Rhea Ripley still has a chance to compete in a huge title match, despite losing her WWE Women's World Championship on RAW this week.
Rhea Ripley was slowly regaining her position at the top of the WWE women's division after defeating Liv Morgan on the debut edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix and winning back the WWE Women's World title. However, her title reign came to a halt only after 56 days when IYO Sky defeated her on the RAW after the Elimination Chamber PLE.
Despite her title loss, a new report by WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass stated that Ripley might still be added to the title showdown at WrestleMania 41 between IYO Sky and the winner of the 2025 Women's Elimination Chamber, Bianca Belair. Here are the three reasons Mami should become a part of the match and turn it into a triple threat title match:

3. Rhea Ripley's status as a top star

There is no secret to the popularity and star power that Rhea Ripley commands as a WWE superstar. She has risen to become a top attraction from the women's division. Mami is a huge draw and her star power is befitting of a spot in a title match at WrestleMania 41 with her addition to the Women's World title match looking like a top possiblity.

2. Bianca Belair & IYO Sky feud might not interest the fans

IYO Sky's win over Rhea Ripley was a huge shocker, setting up her title match against Bianca Belair. As noted by WrestleVotes in the aforementioned report, WWE would consider adding Ripley to the match if there is not enough spice in their feud. This can be the case as there is no major storyline behind their upcoming feud and less time left to build one, making The Eradicator's inclusion more imminent in their match.

1. Rhea Ripley deserves a top spot at WrestleMania after her last two matches at the show

Rhea Ripley has been featured in top-tier title matches for the last two WrestleMania matches against some of the biggest names, like Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Interestingly, Mami walked out of both matches as the victor. She delivered some of the greatest in-ring performances against top-tier performers like Flair and Lynch, proving her ability to showcase to the highest of her ability on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Ripley's past WrestleMania record and in-ring prowess make it a top possibility to make it three in a row of being in title matches at WrestleMania.
