After the Royal Rumble 2024, all attention is now focused on WWE’s upcoming premium live event, Elimination Chamber 2024, scheduled for February 24th in Perth, Australia. Fans are eagerly anticipating the participation of Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, who hails from Australia and may defend her title in her home country.
During her championship reign, Rhea Ripley has conquered formidable opponents such as Ivy Nile, Zoey Stark, and Raquel Rodriguez, while also being involved in significant storylines. Despite fans hoping to see her in action during the Royal Rumble, WWE did not include her in any matches, leading to widespread disappointment. However, a recent update suggests a significant development regarding her next title defense.
On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer hinted that Rhea Ripley might defend her Women’s World Championship against the powerhouse Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber 2024. Notably, since becoming Women’s World Champion, Ripley has not faced Nia Jax in a singles match.
Dave Meltzer also shed light on WWE’s plans for Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40, reporting in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that a long-anticipated match between Ripley and Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship is still in the cards. This bout has been in the works for several months, indicating a high-profile showdown at the grand stage of WrestleMania 40.
As fans eagerly await Rhea Ripley’s upcoming challenges and potential historic matchups, the trajectory of her career in the coming months, especially at Elimination Chamber 2024 and WrestleMania 40, remains a focal point of interest in the WWE universe.
