SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley believes a fellow star will win a WWE title soon
Rhea Ripley is one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE. She is not only a top-caliber wrestler but also has the ability to portray captivating storylines. Her on-screen chemistry with Dominik Mysterio has attracted a lot of fans, with Rhea playing the role of a protective 'Mami' while Dom Dom stirs trouble both inside and outside the ring.
The younger Mysterio is one of the most notorious characters on RAW. There have been several moments in which the crowd drowned out his words with jeers and boos. From tormenting the legend Rey Mysterio to slapping Cody Rhodes, Dom's misdeeds have made him a solid villain.
During an interview with the Battleground Podcast, Rhea Ripley expressed her belief in Dominik winning a title due to his ever-increasing popularity.
"He's definitely getting a massive reaction from the WWE Universe and it's quite entertaining. Every week it seems to get louder and louder. So, in no time, seeing how far he's grown in the last six months... and just blossom into the Superstar that you see today, he's definitely going to have some Championship gold around his waist sometime soon. I believe it. He believes it, and so do Finn (Balor) and Damian (Priest)." (H/T Sportster)
Both Ripley and Dominik Mysterio holding championships will increase their prestige as an on-screen power couple. So far, Dom has only won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
