The WWE Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley, is on a collision course with the formidable Raquel Rodriguez at WWE Payback 2023. After asserting her dominance over the RAW Women’s division for months, The Eradicator faces a challenger who might just prove to be her match. However, as anticipation builds for their Championship clash, the WWE Universe is buzzing with rumors of a possible return during Payback.
Despite Rhea Ripley’s powerhouse status, she often enjoys the support of her Judgement Day comrades and her on-screen partner, Dominik Mysterio. Yet, a 39-year-old former WWE champion and Women’s division powerhouse isn’t fazed by Ripley’s advantageous alliances.
Nia Jax, the irrepressible force of the Women’s division, has dropped tantalizing hints about a WWE comeback at Payback. Sportskeeda recently shared an Instagram reel featuring an interview snippet with Jax. In this candid exchange, Jax issues a direct message to Ripley, asserting, “Rhea Ripley, your Dom Dom is not going to be able to help you, honey. I am going to get Payback.”
While Jax remains resolute in her intentions, she doesn’t underestimate Ripley’s wrestling prowess. In the same interview, she commends Ripley’s impressive work but hints at a potential need for a reality check.
