#1 Best: Rhea Ripley remaining the queen of RAW at WrestleMania Backlash
Trending
The art of an opening match is often overlooked, and WWE executed it perfectly at WrestleMania Backlash. It's always important to select the right match to open the show, as it often dictates the pace of the entire PPV.
At WrestleMania Backlash, Rhea Ripley opened the show by defending the RAW Women's Title against two greats in Charlotte Flair and Asuka. It was a great showing for Ripley, who pinned the Empress Of Tomorrow in the end to retain her Title.

Charlotte Flair was protected, and she had a staredown with Rhea Ripley outside the ring, indicating that she would be next in line for a singles title shot post-WrestleMania Backlash.
Becky Lynch's absence is telling. It's been close to half a year since she gave birth, and while that's normal, her return could be held off until Money in the Bank 2021, where a live crowd is reportedly expected.
But Rhea Ripley remaining on top of her throne at WrestleMania Backlash was one of the highlights of the show.
