5 feuds coming out of the 2021 Royal Rumble

#3 Post-Royal Rumble feud - Rhea Ripley vs. Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss couldn't transform after everyone attacked her during the Royal Rumble.

One of the big reveals of the 2021 Women's Royal Rumble was Rhea Ripley's involvement. The former NXT Women's Champion had lost a Last Woman Standing match to Raquel Gonzalez at NXT's New Year's Evil a few weeks ago.

It was thought to be Ripley's swan song match for the black-and-gold brand as focus shifted to the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournaments.

Ripley entered the match at No. 14 and was the final person eliminated by winner Bianca Belair. She also had a hand with Belair in eliminating Charlotte Flair from the match. With that elimination, it meant that two recent NXT stars would battle it out for the right to earn a title match at WrestleMania 37.

Alexa Bliss entered the match towards the end of it. After the entire ring attacked her, she was about to go through her "transformation" into her darker persona. But before she could do that, Ripley tossed her out of the ring. Bliss will likely seek revenge for that action going forward, especially if Ripley becomes a permanent member of RAW.

While Bliss could easily target almost anyone on RAW due to their shared history, this could be a first angle for the Nightmare on the main roster. Belair won the Royal Rumble and will likely challenge for the SmackDown Women's belt at the Show of Shows.

That means that the Elimination Chamber could determine the challenger for the RAW Women's title. An ongoing feud between Bliss and Ripley could last for a few months leading up to WM 37.
