She's the talk of the women's division in WWE right now and has been for several months. Rhea Ripley is set to make her WrestleMania debut this year in a highly anticipated match with Charlotte Flair as she continues to prove she's one of the best in WWE.
Ripley is an incredibly powerful wrestler and she has quickly made her mark in the ring through excellent performances. Whether it be the Mae Young Classic, NXT UK, or even her occasional main roster appearances, she is someone who always takes her chances.

Throughout her WWE run, the current NXT Women's Champion has had some fantastic matches and that's why she's now such a top babyface. Here are her 10 best matches so far.
10 Rhea Ripley vs Piper Niven (NXT UK)
We kickstart the list with an excellent match from Rhea Ripley's run in NXT UK when she was a top heel for WWE's newest brand. When Piper Niven joined the company, she was immediately brought into a feud with Ripley.
After Ripley had bullied many talents on the roster she went head to head with someone who was just as physical and arguably more athletic than her in Piper Niven.
They didn't get a particularly lengthy match against each other, but they made the most of it with a real sprint. Wasting no time in getting going, the women brawled and really put on a great fight for everyone.
9 Rhea Ripley vs Dakota Kai (Mae Young Classic)
This match was arguably Rhea Ripley's first big opportunity in WWE from the original Mae Young Classic tournament. It was the second round and with her first win being a quick match, this really showcased Ripley's talent more.
While this wasn't a lengthy match by any stretch, it got enough time to tell a great story with Dakota Kai as they went out to prove a point.
It was hard-fought and action-packed with the two women making the most of every minute they had in the ring together.
8 Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae & Toni Storm vs Bianca Belair, Io Shirai & Kay Lee Ray (NXT)
For the first proper (non-highlight) episode of NXT in 2020, the show kicked off with a major six-woman tag team match that brought some amazing action. It saw six incredibly talented women compete in what was really a fast-paced match.
While Rhea Ripley obviously didn't get to showcase herself as much as she would in singles matches, she still got plenty of action and really proved to be the top star within the match.

It's not often that random six-person tag team matches become incredibly entertaining, but this certainly was.
7 Rhea Ripley vs Bianca Belair (NXT Takeover: Portland)
The most recent major match of Rhea Ripley's career took place against Bianca Belair with the NXT Women's Championship on the line. They had a fantastic match together with the storyline heading into this one being very well done.
WWE put a great build on this match and the women certainly delivered with the in-ring product. It was physical but also had some excellent counters and athletic moments, with Belair really bringing the best out of the champion.
With Charlotte Flair's presence looming large in the background of this storyline, that did slightly take away from what they were doing, but it was still a top match.
6 Rhea Ripley vs Sasha Banks vs Charlotte Flair (SmackDown)
When WWE decided to kickstart the idea of having NXT involved in Survivor Series in 2019, several members of the brand got the chance to mix it up on the main roster.

Of course, one of those just so happened to be Rhea Ripley, who competed against Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair. It was a brilliant triple threat match with all three women working really well against each other.
This gave a tease of what we can expect at WrestleMania 36 and featured a really great pinfall. With Flair locking in the Figure Eight, Ripley slid underneath and caught her with a pinfall, which was unique and helped make the match memorable.
5 Rhea Ripley vs Io Shirai (Mae Young Classic II)
It is through the Mae Young Classic that Rhea Ripley introduced herself to WWE, and she returned to compete in the second tournament, with a drastic change in her look and dynamic.
The change was welcomed and she progressed to the semi-finals to compete in an amazing match with Io Shirai. While Ripley came up short here, it was a clear sign that WWE had big plans for her moving forward.
They put on a really competitive match that was worthy of the semi-final stage this took place in. Shirai's highflying ability was well-matched against Ripley's pure power.
4 Team NXT vs Team Raw vs Team SmackDown (Survivor Series 2019)
Survivor Series 2019 weekend firmly belonged to the black and yellow brand and two wrestlers in particular. Both Rhea Ripley and Keith Lee had standout weekends with amazing performances as they went toe to toe against the main roster talent.

Rhea Ripley had an amazing performance here, really standing up as the leader of her team throughout. She spent large portions of time in the ring herself, mixing it up with everyone and being portrayed as an equal.
It was a really big moment for Rhea Ripley in her career, establishing her as a major star that helped make this incredibly memorable for her career.
3 Rhea Ripley vs Toni Storm (NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool)
Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm have a long history against each other, both in and out of WWE. However, the best of their matches certainly came at the first-ever NXT UK Takeover event in Blackpool.
This was a case of having two women who knew each other so well that they were able to counter different moves with ease and know what was going to happen, which allowed it to flow perfectly.
Even though this was Toni Storm's big moment to become champion, Ripley had done her role to perfection as the dominant heel. She had the size and power advantage and certainly made sure she used it, creating a fun dynamic.
2 Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler (NXT)
This was arguably Rhea Ripley's biggest match to date, and she certainly made the most out of that chance. Competing for the NXT Women's Championship, she and Shayna Baszler put on an amazing match.

Even though Ripley had been built up as a truly credible talent to finally take the title from the dominant champion, it is always hard to bet against Baszler. The women did an amazing job at building this up and making it seem like Rhea wouldn't get the job done.
However, she eventually came out on top and had her crowning babyface moment as the champion. It was a hard-fought brawl at times, and while it might not have been the prettiest, it had a big fight feel and sometimes, that's all that's needed.
1 Team Rhea Ripley vs Team Shayna Baszler (NXT Takeover: War Games III)
Rhea Ripley's best match to this point in her career is certainly her debut inside of the War Games structure. It was a historic moment as it marked the first-ever time women had competed with the stipulation.
Everyone involved worked hard to make it memorable as well, with Rhea Ripley captaining her team to defeat Shayna Baszler's women. Despite the fact that they were outnumbered due to Dakota Kai's actions to Tegan Nox, they were able to win.
It was a very physical match that took a toll on everyone involved, but it was certainly an incredible one. Everybody involved left everything inside the ring in what was a star-making performance from Ripley.
