Rhea Ripley is heading towards 2025, determined to win back her Women's World title. While she may not hold the championship anymore, her popularity with the fans remains incredibly strong.
She has been the most dominant women’s wrestler of the past year, and next year might bring some exciting opportunities her way. What surprises does WWE have for the Eradicator?
Here are four predictions for Rhea Ripley in 2025.

#4. Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest could be permanently separated
Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest split from the Judgment Day after a betrayal. After that, they teamed up again as the Terror Twins and faced off against the stable, coming out on top in a mixed tag match against Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio at Bash in Berlin 2024.
They parted ways but still found themselves tangled up in each other's drama. Recently, WWE revealed a new transfer window where General Managers from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT can make trades and tweak their rosters. This window is currently open, meaning Superstars will be shifting around as RAW makes its way to Netflix.
Due to this, The Terror Twins might end up splitting for good, with Priest heading to Smackdown while Rhea sticks around on RAW after the first Netflix show.
#3. Two monsters could help Rhea win Women’s World Championship
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan are set to collide for the Women’s World Championship on the first RAW on January 6. The Miracle Kid looks to be the one with a higher probability of winning. Her alliance with The Judgment Day faction could be a deciding factor, as the group is notorious for interfering in matches to ensure their members' success.
The Eradicator could get unlikely help from Erik and Ivar. These two behemoths could help her even the odds. Their motive to offer help could stem from The Archer of Infamy helping them win the World Tag Team Championship on a recent RAW. They could return the favor by helping the 28-year-old conquer the reigning champion.
#2. A match with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 41
The Stamford-based promotion could book an intergender match between Ripley and Dominik Mysterio. The match could happen at WrestleMania 41.
The 27-year-old betrayed his former love interest at SummerSlam and helped Morgan become the champion. After taking down Liv, Mami might finally get a shot at Dom Dom. She could use this match as an opportunity to teach him a harsh lesson about disrespecting her. The idea of Mami getting her hands on Dom Dom could be a huge draw, combining a personal vendetta with the anticipation of an intense, high-profile match.
#1. A rematch with Becky Lynch
Rhea Ripley beat Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40. The match was solid, but it lacked that extra excitement. Both of these athletes deserve the spotlight to shine once again.
If the 28-year-old ends up winning on January 6, the Stamford-based promotion might have an easy storyline lined up to set her up against The Man at WrestleMania 41.
Lynch has been out of action since May, but she was recently seen promoting the first show on Netflix. The 37-year-old could return to have a staredown with Rhea after the latter's victory. Whether she comes back as a villain or just someone out for revenge, WWE has a real opportunity to craft an exciting storyline that could overshadow the build-up they got earlier this year.
