Rhea Ripley has been a staple on WWE RAW and is one of the top stars of the brand. However, it has been noticeable that during the holidays, she has appeared in more events related to Friday Night SmackDown.
Rhea Ripley has been on WWE RAW since she was called up to the main roster in 2021. She has held the Women's Championship twice since moving and remains a significant name despite no longer being the champion. However, fans have noted that during the company's Holiday Tour, she mainly joined the live events of SmackDown. As it turns out, this won't be something permanent.
As mentioned, Rhea was on the SmackDown side of the Holiday Tour in Orlando and Miami where she teamed up with Bianca Belair and Naomi. In the past, house shows have been a way for the company to test crowd reactions to certain feuds and tag team pairings, which is why some may think she will move to the Friday show and team up with the Women's Tag Team Champions. Still, it should be noted that Rhea Ripley will not leave WWE RAW.

However, as per Fightful Select, The Eradicator's appearances weren't part of a potential storyline nor were they trying to test out fan reaction. It's believed that the RAW star wrestled on the Florida shows to spend more time with her family, who traveled to that side of the United States for the holidays.
What is next for Rhea Ripley on WWE RAW?
Several high-profile matches and appearances are set for Monday Night RAW next week for its Netflix premiere. Stars like Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and John Cena are advertised for the show. To no surprise, The Eradicator will also be involved in the show.
The Eradicator started her feud with Liv Morgan after WrestleMania XL and their rivalry officially began in July last year after the former returned from an injury. Since then, they have had two singles matches for the Women's World Championship and were on opposite teams for a Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series.
For next week's RAW, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan will face each other for the third time in a Last Woman Standing match for the Women's World Championship. Many theorize that their upcoming WWE RAW bout will mark the final match of their feud.
It remains to be seen what will happen next with Rhea Ripley on the Monday show this year.
