Brian Fowler Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 FWIW, I have the tag match pretty much neck and neck with Miyahara vs KAI for number 2 on my moty list to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 22 hours ago, thee Reverend Axl Future said: I too see nothing but greatness for Rhea Ripley (and am not a big fan of Toni Storm). I second West Newbury Bad Boy's genius idea of RR v. Asuka at the next available WrestleMania. I'll take it further: Rhea wins the Rumble, debuts as a killer, and adds credibility to the "new era" bollocks. Keep the Becky/Charlotte situation fluid for another month so paranoid Beckbeards can keep that heat hot before shoehorning both into the obvious Ronda triple threat. Two birds, one stone, and the main roster gets an immediate swagger upgrade. Assuming Rhea's going to be locked into an NXT holding pattern, she should be the champ there by Mania weekend.

With there being 2 singles titles and a Women's tag title coming soon, I'd like the idea of having someone relatively new to the main roster win the Rumble. Its not like they need an established name to win just to another women's match to headline WM. Plus it adds unpredictability to the Rumble by having an unknown win. You can have her in the Womens Elimination Chamber and not win it if you dont want her in a Women's title match but it would be great to have both the MYC winner and RR winner on NXT UK and give the Storm vs Ripley feud more credibility.

Godfrey Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Ripley has all the same upside as Velveteen Dream in that she's there physically, has the tools and personality, and is very young so you don't have to overpush her now. Hotshotting her into winning the Rumble would be unpredictable but A) it's a hard sell to anyone not watching NXT:UK or the MYC, which I imagine is a significant portion of the main roster audience (but I don't know) and B) say she does and then wins the title, what do you do after that? She has literally nothing left to aim for having conquered the two top honors in the company. Being washed by 23 is not a solid career arc. Besides, I'd rather see her develop more in NXT and have matches with Io Shirai and Dakota Kai and a returning Tegan Nox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
