Summary

Rhea Ripley said she does not feel she needs a championship to show how dominant she is in WWE, even though she admitted it feels "kind of naked" not having the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship around her waist.

Ripley made the comments during an appearance on The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, where she also made it clear she expects to leave WrestleMania with a title.

Quote from Rhea Ripley

"I don’t know, I feel like kind of naked in a way without it, but at the same time, like, I don’t mind not having a title because I still feel like, kind of what you were saying, every time I walk through the curtain and walk onto the stage in front of everyone, I feel like a champion. Yeah, so I feel like I don’t need a title to represent how dominant I am in the WWE. That being said, at WrestleMania, I will be getting a title."

What Ripley’s WrestleMania claim could mean

Ripley openly stating she expects to "be getting a title" at WrestleMania raises the stakes around her placement in WWE's women's championship picture, because it signals confidence in a title direction tied to the biggest show of the year.

Her remarks also reinforce how WWE presents her character, since Ripley framing herself as a champion before the belt is in her hands keeps her positioned at the top of the division regardless of current title status.
