IYO SKY Defeats Rhea Ripley to Win WWE Women’s World Championship – IYO SKY is officially headed to WrestleMania 41 as the new WWE Women’s World Champion, where she will defend her title against Bianca Belair.
SKY shocked the WWE Universe on the March 3 episode of RAW, dethroning Rhea Ripley in the main event to claim the championship. The turning point came when Belair, who was sitting ringside, got into a heated exchange with Ripley after being caught cheering for SKY. This distraction proved costly, as Ripley attempted to seal the victory with an avalanche Riptide, only for SKY to counter with a hurricanrana. Seizing the moment, SKY then delivered her signature Over the Moonsault to score the pinfall and capture the title.
Belair, who secured her championship opportunity by winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, now has her sights set on reclaiming gold at WrestleMania 41.
For SKY, this victory marks her second consecutive WrestleMania title match. At WrestleMania 40, she walked in as the WWE Women’s Champion, successfully defending against Bayley.
This victory marks SKY’s first reign as WWE Women’s World Champion, while Ripley’s reign comes to an end after 56 days, with just one successful title defense. The championship showdown between SKY and Belair at WrestleMania is now set, promising a high-stakes clash on WWE’s biggest stage.
