In a jaw-dropping opener on this week’s WWE Raw, it was officially confirmed that Rhea Ripley will be added to the WrestleMania 41 Women’s World Championship match, turning what was a singles showdown between Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair and reigning champion Iyo Sky into a triple threat encounter.
The buildup has been nothing short of electrifying. Belair punched her ticket to The Show of Shows back in February by surviving the grueling Elimination Chamber, earning a title shot that initially looked to be aimed at then-champion Ripley. But WWE swerved fans with a mid-Raw title clash between Ripley and Sky—while Belair watched ringside, ready to scout her WrestleMania opponent. In a moment of unexpected sportsmanship, Belair pushed Sky to beat the count-out, but that hesitation cost Ripley dearly. Sky capitalized on the distraction and stunned everyone by pinning Ripley to become the new Women’s World Champion.
Rhea Ripley joins the WWE Women’s Championship Match at WrestleMania 41
Ripley, never one to take a loss lying down, demanded either a rematch or a spot in the WrestleMania title match. Last week, she got that rematch, with Belair donning the black-and-white stripes as special guest referee. But chaos reigned. What started as a competitive match ended in controversy with Belair declaring a double disqualification, further muddying the championship waters.
Mami is always on top.
WWE exec Adam Pearce put an end to the speculation on Raw, officially declaring the WrestleMania bout a triple threat. But while Ripley and Belair exchanged venomous glares and traded barbs in the ring, Sky reminded everyone why she’s champion. With a picture-perfect springboard dropkick that took out both challengers, she seized the moment, signing the contract and standing tall as the overlooked but dangerous titleholder.
Come WrestleMania 41, it’s Sky vs. Belair vs. Ripley—and in a division stacked with talent, this triple threat is shaping up to be a show-stealer.
