Rhea Ripley unveils her new nickname after attacking Dominik Mysterio on RAW

Rhea Ripley is on top of the world. This week's episode of RAW may have been one of the most special nights of her WWE career, for multiple different reasons.

First off, Mami finally dethroned Liv Morgan to win the Women's World Championship. It was a great match and didn't feature too many external shenanigans. Ripley's celebration was interrupted by The Undertaker, who made his entrance and rode his motorcycle around the ring, before posing with the new Women's World Champion.

However, the sweetest moment of all may have come between the two of them. After Rhea Ripley won the title, Dominik Mysterio entered the ring and offered her a hug. Mami proceeded to low-blow her ex-boyfriend, before hitting a Riptide on him. Finally, some much-deserved revenge.

Ripley shared a reel of her attack on Dirty Dom on her Instagram story, along with a one-word message:

"Nutcracker."

That just so happens to be her previous nickname in high school, as she revealed a few months ago. Rhea Ripley seems to have brought it back for her WWE persona after kicking Dominik Mysterio below the belt.

Check out a screengrab from Ripley's Instagram story:

It remains to be seen, though, if Mami will need to turn into The Nutcracker again.


What's next for Rhea Ripley as the Women's World Champion?

While The Undertaker showed up to give Ripley the rub, the original plan reportedly was for Becky Lynch to get involved in the Women's World Championship match. This would likely lead to a WrestleMania XL rematch between Mami and The Man.

Lynch's WWE return remains imminent, so the two could face off pretty soon. Meanwhile, several other women on the RAW roster will hope to step up to Rhea Ripley. Among them is IYO SKY, who came close to dethroning Liv Morgan last month.

She could win the 2025 Royal Rumble Match and earn a Women's World Title shot at WrestleMania 41. A match between Ripley and SKY on the grandest stage would be phenomenal.
