Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan have been embroiled in a deeply personal feud for quite some time now. While they have already faced each other multiple times, WWE seems to be interested in extending their feud moving forward. However, a major problem involving The Eradicator might emerge on RAW which could hurt the title opportunity of a 34-year-old star.

The star in question is IYO SKY. The Damage CTRL member became the Number One Contender for the Women's World Championship by winning a Battle Royal on the episode of RAW after Crown Jewel. She is currently expected to be next in line for the coveted title but things might take a major twist with Mami getting involved in the mix.

Rhea Ripley scored a pinfall victory over the reigning champion, Liv Morgan, in the Women's WarGames Match at Survivor Series: WarGames. Therefore, she might stake her claim for a title shot. If The Eradicator gets involved in the title picture, this could become a three-way situation, potentially prompting a Triple Threat Match between Morgan, IYO, and Ripley for the Women's World Championship.

It could become a big hurdle for The Genius of the Sky, who is currently set to face the champion in a one-on-one match. IYO SKY has long awaited her title opportunity. However, a multi-person match will significantly reduce her chances of winning the Women's World Championship, as a title change could take place without her involvement.

In such a scenario, the Damage CTRL member would not even need to be directly pinned or submitted to lose the match. As a result, Rhea Ripley's involvement in the Women's World Title picture could prove to be a disaster for IYO SKY's hard-earned championship opportunity.

Rhea Ripley to become Women's World Champion before WrestleMania 41?

Rhea Ripley has been relentlessly pursuing the Women's World Championship since her return in July. Although she has been unsuccessful in her attempts to capture the gold, Ripley is likely to win the title at some point. There is a strong possibility that The Eradicator might defeat Liv Morgan way before WrestleMania 41 to become the Women's World Champion.

Liv Morgan's reign as champion has faced considerable criticism from the WWE Universe, with many deeming it monotonous. Extending her reign until next year's WrestleMania could further aggravate the situation. To inject excitement into the RAW women's division and draw attention leading up to The Show of Shows, WWE might put the title on Rhea Ripley's shoulder.

Upon winning the title back, Mami could finally come out of her longstanding saga with Morgan. It will open the doors for many intriguing feuds and rivalries with other stars. Besides, there are rumors that WWE is planning a blockbuster clash between Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for WrestleMania 41. Therefore, it makes it quite plausible that Ripley could capture the title before WrestleMania 41.

It remains to be seen how the Women's World Championship picture shapes up in the coming months leading up to The Showcase of the Immortals.
