Bianca Belair to referee Women’s title match on WWE Raw next week
A Women’s World title match is set for next week’s Raw.
After another confrontation between champion IYO SKY, Bianca Belair, and former champion Rhea Ripley on Raw in Glasgow, Adam Pearce announced that SKY will defend the title against Ripley in a rematch on next week’s show in London. Belair will serve as the guest referee.
On Raw, Pearce came out and declared that despite Rhea Ripley putting her name on the WrestleMania contract last week, she would not be added to the match. All three women came out in response and soon got in each other’s faces once again. It was there that Pearce made the match for next week, saying whoever won between Ripley and SKY would defend the title at WrestleMania.
Later, when Belair confronted Pearce about his decision, the RAW GM decided to make Belair the special guest referee for the upcoming match.
Jimmy Uso will take on Gunther on next week’s show as well. After Gunther shoved Jimmy off the top rope and went after his WrestleMania opponent Jey Uso, Jimmy retaliated by chasing Gunther away with a steel chair.
Logan Paul will confront AJ Styles after posting on social media he’d be at next week’s show, telling Styles to bring his soccer mom haircut to London.
John Cena and Cody Rhodes will also meet face-to-face for the third straight week. On this week’s show, Cena promised to win the WWE title at WrestleMania then retire as champion.
Here is the updated lineup for next week’s Raw in London:
- Women’s World Champion IYO SKY defends against Rhea Ripley (Bianca Belair special guest referee)
- Gunther vs. Jimmy Uso
- Logan Paul calls out AJ Styles
- John Cena & Cody Rhodes face-to-face
