Rhea Ripely defeated Charlotte Flair in an incredible match at WrestleMania 39 where fans were strongly behind Rhea. Ripley finally scored the pinfall ...

Still, Flair and Ripley were a weaker option to main event WrestleMania than more potent storylines during a piping-hot period for the company. This in spite of Ripley becoming the first woman to win the Royal Rumble from the No. Flair and Ripley’s tensions slowly built leading up to their WrestleMania match with limited physicality—a staple in the Triple H Era. Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley emerged as a favorite to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania, despite other options that were just as good, if not better. “Not solely relying on that, but I think you have two titans, two athletes who—regardless of their story or who have faced each other prior—are gonna put on a main event match solely on that, knowing that they're capable of the storytelling. Benefitting from The proverbial Bloodline dust, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were an even stronger option to main event Night 1.

'It's my time:' Rhea Ripley dethrones Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 (ClutchPoints)

After shooting her shot at the SmackDown Women's Champion as the Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley dethroned "The Queen" at WrestleMania.

But at WrestleMania 39, Flair was afforded a chance to prove whether or not she’s still the top woman in WWE, as she went up against a starving Rhea Ripley who wanted nothing more than to prove she’s the now. She’s won more world championships than any other woman in WWE history, has headlined “Premium Live Events” across the country, and will eventually join fellow WrestleMania performers Lita, Trish Stratus, and Rey Mysterio in the Hall of Fame when she decides to hang up her robes for good. Flair, to her credit, took part in one of the most hard-hitting matches in her career, taking shots to the head, a Rip Tide, and even a particularly brutal headshot to a turnbuckle that left her seemingly unconscious and ultimately set up for an avalanche Ripley Rip Tide for the 1-2-3.

WrestleMania: Rhea Ripley on being herself and Dominik Mysterio (Los Angeles Times)

Rhea Ripley seemed ascendant three years ago at WrestleMania, but she wasn't. Now she is in the main event of Night 1 at WrestleMania 39.

And I want them to know that it’s OK to be themselves and look how they want to look. I imagine that’s a blessing and a curse in some ways because, if you’re out in public, you’re just trying to have a day off. It’s just it’s been fun to watch his evolution and him grow into the Latino Heat that he is today. I think right now I would love to have Dom Dom induct me. I’m saying what I want to say and I’m doing what I want to do. And it’s really cool because that’s where a lot of people get connected to your character as well because they get to interact more with you since you’re not just focused on the camera. Because I want them to know that you don’t always have to please people in your life. But if I’m outside of work I’ll be nicer to them, and I’ll encourage them to do whatever they want, because obviously, I want people to feel comfortable in their own skin. Q: I’ve seen video of you at house shows where you interact with people along the aisle and like you know, your main character is trying to scare people or interact in different ways. And I think a lot of us grew in that period of time. And it’s funny, because that’s not just Rhea Ripley, but that’s me as a person. This time Ripley won the Royal Rumble and challenged Flair for the SmackDown women’s title in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania on Saturday.

The Judgment Day could experience a multitude of changes now that Rhea Ripley stands as the SmackDown Women's Champion after WWE WrestleMania 39.

Going forward, Zelina Vega could get a chance to settle the score with Ripley after suffering a loss on the blue brand a couple of weeks ago. Rhea Ripley, in the meantime, tormented The Mysterios with constant beatdowns before Dominik eventually sided with her. She formerly teamed up with Liv Morgan and was the tag team champion until Ripley snapped at their dysfunctional relationship. An integral part of the Judgment Day since its formation, Ripley's time with the faction was the advent of her heel gothic gimmick. Rhea Ripley's decision to fight Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 was a full-circle moment. She defeated Charlotte Flair after much back and forth, eventually ending with a thunderous Riptide from the top rope.

Rhea Ripley has said her aim is to make history after adding the SmackDown Women's Championship to the four other titles she has won in WWE.

Now I’m confident, but I also have the skill set to back it up. I think the main thing is I’ve grown up. I was NXT Women’s Champion, and Charlotte had just won the Royal Rumble, and I was like, “You know what, if she wants to challenge me, bring it.”
