Whatever the eventual plan for her is, it's worth noting that WWE's done a lot to heat Rhea back up as a singles competitor after the tag-team with Nikki ended, including a strong showing at the Rumble (taking out Zelina/Carmella at the same time, that excellent moment with Ivory and even doing a little damage to Ronda) and tonight beating Nikki/Liv/Doudrop and lasting nearly 45 minutes in the gauntlet match.
In what could be hinting at one possibility, Beth took notice of her performance tonight, too:

We’ll see. They need to earn trust back.

I hope they keep at it, which is basically the only way.
Bianca and Rhea by all rights should be built to be on the level of the Horsewomen, but that's only going to work with consistent effort and time.

They’ve got two nights to fill and Rhea/Beth would be AWESOME.

Bianca and Rhea both being seemingly on the outs and not in main title programs for Mania this year, especially after Bianca's outright triumph last Mania, just seems like a severely dropped ball, but then again that's how the women's division has really felt lately
I don't trust WWE with anyone, but they need Rhea, badly, they can't afford to f*** this one up.

You don’t think another Lynch v Belair match at WrestleMania is the thing? What’s your prediction?

Actually thinking about it, Bianca should be in the title picture yeah, I think I was still operating under Ronda challenging for the belt but... that might be next year given rumors which I am not thrilled about either I would hope Bianca actually wins the belt if she faces Becky at Mania, otherwise I think it'd be pointless

I'd really like to see Beth vs. Rhea.

Just keep her the f*** away from Charlotte and you can get her back to where she was.

One the one hand, I don't like that the gauntlet has become overused as a device to rebuild/elevate someone. On the other hand, she absolutely needed it and it served it's purpose

Charlotte hates making anyone look good, to be fair. It's not a thing specific to Rhea, Asuka, or anyone else. She has one of the biggest egos I've seen in modern wrestling. I lost all respect for Charlotte when she decided it was okay to shoot on Kairi and scream at her about "big leaguing her".

They’d better have a good match for her at Mania this year.

What sucks is that their 'Mania match was terrific and had Rea won, we're having a totally different conversation

Remember when Triple H seemed to have it out for every other long haired blonde man on the roster? Probably something similar.

I was really worried about Rhea when she got called up because she was REALLY struggling in the ring for the first couple months, but I feel that MITB match with Charlotte really helped her with her confidence and ever since then she's been back at the level she was at in NXT as a worker.

Yeah, I don't think the chaotic circumstances of her getting called up before WM 37 helped much (without Lacey's pregnancy, Asuka's injury, and Charlotte's COVID she probably wouldn't have been on the main roster til the night after Mania), though thankfully she managed to work through it.

The fact that they made her the runner up in the Rumble, and had that awesome closing sequence with Bianca. But apparently had no plans for her on TV until after Mania, and she only got on the show last minute because their original plans fell through.
That will never not be baffling to me?

If the top women's matches are going to be Becky vs. Bianca and Charlotte vs. Ronda, I really don't know what they're going to do with Rhea, Liv, Sasha, Naomi, Alexa, and Asuka if she's healthy enough.
