Rhea Ripley is on Raw and ready for Asuka.

Following Asuka’s victory over Peyton Royce on WWE Raw, she was confronted by “The Nightmare” Rhea Ripley.

Ripley noted that Asuka seemed short on challengers for WrestleMania 37 before saying she wants Asuka for the Raw Women’s Title at the event.

Asuka accepted the challenge, saying Rhea is not ready for her.

WWE confirmed the match shortly after the segment. You can view the updated lineup for WrestleMania 37 by clicking here.

Though this marks Ripley’s official full-time move to WWE Raw, it is not her first appearance on WWE Raw. Ripley was featured weekly on the red brand while building her NXT Women’s Championship match against Charlotte Flair leading up to WrestleMania 36. She defeated Sarah Logan on the February 10, 2020 WWE Raw during her run of appearances.
