5 WWE Superstars who could be elevated in Charlotte Flair's absence

#3 Rhea Ripley

Her brutality on the women's division is NOW!

After losing to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania it seems the rise of Rhea Ripley has come to a halt. While she can't win every match and seek to maintain their time at the top, it appears as though first losing the high profile match followed by being the one that took the pinfall and not recapturing the title at In Your House has left some to question why.

Ripley is about as solid a competitor as anyone on the roster and a loss to Charlotte Flair was disappointing. She can bring a new sense of legitimacy to the title if given an opportunity once again.

A longstanding feud with Io Shirai is exactly what fans need to see with Rhea Ripley. She had worked too hard and long to not be used in the same capacity as others on the roster.

A feud between the two would showcase true athleticism, hard-hitting action with a flair for the dramatic. We have seen them both on the same side in battle against the best that both Smackdown and Raw have to offer; now it's time to see them do battle with one another.
