5 feuds for Rhea Ripley on Monday Night RAW

#4 Rhea Ripley breaks through Naomi's glow

Rhea Ripley could break onto RAW with a dominant win over the beloved Naomi

Rhea Ripley started off as a dominant heel in NXT UK. The Mosh Pit Kid ran through the NXT UK Women's Division, and she became the inaugural Women's Champion for the brand.

Rhea Ripley ran roughshod, as she defeated beloved faces Xia Brookside, Dakota Kai, and Toni Storm. Her look, attitude, charisma, and moveset lean toward that villainous persona. If she comes to RAW as a heel, Naomi would be a great opponent for her first feud.

Naomi has always had the WWE Universe wrapped around her finger. Even as recently as last summer, fans have begged for the company to give Naomi the push she deserves. Pre-COVID, few entrances caused stadiums to erupt from like Naomi's. The former SmackDown Women's Champion has the ability to back up the hype that surrounds her.

Imagine the matches fans could see between these two stars. Naomi could try to keep away from Rhea Ripley's grip as long as she possibly can. Ultimately, though, Ripley could overcome her athleticism and lock her in the Prism Trap to make Naomi tap out.

If WWE wants to showcase Ripley's dominance, she needs to mow down someone that the fans love. Naomi is a perfect fit for this role.
