Rhea Ripley hijacks Women’s World title contract signing on WWE Raw
The contract signing for the Women’s World title match at WrestleMania didn’t go as smoothly as expected.
New champion IYO SKY and Bianca Belair both signed the contract for their upcoming match at WrestleMania during Raw. After Pearce thanked them both for being professional, former champion Rhea Ripley came down and said she was just here to watch. However, Ripley and Belair soon started exchanging words, which upset SKY. Ripley ended up headbutting Belair then took SKY and powerbombed her onto Belair, sending them both through a table.
The segment ended with Ripley putting her name on the WrestleMania contract and took it with her to the back as the announcers explained that her signing the contract wasn’t official.
Later backstage, Ripley handed back the contract to Pearce but demanded to be put in the match at WrestleMania. Belair and SKY then arrived and the three brawled again before it was broken up by security.
Two weeks ago on Raw, SKY scored a surprise win over Ripley to win the Women’s World Championship after Ripley argued with Belair, who was at ringside. On last week’s show, Belair and SKY were in the ring when Ripley came down to argue with Belair again. Feeling disrespected, SKY ended up laying out both women.
