Rhea Ripley's last chance, Triple H's new favorite? 4 stars who could become WWE Queen of the Ring

Triple H made Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis the WWE General Managers for the main roster. Pearce runs Monday Night RAW, while Aldis is the head of Friday Night SmackDown.

The two are rarely in the same place at the same time, and are on the same page even less frequently. Despite that, Nick and Adam were united in making a major announcement on SmackDown. They revealed that the King of the Ring Tournament and the Queen of the Ring Tournament are both set to return.

With World Wrestling Entertainment changing the initial Queen's Crown Tournament retroactively, this will be the third-ever Queen of the Ring Tournament. Zelina won the first tournament, and Nia Jax stood tall last year.

As of now, it isn't clear which competitors will be in this tournament. Still, some early predictions can be made as to who will become the next Queen of the Ring. This article will look at a handful of potential options, including the biggest name in women's wrestling.

#4. This could be Rhea Ripley's last chance to get another shot at IYO SKY's title

Rhea Ripley is the biggest female star in pro wrestling today. Not only has she headlined major WWE shows, but she is also a multi-time world champion. She is also the most popular women's performer in the industry today.

The Eradicator has had an interesting ongoing story with IYO SKY. She defeated Mami for the WWE Women's World Championship. Although they had a lot of tension, the two eventually formed a bond.

Still, Rhea has made it clear that she intends to win Money in the Bank and get the Women's World Title back. If she fails to win that bout, however, Ripley could be added to the Queen of the Ring Tournament and go on to be in a headline match at SummerSlam.

#3. Stephanie Vaquer could move up the card immediately

Stephanie Vaquer is one of the brightest prospects in WWE. While she has recently joined the Monday Night RAW roster, La Primera has already won gold in NXT. She has held both the NXT Women's Championship and the Women's North American Title.

Just like Rhea Ripley, Stephanie Vaquer is in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the first time. Those two stars will be taking on Giulia, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, and Roxanne Perez in an intense six-woman bout.

Due to the volatile nature of the Ladder Match, there is a very real chance that Stephanie doesn't win. Thankfully, the newest WWE RAW star could be elevated up the card quickly through the Queen of the Ring Tournament.

#2. Jade Cargill's WWE push is inevitable

Jade Cargill is an absolute powerhouse who looks as if she were carved out of marble. Her impressive physique can't be matched. Additionally, Jade is incredibly confident and surprisingly quick in the ring. As a result, she has won the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles and the AEW TBS Championship in the past.

Cargill has spent most of her WWE career either teaming up with Bianca Belair or feuding with Naomi. While she's been kept away from the main event scene for now, her push to the top of the card feels inevitable sooner rather than later.

Knowing that her push on the card is coming, it could begin with the Queen of the Ring Tournament. If she were to win it, Jade could challenge Tiffany Stratton for the world title at SummerSlam in what would be an excellent match.

#1. Giulia appears to be one of Triple H's favorites

Giulia is one of the most dangerous female performers in the world. After unprecedented success in Japan, she joined WWE and quickly won the NXT Women's Championship. She is a force to be reckoned with, to say the very least.

The Beautiful Madness is another new star to WWE's main roster. With that being said, she has her eyes on the Women's United States Championship. In fact, she even laid Zelina Vega out on SmackDown yesterday.

Many believe Giulia is one of Triple H's new favorites. She was in numerous segments on SmackDown last night, and it has almost become a meme online about The Game's obvious interest in pushing her. If Triple H is truly as big a fan of hers as it seems, Giulia winning the Queen of the Ring Tournament feels likely.
