Rhea Ripley’s climb to the top of WWE’s female roster has been nothing short of impressive. The current Women’s World Heavyweight Champion has been on a formidable streak since her victory over Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. She defended her championship against a string of challengers, including Zoey Starks, at Survivor Series: WarGames in November.
As WWE gears up for the Elimination Chamber, set to take place in Australia, Ripley’s home country, speculation is rife about her next big showdown. According to insights from Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, it seems Ripley is slated for a match against Nia Jax at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event on February 24th. Meltzer stated, “I would probably say Rhea Ripley vs Nia Jax for Australia,” he said.
Jax showcased her skills at the Royal Rumble before being eliminated by Jade Cargill. Tensions between her and Ripley escalated during a recent intense face-off on RAW. The stage is set for a potential challenge from Jax for Ripley’s coveted title. This adds excitement as the Elimination Chamber is set to take place in Perth, Australia. It will be interesting to see if Jax comes out on Raw and challenges Ripley for her title.
