WrestleRant Radio - July 22, 2021: Rhea Ripley Interview, Money in the Bank Review, & CM Punk + Daniel Bryan Headed to AEW?!

Before breaking down a massively-newsworthy week in wrestling, Graham "GSM" Matthews welcomes the now-former Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley to WrestleRant Radio! They talk her match with Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank, fans returning, her roller coaster of a last year in WWE, her current character dynamic, why she's reverted back to being the Rhea Ripley from NXT UK, adjusting to the Raw roster, her call-up from NXT and when it was supposed to happen, her interactions with Vince McMahon, her thoughts on the recent call-ups of Toni Storm and Piper Niven based on her history with them from NXT UK, and more!

GSM is then joined by RJ Marceau to talk about the huge breaking news: SummerSlam is coming to movie theaters this August! Okay, so not that (though they do discuss it), but rather CM Punk and Daniel Bryan reportedly being in talks with AEW! How big would they be for the promotion? Who can they face? When should they debut? They talk about all of this and much more, as well as their thoughts on last Friday's SmackDown in front of fans and the newest additions to the blue brand, Sunday's electric Money in the Bank pay-per-view, their thoughts on who won each briefcase, Nikki A.S.H. cashing in to become Raw Women's Champion, if AJ Styles is being underutilized, Bobby Lashley squashing Kofi Kingston before being challenged by Goldberg to a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley, John Cena's epic return following Roman Reigns vs. Edge, Karrion Kross' polarizing Raw debut and if he can recover from it, if it takes away from the hype from Kross vs. Samoa Joe at NXT TakeOver 36, and a quick recap of Night 2 of Fyter Fest on AEW Dynamite.
