Rhea Ripley Completes 200 Days As A Women’s Champion

In a spectacular achievement for the world of wrestling, Rhea Ripley, a prominent member of Judgment Day, recently celebrated 200 consecutive days as the Women’s World Champion in WWE. For wrestling enthusiasts and the WWE Universe, this milestone is a testament to Ripley’s prowess, dedication, and indomitable spirit inside the ring.

The journey to this remarkable feat began in 2021. Many ardent fans would vividly recall the electric atmosphere at WrestleMania 37. It was here that Rhea Ripley, endearingly known as ‘The Nightmare’, clashed with Asuka in a match that was for the ages. The contest was intense, with both athletes pushing each other to the brink. However, Ripley’s strength, agility, and fierce determination ultimately saw her emerge victorious. By the end of that night, she hoisted the RAW Women’s Championship high above her head, marking a monumental win in her career.

Yet, every champion’s road is filled with challenges, and Ripley’s was no different. About three months later, at the grand stage of SummerSlam, Ripley faced Charlotte Flair, also known as ‘The Queen’. In what was another epic confrontation, The Queen managed to outmaneuver The Nightmare, leading to Ripley’s reign as the RAW Women’s Champion being cut short at just 98 days.

However, true champions are not defined by their setbacks, but by their comebacks. And Rhea Ripley proved just that. The subsequent year witnessed a rejuvenated and more focused Ripley. As fate would have it, she once again crossed paths with Charlotte Flair, this time at WrestleMania. In a rematch that had the entire WWE Universe on the edge of their seats, the 27-year-old Ripley displayed unmatched tenacity. The culmination of the battle saw Ripley defeating Flair, capturing the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and thereby, avenging her previous loss. This victory was not just a redemption for Ripley but also a testament to her growth as a performer and athlete.

Following this significant win, WWE decided to rename the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and it was aptly named the WWE Women’s World Championship. As the holder of this coveted title, Rhea Ripley faced numerous challenges. Top contenders like Raquel Rodriguez, Zelina Vega, and Natalya all tried to dethrone The Nightmare. Yet, Ripley, with her trademark resilience and unparalleled skills, managed to successfully defend her title against all odds. Her 200-day reign is further embellished by the fact that she has remained undefeated in singles competition since that fateful night at WrestleMania when she defeated The Queen.

Looking ahead, challenges for Ripley are far from over. As the WWE Universe is buzzing with anticipation, a colossal challenge awaits the Women’s World Champion. In what promises to be a high-octane contest, Ripley is set to defend her title at WWE Crown Jewel in November 2023. But this time, the stakes are even higher. It’s not a one-on-one or even a triple-threat match. It’s a Fatal-5-Way Match. Rhea Ripley will be up against not one, but four top contenders – Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark. Each of these athletes brings a unique set of skills to the table, and it promises to be a clash of titans.

In conclusion, Rhea Ripley’s 200-day reign as the Women’s World Champion is a significant milestone in WWE’s storied history. From her initial win at WrestleMania 37 to her current status as the reigning champion, Ripley’s journey is a compelling tale of perseverance, grit, and sheer will. As fans worldwide await the upcoming match at WWE Crown Jewel, one thing is for certain: win or lose, Rhea Ripley has already etched her name in the annals of WWE history.
