WrestleMania Backlash: 5 superstars who desperately need to win – Roman Reigns’ cunning plan, big mistake with former Universal Champion? 

#3 Rhea Ripley (RAW Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash)

Rhea Ripley should retain her RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania Backlash

WrestleMania Backlash will feature a triple threat match between Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Rhea Ripley with the latter’s RAW Women’s Championship on the line. She won the title at WrestleMania 37 after defeating Asuka. Now, Ripley has to defend her championship against The Queen and The Empress. Losing the championship will take a huge toll on her momentum, and that could have a brutal impact on her main roster career.

Both Asuka and Charlotte Flair have enjoyed good title runs on WWE RAW. The former deserved her title rematch, whereas Flair is involved because she was offended by being left out of WrestleMania. Both these superstars have nailed their roles of a babyface and a heel, respectively. They should now use their position to put Rhea Ripley over at WrestleMania Backlash.

Charlotte Flair doesn’t need a title run immediately, and she can feud with other top names in the women’s division. Following that, her return to the title picture will carry more weight in the future. Asuka has been one of the most entertaining superstars on RAW lately, and she can feud with Alexa Bliss. Thus, both these superstars can afford a loss at WrestleMania Backlash, but that is not the case with Rhea Ripley.

She has had a dominant start to her career on WWE RAW as she went for the title right after her debut. Ripley can also carry herself well as a heel, and the creative can use her to establish top babyfaces on the brand. Defending her championship against both Charlotte Flair and Asuka at WrestleMania Backlash will account for a memorable title run as well.
