Rhea Ripley has been one of the stars to watch in WWE for some time now and she’s picked up some major momentum so far in 2023. Ripley won the women’s Royal Rumble, and she went on to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship when she defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39.
At this point Rhea Ripley is no stranger when it comes to winning championship gold, but it seems that she has goals that go beyond the WWE women’s division. Recently Rhea Ripley appeared on the Battleground Podcast and she expressed a desire to compete for male championships as well.
“It would be awesome [to compete for a male championship]. It definitely would be awesome. I’m down for it. I 110% would be down for it. Obviously, we don’t know what the future holds, and I don’t know how well intergender wrestling is gonna go within the WWE in general, with the networks and all of that, but if it would ever be a possibility, my name is at the top of the line. It has to be.”
“I’ve already shown that I can step in the ring with the boys. So, I’d be down to that. I’d love to be tag champs with Dom Dom, or [Damian] Priest, or Finn [Balor]. I would love to give Seth Rollins a bit of a lesson after Monday — him putting his arm around me scaring the living hell out of me. I thought it was Dom, but whatever. So, he’s gonna get his, but I would love to.”
This concept certainly isn’t outside the realm of possibility as Chyna previously won the Intercontinental Championship during the Attitude Era. We’ll just have to wait and see if Rhea Ripley ends up challenging for men’s championship someday.
