WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley has more than the Judgment Day's recent tag title win to celebrate after reaching 200 days as champion.
The Australian Superstar began her reign at WrestleMania 39 when she dethroned Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. Ripley would successfully defend the title at WWE Backlash against Zelina Vega in a match that went much differently than originally planned.
During the WWE Draft, Ripley was chosen by Raw and at WWE Night of Champions, would retain against Natalya in seconds. That show also saw Asuka, a SmackDown Superstar, capture the Raw Women's Championship from Bianca Belair. Rather than have the two exchange titles, both women would receive new championships with Ripley becoming the first WWE Women's World Champion.
Ripley's first title defense with this new championship would happen on the July 4, 2023 Raw, and would again see Ripley retain against Natalya. The Judgment Day member would also retain against Natalya at the WWE Superstar Spectacle last month. Ripley's most recent title defense saw her retain against Raquel Rodriguez during the September 11, 2023, episode of Raw.
Ripley has proven to be a dominant champion but her reign will be in serious jeopardy at WWE Crown Jewel. During this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, Adam Pearce booked a five-way title match for the event. Ripley will defend her title against Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark. WWE Crown Jewel 2023 will take place on November 4, and see WWE return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
