"At the end of the day, everyone wants that WrestleMania gold ticket. I don't blame them. It's a massive opportunity. It's what everyone works for. I have a target on my back and I'm not gonna hide from that fact, so whoever it is that I stand across from at WrestleMania 41, because I guarantee I'm walking in Women's World Champion. Whoever stands across the ring from me, they're gonna have to be ready for Mami. Because at the end of the day, what do you always say? 'Mami is always on top,'" Ripley said. [1:42 - 2:08]

The 2025 Royal Rumble is just a week away, with just seven announced participants in the Women's Rumble match. Those stars are Nia Jax, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Bianca Belair, and Naomi.
Backstage plans on Rhea Ripley's potential opponent at WrestleMania 41
Rhea Ripley already has a pretty stacked resume when it comes to opponents at WrestleMania. Ripley has beaten Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Asuka at The Grandest Stage of Them All. She has also been in the ring with Naomi, Sasha Banks, Carmella, Zelina Vega, Natalya, and Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 38.
But who will be Mami's opponent for this year's event in Las Vegas? According to Fightful Select, one of the rumored names in the mix to face Ripley for the Women's World Championship is Bianca Belair.
The two have been open about making that dream match come true over the past year. Belair has been focused on the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, but that could change depending on what the company wants.
Jade Cargill's story is still up in the air and unfinished, with Naomi also in the mix after what happened back in November.
