Did WWE drop a major Easter egg about Rhea Ripley’s WrestleMania 41 opponent? Exploring subtle hint

Rhea Ripley made a shocking return on WWE RAW last week. She has since been added to the Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series.

Ripley is eager to get her hands on her arch-rival Liv Morgan inside the WarGames structure. However, this rivalry might not be the plan for WrestleMania 41. WWE has now teased someone else to be Ripley’s potential opponent at the Grandest Stage of Them All, Bianca Belair.

Belair, Naomi, and IYO SKY discussed who could replace Jade Cargill as their team's fifth member during the latest RAW episode. Ripley interrupted the conversation. She stated that she didn’t care who joined as long as she could get her hands on Liv Morgan inside WarGames.

The tension between Ripley and Belair was evident, with them subtly challenging each other’s authority as team leaders. With an advantage match to prepare for, Belair left the decision about the fifth member to the rest of the team.

With Jade Cargill out of action, WWE may be building toward a high-profile clash between Belair and Ripley at WrestleMania 41.

Wrestling veteran predicts Rhea Ripley's team to emerge victorious at WWE Survivor Series

Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, IYO SKY, and Naomi will team up to compete in the Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series. They will face the team of Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Candice LeRae in a battle for bragging rights.

Wrestling veteran Bill Apter recently commented on Ripley’s return on RAW. He noted that Ripley, with a renewed killer instinct, looked more dangerous than ever and predicted that her team would emerge victorious at Survivor Series.

"I'm glad Rhea [Ripley] came back because she's more vicious and violent and she's got that killer instinct again. I thought she was getting soft but when she got in the ring again on Monday Night RAW with the other girls and gave that unexpected headbutt to Liv Morgan. You're looking for a prediction? Rhea's team's going to win," said Apter.

It will be fascinating to see which of these two teams walks out of Vancouver, Canada, with the win.
