Dutch Mantell suggested a kissing spot between CM Punk and Rhea Ripley
According to Dutch Mantell, WWE should do a spot with CM Punk kissing Rhea Ripley.
Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran explained how the spot should play out. He stated that the spot would help Ripley with her momentum. Mantell said:
“It was a match I would expect if they go to the ring, they went what, 10 or 12 minutes? [Yeah]. And that’s all they needed to go. Because they didn’t, what I’m saying never cheat your customer. The customer felt satisfied, got a finish, and they’re on to the rest of the show. So, I think it could’ve been a lot lot better. Because they haven’t even started doing the spots with Rhea and Punk yet.”New year, same champ! Who do you want to see @RheaRipley_WWE take on next? #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/xhkxkAPG5n

“I’d love a spot where he slides out and she turns around and he kisses her. Oh, the place would go insane. Now, she wants to get in there, ‘I’m gonna kill you’ and blah blah blah. And there’s a couple more things you can do along with that. But she doesn’t lose any heat. She gains it. And it makes the match interesting.”
At RAW: Day 1, Ripley successfully defended the WWE Women’s World Championship against Ivy Nile.
