Rhea Ripley didn’t compete at the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE, but there was still plenty of ‘Mami’ in Indianapolis. The same day as the first PLE of 2025, a Rhea Ripley lookalike contest took place in the city. On X, footage of the contest was shared. Ripley responded, saying she absolutely loved the idea and wishes she could have been a part of the judging process.
This lookalike contest saw those involved channel Ripley’s personality that has made the Women’s World Champion one of the most popular women in wrestling today. Ripley is in her second reign as Women’s World Champion after regaining the title from Liv Morgan at WWE Raw’s debut on Netflix.
What’s Next for Rhea Ripley?
With Charlotte Flair’s victory in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, Ripley could be in store for a WrestleMania 39 rematch at this year’s Showcase of the Immortals. However, with reports that WWE intends for Flair to face Tiffany Stratton, it remains to be seen who faces the Women’s World Champion at WrestleMania 41.
