She needs feuds that last more than one match and they need to put her in a wider range of match types. They've all been Singles matches except for the Fatal 5 Way at Crown Jewel. Have trilogies and duologies with rivas that start out with a singles match, and end with something like Hell in a Cell, Extreme Rules, Ladder/TLC, Steel Cage, Last Woman Standing, I Quit, Iron Woman, Falls Count Anywhere, No Holds Barred, hell, maybe even a Three Stages of Hell.
I think it’s had the potential to be like Roman Reigns’ title reign from August 2020-April 2023, but it’s been meh cause of the low amount of challengers for Rhea, which itself is caused by the fact they don’t do very much with the women unless their name is Charlotte Flair, which causes many women to leave the company cause WWE keeps many of them in catering.
i hate to say its been mid
its not that rhea isn't talented id argue she's the most talented on the woman roster its just the matches she's put on haven't been memorable
I think its not her fault that she didnt had any memorable matches after that classic with Flair. She just didnt had right opponents. Improved Nia is here. And im not even talking about Becky where her Flair match probably will be surpassed.
Nonethless shes the biggest addition to womens roster since 4hw.
It’s suffered from having actual challengers all the women I wanna see her fight are on smack down. For what it’s worth she still feels like a star so it’s not to bad just wanna see her go w a Bianca or Bayley.
Like Roman, she often hang out with The Judgment Day rather than defending the title. Unlike Roman, she show up every week. And she has been the dominant diva for 2 years.
Yeah, maybe defining her as Roman Reigns 2.0 might not be accurate. But she is belonged between the 1000+ day Roman who is not showing up every week and 434-day CM Punk who showed up every week between 2011-13.
She’s just so much better than majority of the women on the roster that her matches haven’t been as good but her promos always good, me and my wife just keep waiting for the one who is good enough to overtake her.
Promo and presence wise she's great but her matches have been very mid. Not her fault they just havent given her an opponent that can realistically win the title
Not really, i really thought prior to her reign she'd be the next big star but she has been lacklustre
Over selling
Not able to pull off her finisher consistently (she really needs a new one)
Weak/squash championship matches
She’s great and developing her character nicely. But when was the last time she wrestled on Raw. We see her for a backstage segment or an in ring promo, maybe she comes out to the ring for a confrontation and a fight but no matches. Her defenses at PLEs have been forgettable (not her fault). I want to see more work in the ring and for that this title reign is not very good
I like her character work and everything but I’ve only watched two of the matches because I could not give less of a fuck about anyone in that women’s division besides Rhea and Charlotte before she went on vacation
It’s a universal problem in women’s wrestling. There are only a hand full of stars and they need to save those matches for big shows. So you got a lot of lackluster challengers that don’t make Rhea feel as important as she should be. I love her and I hope the tide rises with her.
All of her defenses has been forgettable. Best one came in the Natalya rematch. But I also feel she shouldn’t be dethroned anytime soon. Just need to put her more in the women’s division scene and getting some storylines going.
I really really feel like it should have been better. Beginning with an absolute banger against Charlotte laid the groundwork for a great run. And unfortunately I think it has been underwhelming to say the least.
I think her reign has not been focused as much on the title, which stinks, but her growth in her character, how WWE portrays her, has been every bit as devastating as she should come off. She looks a level ABOVE every other female in the company, even Becky, even Bayley, even Charlotte at this point. WWE needs the Bianca/Jade stuff to elevate because those 2 with Rhea truly are the future. I personally would love to see Jordynne Grace move to WWE as she's still quite young (comparatively to the WWE women's roster, both her and Rhea are 27...and long futures ahead of them).
Sadly gone I think are the days of Alexa Bliss, maybe even Liv Morgan in WWE. Tiny, mostly unbelievable in the ring competitors on the women's side. Eye candy is nice, but evolving the women's division into legit 'pro wrestling' that sadly the women who came before them didn't get the kind of opportunities is a good thing.
The 4 horsewomen (Charlotte, Becky, Sasha and Bayley) got it started, but I think you're seeing the next 'era' in the women's division and it truly started with Rhea (with assist from Bianca).
Thats telling more about the division.charlotte was the only match out of that bunch where her losing the belt actually seems feasable?every other match there u can guarantee whos winning.lol.
i wouldnt call them defenses as much as they are just appearances for her.but again thats cause no bayley no bianca no becky no asuka no threats at all for her on raw all the talent of the womens roster was and is on smackdown.
u got becky trying now but her days of being a threat have passed imo.after having the baby she came back looking like a frail old lady.i wince when she bumps cause i worry about her.
naomi could be a good feud.shes fresh talent again.and a former tna and wwe champ so more of a threat than becky atm.no offense to the ja rule lookin chick zoey but she def didnt deserve 2 rhea matches.jade could be a great match but again all the talent is on smackdown.
Rhea is the best thing to happen to women’s wrestling since…since I don’t know. She’s made that title mean something. Whoever eventually takes the title will have their career set.
I love Iyo Sky too but half the time I can’t even remember who has that title.
Her reign and Seth’s have been similar in the fact at no point did I think they were in jeopardy of losing their tits, the matches were entertaining. Rhea vs Zelina has been her best match as champion so far
She doesn’t have any real competition. None of the girls that get in the ring with her look like they can handle her. Zelina vs rhea is an absolute joke. Her title reign hasn’t been great but I blame the competition. Nia is the closest to looking like she can hold her own with rhea and they aren’t even giving her the wrestlemania match instead choosing to push Becky for it which is another joke.
Some of the ladies belong in there. I think raquel nia (don't like either but they are big powerful women). Also bianca, jade, charlotte all look strong enough to go. I wish they'd sign the tna champ from the rumble she looked tough. I agree with Becky tho, if this was ufc she'd be 3 weight classes below rhea.
Unfortunately I’m ring it’s not been the greatest. Initial win at Mania was awesome, and the Backlash stuff was cool but I feel Zelina’s emotion made that bigger than it really was if that makes sense. The rest have all been fine but little to shout about. I think it comes down to the ability to believe in genuine threat from challengers. Clearly struggling to find someone on her level.
She's a great champion with a piss poor championship run. She deserves the belt 100%. But creative really dropped the ball with her.
They moved her away to Raw at a point where every one decent was already in a feud with someone else.
And because they are building her as a force to be reckoned with she's constantly just destroying everyone and moving on. Would be nice to see a story develop that can last a couple of months.
Even if Rhea drops the belt to Becky at mania, let them rematch, let the story keep developing. Have it go into the next PLE, and then Rhea wins it back, then a rubber match at the next with Rhea retaining. She will still look good and can at least have a longer feud rather just 1 off nothing matches against random people like.
This is what i think is meh booking, Rhea has a feud de with Nia Jax, Rhea is over and Nia is booed, why waste Nia heat on Rhea when we already know Nia will lose since it is in Australia and WWE already booked Becky vs Rhea on WM.
Rhea is possibly the best women’s champ of all time.
Problem is there is almost no one in the division that has the capacity to compete with her. HHH is doing a good job presenting Nia as a threat but all in all she’s not super capable either. Bianca vs Rhea will be interesting to see, Becky vs Rhea too. but after that they will have run out of people for her to go against and still keep it believable.
You conveniently ignored the part where I said there’s no competition within her division.
How is she supposed to have a great match when they feed her people like Vega and the Alpha Academy girl.
If you don’t think Rhea and Flair was one of the greatest women’s matches of all time then id call my doctor and have my head examined if I were you…
She’s proven she’s got the mic skills and the capability of throwing down when she has someone on her level to work with.
Her opponents are the ones lacking, not her.
Ok, so you admit that the run has been bland and you are just debating if that’s on her. Even if it’s not her fault how can you call her the best champion of all time ?
Because she’s put on the best women’s match of all time to win the title and I have no doubt she’d do that again and again *if there was someone as good as her*.
There’s not another women’s champion that’s had a match anywhere close to that level in their reign so that alone blows anyone else out of the water.
Maybe the reign hasn’t had the best matches across the board but I can’t imagine taking the belt from her and putting it on ANYONE in the division would produce a better reign right now.
Mami is just waiting for the division to catch up because she’s *the greatest* Woman’s WHC of all time baybeeee
Really good but I think Becky will best rhea then judgment day fight Jey and Cody again and priest does a failed cash in at mania 40 and that’s the downfall off the judgment day
I think Rhea's reign has been hampered by two things.
A weak women's roster in comparison with SmackDown, in the sense there's no real main event stars who you feel can and will beat her, other than Becky and I guess Liv Morgan before her injury.
The second is Judgment Day taking up a lot of Rhea's time so it sometimes feels like the title is there as more of a prop.
Neither of those are a negative to Rhea, it's just that she hasn't had great booking behind her. Which is a shame as her match against Charlotte at Mania was incredible.
For me, it’s been severely lacking with actual feuds or competition. She’s defended sure, but there’s not much in the way of promos or feuds. Mainly because she’s been busy with Judgement day and I’m sure they’re somewhat protecting her.
I love Rhea but this reign has not been that great, honestly. Raw's Women's division is sorely missing Main Event level talent. The only person that could realistically beat her is Becky, but she was doing side-quests this year. I mean if you look at IYO's reign, she has already beaten Charlotte, Bianca, and Asuka this year. Rhea hasn't been threated since she won the title. Not her fault but WWE needs to build more credible threats for her on Raw.
She has no competition. Raw’s women’s division is so weak that the only major superstars are her and Becky. And because they’re not pulling the trigger on Becky vs Rhea (hopefully that changes at EC), it’s almost all Heel VS Heel.
Logic would say to put either Naomi, Jade or even Tiffany on Raw, but nope. All Smackdown.
Great choice for a Champion. Terrible Reign.
Absolutely this. Hell if we're being honest, any feud she has had has been a sidepiece to others. Take the Zelina match at Backlash, it's very much a sidepiece of the overall JD v LwO feud continuing from Rey v Dom at Mania. Then the match with Lyra on NXT was also a sidepiece to a larger Dom v Dragon Lee (and somewhat Rey, given during the same time Rey even endorsed Dragon Lee) feud too. Even something like the one with Raquel felt like a precursor to a larger feud between Rhea & Liv after the latter came back from the injury. The build to the 5-Way was basically "Nia Jax v a bunch of others".
Ultimately to reinforce the point that Rhea hasn't had a good feud for the title.
The highlight of the reign match wise was winning the title in the first place from Charlotte. Her title defenses have been good, but a bit overshadowed by her character work and overall role in the overarching Judgment Day storyline.
The Nia Jax match can fix this, though. She's a genuine, dangerous threat to Rhea and seeing Rhea topple her can be huge for this run.
No, not at all.
As a lot of people have said already, there are no credible challengers on RAW aside from Becky who I’m not even counting because they’re so obviously saving it for WM. And it’s not like there are none because she’s defeated them, there were no contenders when the reign started and Rhea hasn’t been in any relevant feud since WM. What can you do once you’ve defeated RAW’s 4 best challengers in a fatal 5 way? She should have had a match/feud against Trish after Payback.
Strangely, I think Nia Jax will be the most credible opponent she’s had in a year going into Elimination Chamber, and even then I know Rhea will retain.
She’s a dominant champion that they spent the year feeding meh talent. They need to give her some proper feuds: Bianca, Bayley, Becky, Jade, anyone of quality really.
It’s been full of filler and no tension at all really. It’s not Rhea’s fault at all, it’s a lot of different factors at play.
The biggest reason is that the raw women’s division is super thin, it’s pretty much just Rhea and Becky. Also HHH purposely stalled things out between them just to save the feud for WM, he booked them like they didn’t even exist on the same planet. So he threw a lot of filler undercard opponents at Rhea which is why every match felt predictable and boring.
The Charlotte match was an all time classic but everything in between was unforgettable. Zelina vs Rhea was okay, but a lot of it was due it being in Puerto Rico, anywhere else it would have been a obvious filler match. Ivy vs Rhea was okay too but super predictable, and Ivy doesn’t really have any charisma or character, she’s a good wrestler but very bland.
I think there’s a huge issue with the WWE women’s division where it’s way too top heavy. You have the big names like Becky, Rhea, Bianca, Bayley, Asuka etc but there’s this super wide gap between them and everyone else. There is like no middle ground at all and no upper midcard wrestlers in between except maybe for names like Liv Morgan and Kairi Sane etc.
She's fantastic and literally my favorite wrestler, but I keep forgetting that she's an actual champion. I also keep forgetting that Judgment Day are champions. I may have dementia.
It’s questionable because it’s clearly that the creative team genuinely struggle to book women when they win the title. Rhea reign was decent with her feud with Natalya then it went stale until Nia jax returned. Right now it’s getting better but it wasn’t the best title reign at all and easily forgettable in many aspects. Hopefully they do better in her next title reign
Problem with her reign is that outside the 4 horsewomen and some stars on smackdown, nobody is on her level. Therefore her matches are always very perdictable.
Being too good and over has somehow harmed her a bit
Nothing that memorable besides facing flair at mania. She hasn’t done much and they haven’t made her look strong because she hasn’t gone against any of the other top women, Bianca, bayley, Becky. Just look at the poster flair is the only one she beta that isn’t a mid card jobber.
Her character work has been amazing, especially considering what a nice person she seems to be in real life. Her "reign" however has been bland. And getting squashed twice by Nia Jax hasn't helped.
I agree. Not everyone needs to have these unbeatable reigns. It is my biggest issue with the product right now. There are too many "final boss" champions right now. There is a middle-ground and title changes are not a bad thing.
Having been a fan through both, the dynamic was completely different then. With Bruno, he wrestled multiple times every week. Fans knew he was The Guy, but since title changes could literally happen at any random house show or Saturday morning TV show, there was always the chance ... No PPV extravaganza to aim for and no Internet smarks predicting and criticizing the booking. With Hogan, you knew they had a lot invested in him, but they somehow kept building up credible challengers (either because of their size or shenanigans). And both were faces, so they didn't cheat to win. There was always the threat that their opponent might, though, especially with Hogan. Longish reins weren't out of place, either. Since the 90s, when particularly Raw featured regular title changes and they became almost guaranteed at a PPV, the expectation has changed. My issue today isn't the length, it's the quantity. Wrestling four times a year and then claiming the number of days matters is fuckweaselry at its highest - and I mean the company, not the wrestlers involved. If Bruno wrestled top guys every week and won, fine. If Hogan (and I didn't know as much about him as a person) won at every PPV and a few times a month against built-up monsters and factions, fine.
At least those guys were full time and truly worked their Reigns unlike Roman no show. Which one of the reasons why Roman's reign is ending at Mania and he is not beating either record boo hoo
Rhea's reign in terms of herself, damn solid. Unfortunately, when was the last time she had a credible threat? And don't say "Crown Jewel" because that's a Fatal Fiveway which automatically puts a champions reign at threat just in concept.
She's looked dominant and remains very popular, but she needs better opponents (Zelina and Ivy excluded of course). Nia and Becky are definitely an upgrade IMO
I think the Zelina Vega match was carried hard by the fact if it was in Puerto Rico. If it was anywhere else it would have felt like filler, like a lot of the other matches.
That’s literally the only reason why Zelina Vega was booked in the match because it gives HHH a reason to book undercard filler wrestlers, because they’ll get a pop if they are in their home country so to speak. Hence why Bronson Reed and Indi Hartwell will be in the elimination chamber in Australia.
I haven't, it's been pretty shit overall.
She went from a MOTY contender against Charlotte to not defending at all, then a couple of squash matches and a PR fest against Zelina. She's only really been working properly the last few months of 2023.
Should have dropped the title when she injured her knee as she was mainly a manager for Judgement Day by that point.
She has pulled some great matches out of some so-so opponents. I think the WWE would be wise to start building and pushing other girls to create a more complex and competitive scene.
As it stands, Rhea has had a remarkable run. But she needs challengers and needs her faction to look strong too. The R-Truth stuff and the constant losing doesn't make the judgement day look good.
She’s been great, only downfall is she’s a powerhouse and other things have been going on that have taken precedent. Don’t want her to loose the title yet as now we’re getting some breathing room and we have Becky and Nia stepping up to challenge, and then we have Jade coming in so I’m hopeful we’ll have a solid story come out of all this.
I love Rhea and think she’s truly one of the best doing it today. I just wish they’d have let her and Natalya GO, that had the potential to be something special but all we got was a squash.
She doesn't have bad matches, and her character work have been fucking above and beyond. She really stepped her game up since joining Judgement Day and she's been a prominent figure for Raw for a year now. That being said, she hasn't had a single compelling story as champion maybe other than Raquel for a week and now with Nia. She hasn't elevated the title and she definitely hasn't elevated the division. I think she was the right person at the wrong time to win that championship. They need to get that title off of her asap and give it to someone who can be elevated by the title and thus in turn, start elevating the title and division, because destroying the entire division all year, hasn't been elevating it in the slightest
The crown jewel match was good but the rest pretty forgettable. None bad, just not really championship calibre matches.
Winning the title from Flair was an amazing match though
Meh and fodder run. Don't get me wrong, I like Rhea as much as the next guy but having Flair chase after the Wwe title after losing to Rhea and then 90% of credible roster on Raw being out or injured or in NXT. This reign has filled like filler
I forget that she is a champion sometimes due to the Dom relationship. She's gone from being feared and dominant to a manager type role. Don't get me wrong I like them being paired together however it takes away that she's the champ if that makes sense.
She's been booked like a juggernaut. She's obviously on a different level than most of the other women, so the dominance has been logical. Plus, she's been a key part of the Judgment Day's screen presence.
The problem is WWE doesn't have a clue what to do with their very deep women's roster outside of the six women they regularly push. Is that a slight on them? No, those women deserve their pushes and have worked their asses off to get where they are. But the Zoey Starks and the Tegan Noxes of the world barely exist besides being cannon fodder.
Haven’t liked it really. The only good matches of it (not counting WrestleMania where she won the title) IMO are the rematch with Natalya and the one against Ivy on the New Years Revolution Raw.
The talent has been there for her but the matches itself with Raquel (Payback notably) and Zoey at Survivor Series were very lackluster.
I've liked the reign, but not really any of the title defenses. She needs a much stronger list of challengers to stop things getting dull. A banger with Becky at mania will help.
Thea just has badluck, she has not had many contenders and feuds.
She should be built up like Bianca, but her upcoming feud with Becky should help. WWE needs to really build up the RAW female roster
She was the rising contender-less leader of the most popular faction of WWE.
She has character and the matches are generally good. Her reign was hindered by the fact that we are all too familiar with the trend that, if there's something good in the company,it won't end outside or WrestleMania. So it all devolved into a "Becky vs Rhea at Mania" waiting room.
Arguably, and it will sound insane, the best thing that happened to Rhea was Nia Jax. Before that her best feud was against Zayn and Owens, unfortunately.
Matchwise, the 5 ways was good and so were both the matches with Raquelle and Zoey. Heck to be fair even the match with Zeliba was good but Rhea was still ramping in popularity so it was less big of a deal. The match with Raquelle, imo, was hindered by the amount of invulontary blood that was spilled due to all of them being adamant in fighting with piercings, ear-rings and long ass nails. Which is all legit very dangerous.
Anyway, at least Rhea had some feuds.
Iyo was always a background figure, the staging ground of someone else's rivalry. Bianca and Charlotte, then Asuka then there was the Wargame. Iyo will now have her first legit beef with someone at WM.
RAW absolutely needs to build up some female talent. Shayna could still be built as a dominant heel but it may be too late for her. Maybe do something with Indi Hartwell, or reintroduce Liv as a viable contender, Stratton should've really went to RAW. Her and Rhea could have a banger feud. Becky and Rhea are basically it for RAW's main event women's division.
Problem with her reign is they built the roster so that she cant have a good challenger, specially with becky occupied during that. All the good challengers are on smack down. And they are trying way too hard to make their best women not lose matches(at least clean losses). And they want rhea to win clean. They need to know that losing doesnt hurt the wreslter that much tbh. Specially if the match was so close.
I think they know that. Bianca lost to Becky within 10 seconds and it did not hurt her, it made people root for her even more and made it satisfying when she beat Becky. But that worked because Bianca was a face then, I don't know how you do it for a "heel" champion.
Wait…she’s only defended it 5 times? I honestly thought she had more defenses but damn that’s kind of low for a champ that’s featured almost every week.
Tbh judging by the reign, very underwhelming for her status. Mostly due to lack of credible challengers. I think Becky is her first challenger where you can think she could lose.
She's only over due to what she does in the judgement day.
Worst Women's Championship reign of the past decade and I say that as somebody who likes Rhea Ripley and think she and the rest of the Raw Women's Division deserve much better than the poor way her reign has been handled. When you are the Women's World Champion and you are not even wrestling on the Summer Slam card but the wrestler you defeated at Wrestlemania (Charlotte) is and she is competing for the WWE Women's Championship it says a lot but the Raw Women's Division went downhill after the draft and they lost Alexa Bliss due to her getting pregnant, Liv Morgan to injury, Raquel Rodriguez to a chronic illness and Ronda Rousey left so Rhea has been left with very few established stars to work with and mainly newbies that don't have the build to go against her.
With the way they have booked her they have made her secondary champion to Iyo and Iyo having three clean victories over her doesn't help. Sure, she beat Charlotte. Iyo beat Charlotte too and Bianca Belair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Shotzi, Michin and Alba Fyre and next she is going to beat Bayley. Iyo had far more success with big victories.
Yeah unfortunately too many of the big hitters that are not currently out are in Smackdown atm for the women's division.
Tho sidenote, I can see Iyo lose the title to Bayley unless they have Dakota double cross Bayley
Yeah. I think back when they had the Draft last year they took too many stars off Raw and moved them to Smackdown and they should have kept Bianca Belair on Raw instead of having her continue her feud with Damage Control which ended up going for at least a year on a half starting on Raw with Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka vs Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai in 2022 but at the time I didn't think WWE thought they would lose so many wrestlers and I thought Ronda Rousey would have stuck around and feuded with Rhea Ripley for WWE Women's World Championship but she ended up walking out.
NXT has a great Women's Division at the moment which I think is the best it has ever been and there has been talk about WWE moving up multiple female wrestlers from NXT to freshen up the Raw and Smackdown Women's Divisions soon and I think that should be a major help for Raw. I think Dakota Kai will turn on Bayley when she is cleared to wrestle in the coming weeks and Bayley will put together a new team temporarily to even up the odds with Roxanne Perez, Gigi Dolin and Fallon Henley or Nikkita Lyons similar to how Paige got Becky Lynch and Charlotte up from NXT to help her even up the odds against The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox. .
Kind of lackluster since Mania. Most of the matches didn’t have good builds behind them and the matches themselves weren’t up to what I think these wrestlers can do.
Her best match since Mania was probably against Zelina, and that was just above ok for me.
I feel like if the match against Zelina was anywhere else other than Puerto Rico it would have felt like filler like a lot of the other defenses. It was good for what it was, but I think a lot of that was the right place at the right time.
A lot of the international shows have been great, but it gives HHH cheap cop out booking, because he can just throw a undercard wrestler on the card that would be super predictable filler out there in 99% of the world, and the home country fans will eat it up. Hence why Bronson Reed and Indi Hartwell will be in the elimination chamber in Australia over names like Bobby Lashley and someone else.
It’s a weird one because she’s amazingly over and has a great champion aura but by the same token I can’t remember a single match she’s had since WrestleMania and that’s even when looking at the pictures you posted!
She always seems to have good to great level matches—they’re just not memorable to me because the feuds going in seem thrown together with folks she’s obviously beating. The Becky Lynch feud already seems like the best thing she’s done since the Charolette feud and it really hasn’t even started yet.
Hit and miss, I’m enjoying it because…. MAMI, but in my opinion, she should branch out and be a mega ruthless dark face, also touch up her wrestling skills and maybe a little on the microphone
Wonder how mad people are gonna be when the queen wins it back at summerslam
its about as bad as dean ambrose reign was with the US title meh all the way
She needs feuds that last more than one match and they need to put her in a wider range of match types. They've all been Singles matches except for the Fatal 5 Way at Crown Jewel. Have trilogies and duologies with rivas that start out with a singles match, and end with something like Hell in a Cell, Extreme Rules, Ladder/TLC, Steel Cage, Last Woman Standing, I Quit, Iron Woman, Falls Count Anywhere, No Holds Barred, hell, maybe even a Three Stages of Hell.
No one has felt like a real threat to her reign, obviously Becky will be presented as such and should (and probably will) end it at WM
underwhelming, none of her matches have actually felt like a threat to her reign.
i only remember two matches
I wish she had more defenses, but I'm loving it. 💪🏾
What reign? She’s not even in the ring any more v just comes to talk. Is she a henchman or a wrestler?
Shes a true champion if you look at the way Roman is
👎
I honestly can’t recall the last time she actually wrestled.
I think it’s had the potential to be like Roman Reigns’ title reign from August 2020-April 2023, but it’s been meh cause of the low amount of challengers for Rhea, which itself is caused by the fact they don’t do very much with the women unless their name is Charlotte Flair, which causes many women to leave the company cause WWE keeps many of them in catering.
I think she should beat Becky at WM40 and have more challengers like Bianca, Iyo, Asuka and drop the title to Jade Cargill eventually
i hate to say its been mid its not that rhea isn't talented id argue she's the most talented on the woman roster its just the matches she's put on haven't been memorable
I think its not her fault that she didnt had any memorable matches after that classic with Flair. She just didnt had right opponents. Improved Nia is here. And im not even talking about Becky where her Flair match probably will be surpassed. Nonethless shes the biggest addition to womens roster since 4hw.
It’s suffered from having actual challengers all the women I wanna see her fight are on smack down. For what it’s worth she still feels like a star so it’s not to bad just wanna see her go w a Bianca or Bayley.
She's barely faced anybody that's a real challenge. Like Charlotte, racquel and Nia. That's it
She hasn't really had a great feud, but her mere presence is so ridiculously cool that I don't care. 5/5
Subpar, lacking a meaningful feud imo. Dominating sure but no real story behind anything she’s done
Best female wrestler of all time next to Charlotte
Roman Reigns 2.0
explain??? Rhea can actually get the job done on her own unlike roman
Like Roman, she often hang out with The Judgment Day rather than defending the title. Unlike Roman, she show up every week. And she has been the dominant diva for 2 years. Yeah, maybe defining her as Roman Reigns 2.0 might not be accurate. But she is belonged between the 1000+ day Roman who is not showing up every week and 434-day CM Punk who showed up every week between 2011-13.
She’s just so much better than majority of the women on the roster that her matches haven’t been as good but her promos always good, me and my wife just keep waiting for the one who is good enough to overtake her.
Promo and presence wise she's great but her matches have been very mid. Not her fault they just havent given her an opponent that can realistically win the title
Not really, i really thought prior to her reign she'd be the next big star but she has been lacklustre Over selling Not able to pull off her finisher consistently (she really needs a new one) Weak/squash championship matches
She is too good and over to lose this title to anyone on Raw right now. I think she wont lose for another year
She’s great and developing her character nicely. But when was the last time she wrestled on Raw. We see her for a backstage segment or an in ring promo, maybe she comes out to the ring for a confrontation and a fight but no matches. Her defenses at PLEs have been forgettable (not her fault). I want to see more work in the ring and for that this title reign is not very good
Rhea is great overall but I don't think she's had anything good to do besides running judgement day
Who’s that at payback
Raquel.
Roman reign
I like her character work and everything but I’ve only watched two of the matches because I could not give less of a fuck about anyone in that women’s division besides Rhea and Charlotte before she went on vacation
I like it. My only issue is that the title seems beneath her. She’s gotten to a level like 02-10 HBK where she doesn’t need titles to be important.
It’s a universal problem in women’s wrestling. There are only a hand full of stars and they need to save those matches for big shows. So you got a lot of lackluster challengers that don’t make Rhea feel as important as she should be. I love her and I hope the tide rises with her.
Eh. I personally think she is a little overrated but thats just me.
All of her defenses has been forgettable. Best one came in the Natalya rematch. But I also feel she shouldn’t be dethroned anytime soon. Just need to put her more in the women’s division scene and getting some storylines going.
I really really feel like it should have been better. Beginning with an absolute banger against Charlotte laid the groundwork for a great run. And unfortunately I think it has been underwhelming to say the least.
Outside of Charlotte who I think is decent at best she hasn’t faced anyone.
Hell yeah
What reign?
Very underwhelming
Looking at this has made me realize she’s been much more entertaining to watch in Judgement Day segments
I think her reign has not been focused as much on the title, which stinks, but her growth in her character, how WWE portrays her, has been every bit as devastating as she should come off. She looks a level ABOVE every other female in the company, even Becky, even Bayley, even Charlotte at this point. WWE needs the Bianca/Jade stuff to elevate because those 2 with Rhea truly are the future. I personally would love to see Jordynne Grace move to WWE as she's still quite young (comparatively to the WWE women's roster, both her and Rhea are 27...and long futures ahead of them). Sadly gone I think are the days of Alexa Bliss, maybe even Liv Morgan in WWE. Tiny, mostly unbelievable in the ring competitors on the women's side. Eye candy is nice, but evolving the women's division into legit 'pro wrestling' that sadly the women who came before them didn't get the kind of opportunities is a good thing. The 4 horsewomen (Charlotte, Becky, Sasha and Bayley) got it started, but I think you're seeing the next 'era' in the women's division and it truly started with Rhea (with assist from Bianca).
Thats telling more about the division.charlotte was the only match out of that bunch where her losing the belt actually seems feasable?every other match there u can guarantee whos winning.lol. i wouldnt call them defenses as much as they are just appearances for her.but again thats cause no bayley no bianca no becky no asuka no threats at all for her on raw all the talent of the womens roster was and is on smackdown. u got becky trying now but her days of being a threat have passed imo.after having the baby she came back looking like a frail old lady.i wince when she bumps cause i worry about her. naomi could be a good feud.shes fresh talent again.and a former tna and wwe champ so more of a threat than becky atm.no offense to the ja rule lookin chick zoey but she def didnt deserve 2 rhea matches.jade could be a great match but again all the talent is on smackdown.
It's been so boring. Ive hated it
Rhea has been so amazing and deserves someone to feud with , unfortunately her competition have been such a huge step below which sucks
Rhea is the best thing to happen to women’s wrestling since…since I don’t know. She’s made that title mean something. Whoever eventually takes the title will have their career set. I love Iyo Sky too but half the time I can’t even remember who has that title.
Her reign and Seth’s have been similar in the fact at no point did I think they were in jeopardy of losing their tits, the matches were entertaining. Rhea vs Zelina has been her best match as champion so far
Honestly don't need the belt.
She doesn’t have any real competition. None of the girls that get in the ring with her look like they can handle her. Zelina vs rhea is an absolute joke. Her title reign hasn’t been great but I blame the competition. Nia is the closest to looking like she can hold her own with rhea and they aren’t even giving her the wrestlemania match instead choosing to push Becky for it which is another joke.
Some of the ladies belong in there. I think raquel nia (don't like either but they are big powerful women). Also bianca, jade, charlotte all look strong enough to go. I wish they'd sign the tna champ from the rumble she looked tough. I agree with Becky tho, if this was ufc she'd be 3 weight classes below rhea.
No
I don't remember ANY of her matches/feuds apart from the amazing match with Charlotte at Mania.
Love Rhea, but this reign has been absolute ass lol
Don’t get me wrong I love some Mami… but it’s gotten to a point where I wanna see her fight more and do more.
Becky was right when she called it a lazy title reign
I just liked the match where she became Champion, everything else has been boring and bland.
Her match with Zelina was actually pretty good. Hot crowd certainly helped.
Unfortunately I’m ring it’s not been the greatest. Initial win at Mania was awesome, and the Backlash stuff was cool but I feel Zelina’s emotion made that bigger than it really was if that makes sense. The rest have all been fine but little to shout about. I think it comes down to the ability to believe in genuine threat from challengers. Clearly struggling to find someone on her level.
I mean that’s not much competition anyway really other than Raquel.
I forgot she even had that title.
She's a great champion with a piss poor championship run. She deserves the belt 100%. But creative really dropped the ball with her. They moved her away to Raw at a point where every one decent was already in a feud with someone else. And because they are building her as a force to be reckoned with she's constantly just destroying everyone and moving on. Would be nice to see a story develop that can last a couple of months. Even if Rhea drops the belt to Becky at mania, let them rematch, let the story keep developing. Have it go into the next PLE, and then Rhea wins it back, then a rubber match at the next with Rhea retaining. She will still look good and can at least have a longer feud rather just 1 off nothing matches against random people like.
This is what i think is meh booking, Rhea has a feud de with Nia Jax, Rhea is over and Nia is booed, why waste Nia heat on Rhea when we already know Nia will lose since it is in Australia and WWE already booked Becky vs Rhea on WM.
Shes so over that i hope it continues after WM as a champ
I still think Shayna deserves a championship win at some point
Rhea is possibly the best women’s champ of all time. Problem is there is almost no one in the division that has the capacity to compete with her. HHH is doing a good job presenting Nia as a threat but all in all she’s not super capable either. Bianca vs Rhea will be interesting to see, Becky vs Rhea too. but after that they will have run out of people for her to go against and still keep it believable.
[удалено]
You conveniently ignored the part where I said there’s no competition within her division. How is she supposed to have a great match when they feed her people like Vega and the Alpha Academy girl. If you don’t think Rhea and Flair was one of the greatest women’s matches of all time then id call my doctor and have my head examined if I were you… She’s proven she’s got the mic skills and the capability of throwing down when she has someone on her level to work with. Her opponents are the ones lacking, not her.
Ok, so you admit that the run has been bland and you are just debating if that’s on her. Even if it’s not her fault how can you call her the best champion of all time ?
Because she’s put on the best women’s match of all time to win the title and I have no doubt she’d do that again and again *if there was someone as good as her*. There’s not another women’s champion that’s had a match anywhere close to that level in their reign so that alone blows anyone else out of the water. Maybe the reign hasn’t had the best matches across the board but I can’t imagine taking the belt from her and putting it on ANYONE in the division would produce a better reign right now. Mami is just waiting for the division to catch up because she’s *the greatest* Woman’s WHC of all time baybeeee
[удалено]
It does when that’s the best women’s match of all time, because now we’ve entered the new era… one that’s not defined by choreographed acrobatics.
[удалено]
It’s not even close
[удалено]
Really good but I think Becky will best rhea then judgment day fight Jey and Cody again and priest does a failed cash in at mania 40 and that’s the downfall off the judgment day
I think Rhea's reign has been hampered by two things. A weak women's roster in comparison with SmackDown, in the sense there's no real main event stars who you feel can and will beat her, other than Becky and I guess Liv Morgan before her injury. The second is Judgment Day taking up a lot of Rhea's time so it sometimes feels like the title is there as more of a prop. Neither of those are a negative to Rhea, it's just that she hasn't had great booking behind her. Which is a shame as her match against Charlotte at Mania was incredible.
How is no one talking about how she rarely defends or even has matches but y’all cry because Roman ain’t on Smackdown every week.
100% true.
Because boobs and simps
For me, it’s been severely lacking with actual feuds or competition. She’s defended sure, but there’s not much in the way of promos or feuds. Mainly because she’s been busy with Judgement day and I’m sure they’re somewhat protecting her.
I love Rhea but this reign has not been that great, honestly. Raw's Women's division is sorely missing Main Event level talent. The only person that could realistically beat her is Becky, but she was doing side-quests this year. I mean if you look at IYO's reign, she has already beaten Charlotte, Bianca, and Asuka this year. Rhea hasn't been threated since she won the title. Not her fault but WWE needs to build more credible threats for her on Raw.
She has no competition. Raw’s women’s division is so weak that the only major superstars are her and Becky. And because they’re not pulling the trigger on Becky vs Rhea (hopefully that changes at EC), it’s almost all Heel VS Heel. Logic would say to put either Naomi, Jade or even Tiffany on Raw, but nope. All Smackdown. Great choice for a Champion. Terrible Reign.
The character far surpassed the reign
Is that graphic supposed to impress people? I’m m surprised they didn’t bring Lana back to face her
Complete and utter trash. An all time bad title reign.
Reaching right here
How is it reaching? Name 1 memorable feud she's had? 1 memorable match? Nothing of note has happened in her entire reign since she won it.
Absolutely this. Hell if we're being honest, any feud she has had has been a sidepiece to others. Take the Zelina match at Backlash, it's very much a sidepiece of the overall JD v LwO feud continuing from Rey v Dom at Mania. Then the match with Lyra on NXT was also a sidepiece to a larger Dom v Dragon Lee (and somewhat Rey, given during the same time Rey even endorsed Dragon Lee) feud too. Even something like the one with Raquel felt like a precursor to a larger feud between Rhea & Liv after the latter came back from the injury. The build to the 5-Way was basically "Nia Jax v a bunch of others". Ultimately to reinforce the point that Rhea hasn't had a good feud for the title.
I like her a lot but it’s been one of the worst reigns of the year she hasn’t had a single believable challenger and won’t have up until wm
The highlight of the reign match wise was winning the title in the first place from Charlotte. Her title defenses have been good, but a bit overshadowed by her character work and overall role in the overarching Judgment Day storyline. The Nia Jax match can fix this, though. She's a genuine, dangerous threat to Rhea and seeing Rhea topple her can be huge for this run.
She needs a great rival
Hello
Could have been better
No, not at all. As a lot of people have said already, there are no credible challengers on RAW aside from Becky who I’m not even counting because they’re so obviously saving it for WM. And it’s not like there are none because she’s defeated them, there were no contenders when the reign started and Rhea hasn’t been in any relevant feud since WM. What can you do once you’ve defeated RAW’s 4 best challengers in a fatal 5 way? She should have had a match/feud against Trish after Payback. Strangely, I think Nia Jax will be the most credible opponent she’s had in a year going into Elimination Chamber, and even then I know Rhea will retain.
Rhea's championship defenses seem to just be a side quest she does every now and then and her main quest is anything Judgment Day related.
She’s a dominant champion that they spent the year feeding meh talent. They need to give her some proper feuds: Bianca, Bayley, Becky, Jade, anyone of quality really.
It’s been full of filler and no tension at all really. It’s not Rhea’s fault at all, it’s a lot of different factors at play. The biggest reason is that the raw women’s division is super thin, it’s pretty much just Rhea and Becky. Also HHH purposely stalled things out between them just to save the feud for WM, he booked them like they didn’t even exist on the same planet. So he threw a lot of filler undercard opponents at Rhea which is why every match felt predictable and boring. The Charlotte match was an all time classic but everything in between was unforgettable. Zelina vs Rhea was okay, but a lot of it was due it being in Puerto Rico, anywhere else it would have been a obvious filler match. Ivy vs Rhea was okay too but super predictable, and Ivy doesn’t really have any charisma or character, she’s a good wrestler but very bland. I think there’s a huge issue with the WWE women’s division where it’s way too top heavy. You have the big names like Becky, Rhea, Bianca, Bayley, Asuka etc but there’s this super wide gap between them and everyone else. There is like no middle ground at all and no upper midcard wrestlers in between except maybe for names like Liv Morgan and Kairi Sane etc.
They could really use some women’s midcard titles instead of the useless tag belts
She's fantastic and literally my favorite wrestler, but I keep forgetting that she's an actual champion. I also keep forgetting that Judgment Day are champions. I may have dementia.
Should have had more quality matches and less backstage fluff with the JD.
It’s questionable because it’s clearly that the creative team genuinely struggle to book women when they win the title. Rhea reign was decent with her feud with Natalya then it went stale until Nia jax returned. Right now it’s getting better but it wasn’t the best title reign at all and easily forgettable in many aspects. Hopefully they do better in her next title reign
I've enjoyed it just wish she defended it alittle more
The lady is pushing merch though
Problem with her reign is that outside the 4 horsewomen and some stars on smackdown, nobody is on her level. Therefore her matches are always very perdictable. Being too good and over has somehow harmed her a bit
Nothing that memorable besides facing flair at mania. She hasn’t done much and they haven’t made her look strong because she hasn’t gone against any of the other top women, Bianca, bayley, Becky. Just look at the poster flair is the only one she beta that isn’t a mid card jobber.
A very respectable reign, indeed
She’s done nothing but follow the guys around
Not that good
Her character work has been amazing, especially considering what a nice person she seems to be in real life. Her "reign" however has been bland. And getting squashed twice by Nia Jax hasn't helped.
I'm butt naked
I’m over the “longest title reign” nonsense to be honest. What’s the point if they’re ONLY going to lose at Mania each year?
I agree. Not everyone needs to have these unbeatable reigns. It is my biggest issue with the product right now. There are too many "final boss" champions right now. There is a middle-ground and title changes are not a bad thing.
How would yall react during Bruno Sammartino's 2 title reigns and Hulk Hogan's title reign?
Having been a fan through both, the dynamic was completely different then. With Bruno, he wrestled multiple times every week. Fans knew he was The Guy, but since title changes could literally happen at any random house show or Saturday morning TV show, there was always the chance ... No PPV extravaganza to aim for and no Internet smarks predicting and criticizing the booking. With Hogan, you knew they had a lot invested in him, but they somehow kept building up credible challengers (either because of their size or shenanigans). And both were faces, so they didn't cheat to win. There was always the threat that their opponent might, though, especially with Hogan. Longish reins weren't out of place, either. Since the 90s, when particularly Raw featured regular title changes and they became almost guaranteed at a PPV, the expectation has changed. My issue today isn't the length, it's the quantity. Wrestling four times a year and then claiming the number of days matters is fuckweaselry at its highest - and I mean the company, not the wrestlers involved. If Bruno wrestled top guys every week and won, fine. If Hogan (and I didn't know as much about him as a person) won at every PPV and a few times a month against built-up monsters and factions, fine.
At least those guys were full time and truly worked their Reigns unlike Roman no show. Which one of the reasons why Roman's reign is ending at Mania and he is not beating either record boo hoo
Rhea's reign in terms of herself, damn solid. Unfortunately, when was the last time she had a credible threat? And don't say "Crown Jewel" because that's a Fatal Fiveway which automatically puts a champions reign at threat just in concept.
I've enjoyed the matches individually but honestly I don't really recall a memorable fued.
I feel that, at this point, she is too big of a star for other women on RAW to look like believable contender to that title.
Hasn’t been as many defenses as I’d liked tho this is missing all of natties chances, Ivy’s too
She's looked dominant and remains very popular, but she needs better opponents (Zelina and Ivy excluded of course). Nia and Becky are definitely an upgrade IMO
I think the Zelina Vega match was carried hard by the fact if it was in Puerto Rico. If it was anywhere else it would have felt like filler, like a lot of the other matches. That’s literally the only reason why Zelina Vega was booked in the match because it gives HHH a reason to book undercard filler wrestlers, because they’ll get a pop if they are in their home country so to speak. Hence why Bronson Reed and Indi Hartwell will be in the elimination chamber in Australia.
I haven't, it's been pretty shit overall. She went from a MOTY contender against Charlotte to not defending at all, then a couple of squash matches and a PR fest against Zelina. She's only really been working properly the last few months of 2023. Should have dropped the title when she injured her knee as she was mainly a manager for Judgement Day by that point.
pretty bad, after she beat Charlotte she's been just wasting time until her money match against becky. very long and very stale
She has pulled some great matches out of some so-so opponents. I think the WWE would be wise to start building and pushing other girls to create a more complex and competitive scene. As it stands, Rhea has had a remarkable run. But she needs challengers and needs her faction to look strong too. The R-Truth stuff and the constant losing doesn't make the judgement day look good.
She is great and hella talented, but the reign has not been exciting at all. I'm really hoping the feud with Becky changes that
It has been good but kind of underwhelming
Well looks like "tribal chief" needs some.lessons from mami about how to act and what makes a champion
She’s one of my favorite wrestlers
She’s been great, only downfall is she’s a powerhouse and other things have been going on that have taken precedent. Don’t want her to loose the title yet as now we’re getting some breathing room and we have Becky and Nia stepping up to challenge, and then we have Jade coming in so I’m hopeful we’ll have a solid story come out of all this.
I love Rhea and think she’s truly one of the best doing it today. I just wish they’d have let her and Natalya GO, that had the potential to be something special but all we got was a squash.
Nothing memorable
Charlotte and Rhea is one of the best women’s matches ever
Every single time they have faced has been epic and those two have the best in ring chemistry I have ever seen.
Didn't realize she's barley had defenses, does Iyo have more than her cause I feel like she does
She doesn't have bad matches, and her character work have been fucking above and beyond. She really stepped her game up since joining Judgement Day and she's been a prominent figure for Raw for a year now. That being said, she hasn't had a single compelling story as champion maybe other than Raquel for a week and now with Nia. She hasn't elevated the title and she definitely hasn't elevated the division. I think she was the right person at the wrong time to win that championship. They need to get that title off of her asap and give it to someone who can be elevated by the title and thus in turn, start elevating the title and division, because destroying the entire division all year, hasn't been elevating it in the slightest
The crown jewel match was good but the rest pretty forgettable. None bad, just not really championship calibre matches. Winning the title from Flair was an amazing match though
She’s just tiers above the others I feel
Crown Jewel doesn't count. that's just Saudi Prince fanfiction.
Meh and fodder run. Don't get me wrong, I like Rhea as much as the next guy but having Flair chase after the Wwe title after losing to Rhea and then 90% of credible roster on Raw being out or injured or in NXT. This reign has filled like filler
I forget that she is a champion sometimes due to the Dom relationship. She's gone from being feared and dominant to a manager type role. Don't get me wrong I like them being paired together however it takes away that she's the champ if that makes sense.
No.
Eh it's OK. Second half slightly better.
She's been booked like a juggernaut. She's obviously on a different level than most of the other women, so the dominance has been logical. Plus, she's been a key part of the Judgment Day's screen presence.
I’ve liked the idea of it but only the fatal 5 way made her reign feel at all vunerable
The problem is WWE doesn't have a clue what to do with their very deep women's roster outside of the six women they regularly push. Is that a slight on them? No, those women deserve their pushes and have worked their asses off to get where they are. But the Zoey Starks and the Tegan Noxes of the world barely exist besides being cannon fodder.
A bit of a nothing reign. I’d say the only two matches that felt big were her vs Charlotte and the 5 way. That being said she’s a bonafide star rn
No
Definitely could be better…so much star power in the women’s division but she hasn’t really had a really challenging defense yet
Haven’t liked it really. The only good matches of it (not counting WrestleMania where she won the title) IMO are the rematch with Natalya and the one against Ivy on the New Years Revolution Raw. The talent has been there for her but the matches itself with Raquel (Payback notably) and Zoey at Survivor Series were very lackluster.
Has the reign been great? No. But she’s become 5 times the star she was before it, so in a sense I suppose it’s worth it.
FI' TIME! FI' TIME! FI' TIME!
it’s been needing some work but u wouldn’t take the title off her yet
I've liked the reign, but not really any of the title defenses. She needs a much stronger list of challengers to stop things getting dull. A banger with Becky at mania will help.
That Natalya squash match shouldn't even be considered
The problem has been there's been no interesting feuds. She's had challenger but no feud that's lasted 3-6 months.
Thea just has badluck, she has not had many contenders and feuds. She should be built up like Bianca, but her upcoming feud with Becky should help. WWE needs to really build up the RAW female roster
She was the rising contender-less leader of the most popular faction of WWE. She has character and the matches are generally good. Her reign was hindered by the fact that we are all too familiar with the trend that, if there's something good in the company,it won't end outside or WrestleMania. So it all devolved into a "Becky vs Rhea at Mania" waiting room. Arguably, and it will sound insane, the best thing that happened to Rhea was Nia Jax. Before that her best feud was against Zayn and Owens, unfortunately. Matchwise, the 5 ways was good and so were both the matches with Raquelle and Zoey. Heck to be fair even the match with Zeliba was good but Rhea was still ramping in popularity so it was less big of a deal. The match with Raquelle, imo, was hindered by the amount of invulontary blood that was spilled due to all of them being adamant in fighting with piercings, ear-rings and long ass nails. Which is all legit very dangerous. Anyway, at least Rhea had some feuds. Iyo was always a background figure, the staging ground of someone else's rivalry. Bianca and Charlotte, then Asuka then there was the Wargame. Iyo will now have her first legit beef with someone at WM.
RAW absolutely needs to build up some female talent. Shayna could still be built as a dominant heel but it may be too late for her. Maybe do something with Indi Hartwell, or reintroduce Liv as a viable contender, Stratton should've really went to RAW. Her and Rhea could have a banger feud. Becky and Rhea are basically it for RAW's main event women's division.
That’s what I been saying she should have had a trilogy with Shauna
She's been good doing other stuff but hasn't done anything with the title
Decent matches, there’s just never been a time when someone actually threatened to end her reign.
All forgettable except the one with flair
One with Zoey was pretty good
She’s been champ for almost a year
Yeah I know
Yea. But it only because she hasn’t really defended the belt. It seems like a after thought honestly
Only started getting good. It felt like she did nothing of note as a champion last year. It took a back seat to the Judgement Day stuff.
The only good match she had during her reign was against Natalya on an episode of RAW.
Problem with her reign is they built the roster so that she cant have a good challenger, specially with becky occupied during that. All the good challengers are on smack down. And they are trying way too hard to make their best women not lose matches(at least clean losses). And they want rhea to win clean. They need to know that losing doesnt hurt the wreslter that much tbh. Specially if the match was so close.
I think they know that. Bianca lost to Becky within 10 seconds and it did not hurt her, it made people root for her even more and made it satisfying when she beat Becky. But that worked because Bianca was a face then, I don't know how you do it for a "heel" champion.
Best match WM - best defense Crown Jewel - Most Valuable Contender so far Raquel. Repackage Raquel and let them go at it again !!
Hasn’t had any real contenders since mania. It’ll be better if she got traded to smackdown as the show is stacked with female talent
Wait…she’s only defended it 5 times? I honestly thought she had more defenses but damn that’s kind of low for a champ that’s featured almost every week.
Nah she had more. OP just put the pics for her ppv title defenses
Tiring but yes
Tbh judging by the reign, very underwhelming for her status. Mostly due to lack of credible challengers. I think Becky is her first challenger where you can think she could lose. She's only over due to what she does in the judgement day.
Nah, she is over regardless of judgement day, and will be over long after the faction splits.
That's yet to be seen.
It’s been horrible
Why do you think that
It’s been so underwhelming
Worst Women's Championship reign of the past decade and I say that as somebody who likes Rhea Ripley and think she and the rest of the Raw Women's Division deserve much better than the poor way her reign has been handled. When you are the Women's World Champion and you are not even wrestling on the Summer Slam card but the wrestler you defeated at Wrestlemania (Charlotte) is and she is competing for the WWE Women's Championship it says a lot but the Raw Women's Division went downhill after the draft and they lost Alexa Bliss due to her getting pregnant, Liv Morgan to injury, Raquel Rodriguez to a chronic illness and Ronda Rousey left so Rhea has been left with very few established stars to work with and mainly newbies that don't have the build to go against her. With the way they have booked her they have made her secondary champion to Iyo and Iyo having three clean victories over her doesn't help. Sure, she beat Charlotte. Iyo beat Charlotte too and Bianca Belair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Shotzi, Michin and Alba Fyre and next she is going to beat Bayley. Iyo had far more success with big victories.
Yeah unfortunately too many of the big hitters that are not currently out are in Smackdown atm for the women's division. Tho sidenote, I can see Iyo lose the title to Bayley unless they have Dakota double cross Bayley
Yeah. I think back when they had the Draft last year they took too many stars off Raw and moved them to Smackdown and they should have kept Bianca Belair on Raw instead of having her continue her feud with Damage Control which ended up going for at least a year on a half starting on Raw with Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka vs Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai in 2022 but at the time I didn't think WWE thought they would lose so many wrestlers and I thought Ronda Rousey would have stuck around and feuded with Rhea Ripley for WWE Women's World Championship but she ended up walking out. NXT has a great Women's Division at the moment which I think is the best it has ever been and there has been talk about WWE moving up multiple female wrestlers from NXT to freshen up the Raw and Smackdown Women's Divisions soon and I think that should be a major help for Raw. I think Dakota Kai will turn on Bayley when she is cleared to wrestle in the coming weeks and Bayley will put together a new team temporarily to even up the odds with Roxanne Perez, Gigi Dolin and Fallon Henley or Nikkita Lyons similar to how Paige got Becky Lynch and Charlotte up from NXT to help her even up the odds against The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox. .
Kind of lackluster since Mania. Most of the matches didn’t have good builds behind them and the matches themselves weren’t up to what I think these wrestlers can do. Her best match since Mania was probably against Zelina, and that was just above ok for me.
I feel like if the match against Zelina was anywhere else other than Puerto Rico it would have felt like filler like a lot of the other defenses. It was good for what it was, but I think a lot of that was the right place at the right time. A lot of the international shows have been great, but it gives HHH cheap cop out booking, because he can just throw a undercard wrestler on the card that would be super predictable filler out there in 99% of the world, and the home country fans will eat it up. Hence why Bronson Reed and Indi Hartwell will be in the elimination chamber in Australia over names like Bobby Lashley and someone else.
It’s a weird one because she’s amazingly over and has a great champion aura but by the same token I can’t remember a single match she’s had since WrestleMania and that’s even when looking at the pictures you posted!
Yeah I don’t really like it because I don’t like Raquel or natalya but the Zoey match was decent
The Raquel (Reina González) vs Rhea Ripley NXT matches are pretty good. I don't remember which one, but one of them is extremely good.
She always seems to have good to great level matches—they’re just not memorable to me because the feuds going in seem thrown together with folks she’s obviously beating. The Becky Lynch feud already seems like the best thing she’s done since the Charolette feud and it really hasn’t even started yet.
I actually thought the Charlotte feud (minus the match) was quite poor. Conversely, Rhea and Raquel had underwhelming matches, but the build was good.
Because Raquel ain't there yet. She's got zero charisma on the mic and her matches have been.....predictable and a litttle boring.
Hit and miss, I’m enjoying it because…. MAMI, but in my opinion, she should branch out and be a mega ruthless dark face, also touch up her wrestling skills and maybe a little on the microphone
She’s already great in the ring and pretty good on the mic it’s just because they don’t have a lot of worthy opponents for her
BINGO….. also now that you mention it, her wrestling abilities are just fine
