An excerpt from WWE.com read:
“Ripley captured her first Raw Women’s Title from Asuka in a thrilling matchup on The Grandest Stage of Them All, and The Nightmare’s ability and take-no-prisoners attitude makes her a true force of nature. Considering the often unmatched skill of The Empress, will Ripley will have what it takes to best Asuka a second time? Will she be ready for Asuka … again?”
It will be interesting to see if the WWE write Charlotte into the match. Both Asuka and Ripley are very talented wrestlers. However, for some reason their match seems to lack something. Could Charlotte be the missing ingredient? Guess we’ll have to wait and find out.
