Flair takes another step towards her father's long-standing record at Hell in a Cell
If Charlotte Flair is able to lift the RAW Women's Championship this weekend at Hell in a Cell then she will become a 13-time Women's Champion. The Queen, who is one of the most decorated female stars in the company, could take another step towards her father's record this weekend.
Ric Flair is a former 16-time World Champion, a record that John Cena also holds with The Nature Boy. However, there have been rumors that WWE is pushing The Queen to be the woman to finally break the record.
Flair was originally slated to be the woman facing Asuka at WrestleMania this year. This meant that The Queen could have been set to walk out as Women's Champion if she wasn't replaced at the last minute.
Charlotte has also defeated Rhea Ripley in a one-on-one match at WrestleMania and wasn't pinned at WrestleMania Backlash. It's hard to see past Charlotte Flair walking out of Hell in a Cell as a 13-time Women's Champion.
#3 Nikki Cross makes it clear that she should have been part of the Title Match at Hell in a Cell
Nikki Cross should technically have been part of the RAW Women's Title match this weekend at Hell in a Cell. The former Women's Tag Team Champion has been embroiled in the feud between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair and has picked up victories over both women.
Whilst Cross hasn't been able to pin either woman in singles matches, she has won beat-the-clock matches against both The Queen and The Nightmare and was able to defeat Charlotte Flair this past week on RAW via count-out.
It's unclear why this wasn't enough for Cross to be added to the match, but it could be because the former Women's Tag Team Champion is set to interfere during the bout instead.
In recent months, Cross hasn't been using the gimmick that made her famous in NXT but this could be brought back at Hell in a Cell if she interferes in the match and Ripley is then able to retain the title via disqualification.
#2 Piper Niven is told to make a statement at Hell in a Cell
The RAW Women's Championship will be on the line this weekend at Hell in a Cell and it could be the perfect place to make a statement.
This past week on RAW, after weeks of teasing the WWE Universe, Eva Marie made her return but this time she wasn't alone.
Naomi, Marie's scheduled opponent, was overpowered by Piper Niven, who made the step up from NXT UK. The duo could decide to appear at Hell in a Cell to make a statement.
Eva Marie is set to be pushed to the top of the Women's Division on RAW and that would mean that she will be going toe-to-toe with the Champion at some point.
If Marie gave her new bodyguard the order to send a warning to both Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair this weekend, then this match could finish as a no contest.
There are many women in the division at present who want to be the main focus and this could lead to an interference during the title match at Hell In A Cell 2021.
#1 Becky Lynch finally makes her WWE return at Hell in a Cell
The RAW Women's Championship will be on the line this weekend at Hell in a Cell and it's the Title that Becky Lynch never lost.
The former Champion was forced to relinquish the gold back in May last year when it was revealed that she was expecting her first child. The Man handed the Championship over to Asuka on an episode of Monday Night RAW and hasn't wrestled on WWE TV since.
Lynch welcomed her daughter back in December and has since been working to get back into shape before returning to WWE. There were rumors that she could be aiming for a return at SummerSlam. However, if The Man decides to show up this Sunday, the shock element would be high.
Becky Lynch has had her own fair share of issues with Charlotte Flair and she has also battled Rhea Ripley in the past. If the former champion wants to target the title that she never lost, then Hell in a Cell would be the perfect time to make her presence known.
