Rhea Ripley is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in WWE right now. However, a veteran thinks that she will not be winning her title match on the first episode of RAW since moving to Netflix.

The rivalry between the Eradicator and Liv Morgan has been a hot storyline in WWE for quite some time now. With RAW moving to Netflix, it is clear that Triple H wants to make the first episode a memorable one. To that end, the three matches announced so far for the card are all high-profile ones involving names like Roman Reigns and CM Punk.

In Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo was asked about his prediction of the title match between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. He stated:

"I think you know, Rhea Ripley is super over with the people. She don't need the belt, you know. Liv does. Liv, that belt and that title really helps Liv. Rhea Ripley will remain over whether or not she wins the title. She doesn't need the title. They just need to protect her in this match. But I think, I mean, they should keep the title on Liv."

The WWE star has received praise from Bill Apter

According to veteran journalist Bill Apter, Rhea Ripley has redefined her era of wrestling in the company.

Speaking on an episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter explained how the Eradicator had become a household name in pro wrestling. He stated:

"To me Rhea Ripley changed the tide, the riptide there. Rhea Ripley redefined the female end of WWE and I would say there are a lot of other women in there that did incredible, including Teddy's pick Nia Jax. Liv Morgan also, way up there, and so many of them... Rhea is, people expect to see her. She became a household face in the pro-wrestling business in 2024."

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for Rhea Ripley down the line in WWE.
