Rhea Ripley is almost guaranteed to retain her title at WWE WrestleMania XL, says veteran (Exclusive)

Despite Rhea Ripley gearing up to take on Becky Lynch at WWE WrestleMania XL, it is widely believed by a veteran that the outcome of the match is already a foregone conclusion.

Despite being a heel, The Eradicator has become a fan-favorite in the Stamford-based promotion due to her unmatched raw power and captivating character work. While Becky Lynch is also a prominent figure in the women’s division, veteran journalist Bill Apter believes that she will be unable to defeat Ripley at WrestleMania XL.

“Mami all the way. She is at the top of her game, I don’t even have to look at my predictions for this. Becky Lynch may be the Man, but Mami is probably one of the top female athletes in pro-wrestling in the last zillion years. She is the best, she is gonna win it.”[2:46 onwards]

In addition, Teddy Long, a WWE Hall of Famer, added:

“She is the best… I am gonna go with Rhea Ripley.”[3:10 onwards]

Former WWE Writer Predicts Becky Lynch to Turn Heel Against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania XL

According to Vince Russo, if he had been in charge of Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch’s booking at WrestleMania, he believes he could have successfully executed a double turn.

“I would keep it real real simple. I would have them have a hell of a match, knock-down-drag-out, and beat the cr*p out of each other, and Rhea Ripley go over and help Becky up, shake Becky’s hand, turn around and let Becky pearl harbor her and just turn Becky heel.”[9:25 onwards]
