Rhea Ripley Confirms WWE WrestleMania 41 Title Match — ‘You Can’t Erase My Name’

by

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.

A heated argument broke out between Ripley and Belair, causing tension to rise. Sky tried to interject, but Belair pushed her away as she had done previously. In retaliation, Ripley lunged at Belair with a powerful headbutt, sending her sprawling onto the table. Following this, Ripley kicked Sky and executed a powerbomb on 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.

Adam Pearce, growing increasingly agitated, brushed aside her requests, commenting, “It feels like I’m conversing with a youngster.” However, Ripley’s resolve was unmistakable as she asserted, “You can’t just wipe out my presence.” (Although Pearce hasn’t announced it yet, it is clear that Ripley has made her position known.)

In a discussion during the WWE RAW Recap led by Sam Roberts, he raised the point that Rhea Ripley might have deliberately gone to Brussels, Belgium, with the aim of causing disruption at the contract signing and barging into the title bout.

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.
