6. Rhea Ripley

Last Month’s Ranking: No. 4

Last Month’s Segments: Following the last PLE, Ripley and her Terror Twin Damien Priest were subjected to attacks all month from Judgment Day, who made shrewd use of the numbers advantage they held over the former world champions. Generally speaking, there were great promos on television each week to keep fans interested in this match.

Bad Blood Performance: Although much of the drama was focused on Dominik Mysterio hanging above the entrance ramp in a shark cage, there were also great moments in and around the ring. “Mami” showed awesome power throughout the match. Her often debated “Riptide” finisher looked excellent as she performed it on Morgan outside the ring right in front of Mysterio. Ripley got some more direct revenge on “Dirty Dom” while he was hanging in the cage, hitting him repeatedly with well-deserved kendo stick shots. Elsewhere in the match, I was thoroughly impressed by the counter she had for Morgan’s finisher, “The Oblivion,” as she kip-upped out of it. The Australian superstar continues to deliver quality in-ring performances.
