Rhea Ripley is one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE today. She and her kayfabe boyfriend Dominik Mysterio are one of the most entertaining acts in wrestling at the moment for the way they torment their opponents and inspire roars of boos from the audience.

It was a brutal, hard-hitting match that blew many fans' expectations out of the water. The match was held in the middle of Night One of Wrestlemania, which sparked some discourse on social media.
"Charlotte Flair And I Beat The Crap Out Of Each Other And Loved It"
While speaking on WWE After the Bell, Rhea Ripley expressed her belief that she and Charlotte proved why they deserved to main event Night One of Wrestlemania after all. Fightful has provided the following transcription:
Coming out of that match, I did feel like we stole the show. I feel we went out there and left everything we had in the ring and proved to everyone exactly why we should have been in the main event spot. Yes, we didn't have a good build like Sami, Owens, and the Usos; at the same time, Charlotte and I, every time we step in the ring, we bring the brutality, we bring the ferocious when we go out there and we just beat the living crap out of each other. All the praise that we got, it made me happy and made me proud that we went out there and beat the crap out of each other and loved it. It's a weird feeling. I get it, I do get it.
The main event spot of the first night of Wrestlemania 39 was given to the Usos, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. This decision upset some WWE fans who believed that each main event spot should be given to the winners of that year's Royal Rumble. However, WWE's decision to have the Undisputed Tag Team Championship match take the main event spot is understandable considering the amount of hype that surrounded it.
