Rhea Ripley seemingly confirmed her spot for WWE WrestleMania 41 in the Women’s World title match on WWE RAW. WWE RAW featured a contract signing between Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky and challenger Bianca Belair for their WrestleMania 41 match.
However, Rhea Ripley disrupted the segment and took matters into her own hands. Adam Pearce stood in the ring as Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair exchanged heated words. After both signed the contract, Ripley stormed to the ring, visibly frustrated. Having lost her Women’s World Title to Sky weeks ago, she blamed Belair for costing her the championship.
Tensions escalated as Ripley and Belair argued. Sky attempted to step between them, but Belair shoved her face aside once again like last week. Ripley attacked her with a headbutt that sent Belair crashing onto the table. She then kicked Sky and powerbombed her onto Belair.
Seizing the moment, Ripley grabbed the contract and signed it, seemingly forcing her way into the match. Later backstage, she confronted Adam Pearce, demanding he make the WrestleMania 41 match a triple threat between herself, Sky, and Belair.
General Manager Adam Pearce, frustrated by the situation, dismissed her demands, saying, “It’s like talking to a child.” Although Pearce has yet to make it official, Ripley made her stance clear, declaring, “You can’t erase my name.”
Rhea Ripley breaks silence on signing WWE WrestleMania 41 women’s world title contract
During the WWE RAW Recap hosted by Sam Roberts, he questioned whether Rhea Ripley intentionally traveled to Brussels, Belgium, to disrupt the contract signing and force her way into the championship match.
She stated, “Yeah, I mean, that sounds like it’s worth a trip, you know. It sounds like I had some business to attend. I’m having a good time. I signed a contract. My name’s on it. It’s legal. It’s a legal document. You can’t erase my name, you can’t do anything about it. It’s there.”
While champion Iyo Sky has yet to react to the chaos, challenger Bianca Belair has responded by calling out Rhea Ripley for her actions, stating that someone should explain to Ripley how a contract works. It will be interesting to see if Ripley, who signed her name on the contract, officially gets added to the WrestleMania 41 match, turning it into a triple threat.
