Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch is one of the major matches on the WWE WrestleMania XL Match Card. The Women’s World Champion Ripley will put her title on the line against Becky, who won the Elimination Chamber match in Australia last match.
Many fans expected Becky Lynch vs Rhea Ripley to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania XL. However, the return of The Rock led to WWE allotting that slot to the men as well.
Nevertheless, Becky vs Rhea continues to be a highly-anticipated match. Considering how dominant Becky has been on the Road to WrestleMania XL, quite a few members of the WWE Universe expect her to win the Women’s World Championship in Philadelphia.

However, here are two reasons why Rhea Ripley should defeat Becky Lynch on the WWE WrestleMania XL match card.
1. WWE WrestleMania XL Match Card only marks the start of Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch rivalry
Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch was a dream rivalry for many fans. Rhea had been crushing all her opponents en route to WrestleMania XL, and now, she has a worthy challenger in Becky.

If WWE allows Becky to walk away with the win at WrestleMania, it might diminish Rhea’s credibility. Also, it will feel like the storyline is being extended unnecessarily if WWE immediately books a rematch on the next premium live event.
2. A win at WrestleMania will establish Rhea Ripley as the new face of the women’s division
Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Bayley have carried the WWE women’s division for a long time. WWE has finally got a new option in Rhea Ripley now. Bayley will likely beat IYO Sky for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania XL. If Rhea suffers the same fate as IYO, then the Horsewomen will overshadow Team Next Gen again in the women’s division of WWE.
