Predicting the Superstars that will make up the Final Four of the Women's Royal Rumble match

#4 Rhea Ripley could be part of Final Four of the Women's Royal Rumble

The Nightmare

Depending on what you may or may not believe, Rhea Ripley's Last Woman Standing match might have been her send-off from NXT. Some felt that she was heading to the main roster and into Royal Rumble. She has a built-in feud with Charlotte if the latter wins the RAW Women's title before the Show of Shows.

Ripley didn't appear on the latest episode of NXT as the Dusty Rhodes Classic Tournament began. Raquel Gonzalez addressed the fact that she was the top dog in NXT, furthering speculation that the Royal Rumble may be the next time we see the Nightmare in action.

The Women's Dusty Rhodes Classic could also be another spot where we see Ripley, but if not, she's appearing in the 2021 Royal Rumble. She was already one of the top women on the brand but has allowed others (Dakota Kai, Shotzi Blackheart, and Candice LeRae) to get their shots at the NXT Women's Championship.

If Ripley is in the Royal Rumble, she has to have a great showing. Bianca Belair did so last year prior to her eventual call up following 'Mania. The Nightmare also defended an NXT title at the Show of Shows for the first time in WWE history. That's not something that is done lightly, but it was likely only done because Flair was her opponent. Expect Ripley to have a great showing in the 2021 Royal Rumble.
