Speaking on the Busted Open Podcast, Bully Ray pitched for Ripley to join this star-studded cast in a follow-up video.“I would love to see a follow-up commercial where they’re at the table playing poker, and you hear a door slam, and you see a female sit down. And all you hear is, ‘Deal me in, boys.’ The camera pans up, and it’s Rhea Ripley," he said.Bully said fans would love it, and it would be a "to be continued" from the first commercial. He said it would also explain why one stack of chips is at the table without anybody representing it."Now, I get it, the stack of chips could be there just to bring some extra color to the poster, or something. But why would there be an extra stack of chips at the poker table? I don’t think Heyman’s playing. I don’t think Hunter’s playing. That one spot could be for somebody. Maybe it’s for Rhea, we’ll see,” he added.You can watch the video below:Rhea Ripley is seen as one of the biggest stars of not only the women's division but also the entire roster.
