Rhea Ripley is no stranger to WrestleMania and championship matches. She’s been involved in multiple title bouts at WWE’s biggest event of the year, but this time, Ripley hasn’t officially punched her ticket to the show.
Ripley lost her WWE Women’s Championship to Iyo Sky in a stunning match on Raw the night after Elimination Chamber. Sky’s win shocked the world, as many expected to see Ripley vs. Bianca Belair, the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match.
Belair and Ripley crossed paths during the latter’s match with Sky, which led Ripley to blame Belair for the loss despite her losing focus after having control for most of the match.
Rhea Ripley Signs the Contract for WrestleMania
Last week, Ripley, Sky, and Belair shared the ring for a heated segment, with tempers flaring and slaps thrown. Sky seemed frustrated that she felt overlooked by both the woman she defeated for the title and the one she would face at WrestleMania.
This week, Belair and Sky sat down to sign the contract for their WrestleMania 41 match. Belair, amid surprising boos from the Belgium crowd, spoke directly to Sky, guaranteeing she would walk out of WrestleMania as the new Women’s World Champion.
Sky also made it clear she plans to leave WrestleMania with the title, but as general manager Adam Pearce prepared to make it official, Ripley interrupted and stormed the ring.
She went after both Belair and Sky, hitting Belair with a headbutt that sent her crashing onto the table where the contract had been signed. Ripley then slammed Sky onto Belair before signing the contract herself, making her WrestleMania intentions crystal clear.

With Ripley also signing the contract, the question remains: Who will face Sky at WrestleMania? Could this be leading to a massive triple-threat showdown between three of the best women’s wrestlers in the world?
WrestleMania 41 Triple-Threat Title Match on the Way?
After her actions, Pearce confronted Ripley, making it clear that just because she signed the contract doesn’t mean she’s officially in the title match at WrestleMania 41.
Despite those words, it seems obvious that this is heading toward a triple threat. Sky and Belair both want to get their hands on Ripley, while she keeps finding ways to gain the upper hand.
It looks like this rivalry can only be settled with all three women in the ring at WrestleMania. Who will come out on top when they finally face off?
