Rhea Ripley teases a match with Bianca Belair, who seems up for the challenge.

At WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley won the SmackDown Women’s Championship by defeating Charlotte Flair, while Bianca Belair retained her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka.

On the April 3 episode of WWE Raw, Belair came to the ring and celebrated her win. She complimented Asuka and called her one of the best before she stated that the challenger pushed her to be “The EST.” Ripley interrupted and noted that Belair was lucky that she chose to challenge Flair for the title following her win in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match. She stated that she’d get back to Belair and face her eventually.

Belair responded by saying that she wants to face the best, and that includes Ripley. She then told the SmackDown Women’s Champion that she would face her when she was ready.
