Rhea Ripley’s Past Comes Back to Haunt Her? A Close Look at Beth Phoenix’s Possible Vengeance on RAW
The universe of WWE is no stranger to old rivalries reigniting, and the stage might be set for one such saga to unfold. Since Rhea Ripley’s ascension to power with The Judgment Day, her reign has seen its fair share of allies and adversaries. However, the one face that might be turning to confront her is none other than WWE Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix.
For those not in the know, the history between Ripley and Phoenix isn’t exactly cordial. With Edge’s expulsion from The Judgment Day by Ripley, the Glamzon found herself directly in the line of fire. Teaming up with her husband, Edge, Phoenix faced off against Mami and Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber 2023. The outcome? Not in Glamzon’s favor.
Rhea’s Nightmare: The Return of Phoenix?
The Nightmare vs. the Glamzon. Sounds like a blockbuster, doesn’t it? Rhea Ripley once named Beth Phoenix as her “dream opponent”. However, with Ripley’s current commitment to a feud with Raquel Rodriguez on RAW, it’s a dream that might take some time to materialize.
Yet, the WWE universe is abuzz with speculation. After all, given the unpredictable nature of the wrestling world, it’s not out of bounds to imagine the two women clashing in the ring. But with the Women’s World Champion being the target of multiple superstars, the question remains: is Beth Phoenix truly looking for vengeance?
Unresolved Business: Beth and Edge vs. The Judgment Day
The waters were muddied further with Edge’s feud with The Judgment Day. Despite the odds stacked against him, the Rated R Superstar emerged victorious against Finn Balor at WrestleMania 39. This win, while a personal victory for Edge, also hinted at the unresolved issues between Phoenix and The Judgment Day, with Ripley at its helm.
While a singles showdown between Beth and Rhea might be enticing on paper, several factors suggest it might be delayed. Firstly, their initial clash was a consequence of Edge’s battles with The Judgment Day. Secondly, with Beth Phoenix taking a step back from in-ring action post the Elimination Chamber, her immediate return to confront Ripley seems uncertain.
Phoenix’s Subtle Hints: An Instagram Reveal
Giving some credence to the speculation, however, is Phoenix’s recent Instagram post. Announcing her presence on SmackDown to celebrate Edge’s 25th anniversary in WWE, the post was more than just a tribute. It was a declaration, reminding the WWE universe of the Glamzon’s prominence and the legacy she and Edge share.
The heartfelt words she penned for Edge, ahead of his match against Sheamus, bring forth an intriguing question. Will Edge’s former associates from The Judgment Day make an appearance on the blue brand? And if they do, will Beth Phoenix stand by idly?
As SmackDown prepares to host the monumental match between Edge and Sheamus, fans worldwide are glued to their screens, not just for the match but for the brewing storm that might follow. Will Beth Phoenix reignite her feud with Rhea Ripley? Or will she continue her hiatus from the ring?
Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the WWE universe is in for a treat, with surprises lurking around every corner.
