Rhea Ripley: The Eradicator’s Championship Reign and Recent WWE Challenges

25 December 2025 Wrestling

Championship Triumph on Netflix Premiere

Australian wrestling superstar Rhea Ripley has once again proven why she is regarded as one of the best female wrestlers in the world. Ripley regained the Women’s World Title on the Raw on Netflix premiere on Jan. 6, 2025, marking a significant moment in her illustrious career. This victory came after an intense feud with Liv Morgan and demonstrated Ripley’s resilience and determination to reclaim her position at the top of WWE’s women’s division.

The victory was particularly meaningful as As a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion, Ripley has dominated the WWE landscape in a way that we haven’t seen before. Her championship win on such a high-profile platform showcased her star power and ability to deliver in crucial moments.

Navigating Injury Challenges

Despite her championship success, Ripley has faced physical challenges throughout recent months. A major question surrounding her preparation has been the status of a broken nose she suffered during a WWE tour in Japan last month. The injury required her to wear a protective mask during matches, though she has continued to compete at the highest level. Most recently, Asuka sprayed her signature green mist into Ripley’s eyes last Monday and Sane followed it up with an In-Sane Elbow to her, leading to an intense rivalry with the Kabuki Warriors.

Current Feuds and Future Prospects

Ripley’s current storylines demonstrate the depth of WWE’s women’s division. Her alliance with IYO SKY and ongoing tensions with Asuka and Kairi Sane have created compelling television for fans. That brief moment was all Asuka needed to steal a roll-up and hand Ripley a rare singles loss on RAW, showing that even champions face unexpected setbacks.

As Women’s World Champion, Ripley carries a significant target on her back. Her partnership with Damian Priest as the ‘Terror Twins’ continues to be a major storyline, with both stars seeking redemption against their former Judgment Day allies. For WWE fans, Ripley’s combination of power, charisma, and in-ring skill ensures that her championship reign will remain must-see television as the 2025 season progresses.
