WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley recently made history by defeating Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, securing the SmackDown Women’s Championship and becoming the youngest Women’s Grand Slam Champion in WWE at 27 years old. Last year, on the June 12 edition of Monday Night RAW, the title was rebranded as the ‘Women’s World Championship,’ and Ripley was presented with a new championship belt, which she has managed to hold onto since then.
Ripley’s reign as champion has now surpassed 350 days, marking a significant milestone as she heads into WrestleMania XL. WWE acknowledged this achievement by sharing a reel on Instagram, prompting fans to speculate whether she can maintain her reign for another 355 days. The Eradicator’s impressive run as champion has captured the attention of many within the wrestling community.
