Rhea Ripley chose to go up against former rival Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 for the SmackDown Women's Championship, a title she has never held. At WrestleMania 37, Ripley went up against Asuka and won her first and only reign as RAW Women's Champion.
Last year, the 26-year old ignited a feud with Beth Phoenix when The Judgment Day targeted Edge with a series of vicious assaults. With no one to stand up to the female star, The Glamazon stepped in. It started on an August edition of RAW, when The Rated R Superstar defeated Damian Priest in a singles match. This did not sit well with The Judgment Day who then pounced on him. The former WWE Women's Champion jumped in and grabbed the steel chair Finn Balor had in hand.
