As WWE’s top women’s wrestler Rhea Ripley continues her meteoric rise, her intense rivalry with Charlotte Flair is heating up. Following her historic win at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, Ripley is set to face off against Flair at WrestleMania 39. The three-year feud has been building in intensity, with both women eager to prove their dominance in the ring.
On a recent episode of Raw, Ripley announced that she would finally be facing Flair on SmackDown, but that encounter was overshadowed by a heated war of words between Dominik Mysterio and Charlotte. Charlotte delivered a subtle jab at Ripley, referencing her husband Andrade El Idolo, an AEW Superstar, and claiming that she has a “real Latino man at home who calls her Mami in a thick accent.” Her comment was a clear attempt to provoke Ripley, who has a real-life boyfriend, AEW Superstar Buddy Matthews.

Although Ripley has yet to respond directly to Charlotte’s jab, her absence from the tussle between Dominik and Flair suggests that she is choosing to protect her partner, Dominik, from Flair’s wrath. The tension between Ripley and Flair is palpable, and fans are eager to see how this rivalry unfolds at WrestleMania 39.
The anticipated showdown between Ripley and Flair promises to be an unforgettable clash of strength and cunning, with Ripley’s incredible athleticism pitted against Flair’s vast experience. With Ripley having made history by winning the Royal Rumble match from the number one spot, she will undoubtedly be looking to cement her reign at the top of the women’s division. However, Flair’s cunning and determination make her a formidable opponent, and it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.
