Rhea Ripley looked like an unbeatable champion on WWE RAW this week

WWE RAW Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley looked like her brutal self for the first time since her arrival on the main roster. Despite winning the title at WrestleMania 37, she didn’t get enough time and attention to prove herself a dominant champion.

However, Ripley showed her ruthless side this week, and we witnessed glimpses of her NXT days.

Ripley first appeared on the latest edition of WWE RAW during the match between Charlotte Flair and Nikki Cross. She even attacked The Queen after her loss to make a strong statement. Later in the night, Ripley locked horns with Asuka in an action-packed encounter. Both superstars pushed each other to their limits, but in the end, Ripley prevailed.

However, her celebration was cut short by Charlotte Flair, who returned to the ring and laid out a brutal attack on the WWE RAW Women’s Champion. Both superstars started punching each other, which prompted backstage officials to interfere in the brawl.

Things quickly escalated between Charlotte and Ripley as the two mercilessly attacked each other.

Ahead of their Hell in a Cell encounter, an unhinged Charlotte Flair continues to pose a serious threat to Rhea Ripley’s title reign.

However, Ripley is now looking more comfortable in her role, and she won’t let her WWE RAW Women’s Championship slip away so easily.
