An epic turn of events on the latest episode of WWE Monday Night RAW saw the crowning of a new women’s world champion. Iyo Sky triumphed over Rhea Ripley, capturing the prestigious accolade in the women’s division.
Bianca Belair, after emerging victorious in the Elimination Chamber match on the previous Saturday, was present at ringside during the championship duel, keeping a close eye on her potential adversaries for WrestleMania 41.
However, the intensity of the situation led to a heated squabble between Belair and Ripley. When words weren’t enough, the squabble took a physical turn. Fortunately, Referee Jessika Carr was at hand to separate the fierce competitors, instructing Ripley to continue the match.
In a game-changing moment, that distraction provided Sky with the window of opportunity she needed. She managed to bounce back, successfully converted a Riptide attempt into a hurricanrana and supplemented it with a moonsault, securing her the title in the process!
