Rhea Ripley Officially Added to WrestleMania 41 Title Match
In a major shake-up to the WrestleMania 41 card, WWE has officially confirmed that Rhea Ripley will join the Women’s World Championship match, turning what was originally a one-on-one clash into a blockbuster triple threat.
Originally, IYO SKY was scheduled to defend her title against Bianca Belair, who earned her shot by triumphing in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match back in February. Belair’s victory set the stage for a highly anticipated showdown, with fans eager to see her chase gold on the grandest stage of them all.
However, the road to WrestleMania has taken a dramatic turn. Ripley, the former champion, lost her title to SKY in a shocking match this past March. What followed was a heated rematch that ended in chaos—a double disqualification, with none other than Bianca Belair serving as the special guest referee. The match dissolved into a wild brawl, further blurring the lines between rivals and sparking speculation about how WWE would respond.
On the April 8 episode of Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce made it official: the only way to settle the score was to put all three women in the ring at WrestleMania. SKY will now defend her championship against both Belair and Ripley in a triple threat match that’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated bouts of the weekend.
