The Raw Women’s Champion Auska’s WrestleMania 37 opponent finally revealed on this week’s Monday Night Raw. The Nightmare Rhea Ripley made her Raw debut this week and challenged Asuka for a match at WrestleMania 37 with Raw Women’s Championship on line and the champ accepted it.
On the recent edition of After The Bell podcast, Corey Graves discussed about the Raw Women’s Title match at WrestleMania 37.
He stated that both superstars are dominate history at NXT, The Empress of Tomorrow undefeated at NXT and Rhea Ripley accomplished a lot in black and gold brand. This is going to be a generational clash between two former NXT Champions.
“Think about the significance that unfortunately may get lost amongst some fans or people who aren’t as familiar with Rhea Ripley and what she has accomplished. This is going to be a generational clash between NXT Women’s Champions. You have Asuka, who was undefeated (in NXT). She was literally the most dominant force in the women’s division of RAW, SmackDown, or NXT. Since she has come to Monday Night RAW, Asuka has obviously evolved.”
“Rhea Ripley has been the face of NXT for the majority of the past several years. Even if she hasn’t been the face, she has been in that mix. Of course, Io Shirai is at the top of that mountain right now. Ripley knocked off Shayna Baszler and went all the way up to WrestleMania last year. These are two women who took the NXT Women’s division on their backs which is what got them to Monday Night RAW, and now, they are going to the Grandest Stage of Them All. That is a pretty significant matchup.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
