Women’s World Championship Match to Open WrestleMania 41 Sunday – Championship action will be kicking off the evening on Sunday, April 20, when night two of WrestleMania 41 rolls into Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On Friday, it was confirmed during the special episode of The Pat McAfee Show live from Las Vegas, NV. that the WWE Women’s World Championship bout with IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair will be kicking things off at WrestleMania 41 Sunday.
WWE.com released the following preview for the three-way title tilt:
Women’s World Champion IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley
In a stunning turn of events, the Women’s World Championship will be decided in an epic Triple Threat Match when IYO SKY defends her title against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania.
After returning from injury, Ripley regained the Women’s World Title from Liv Morgan on the Netflix premiere of Raw and quickly reestablished herself as a dominant champion. Her WrestleMania challenger would be decided inside the Elimination Chamber, where Belair emerged victorious.
Just when it seemed like that showdown was set, the unthinkable happened as SKY used commotion between Ripley and Belair to capture the Women’s World Title from The Eradicator on Raw. Not only did The Genius of the Sky win the championship, but she was in line to replace Ripley in defending the title against The EST on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Outraged that Belair’s presence had played a role in her losing the title, Ripley attacked SKY and Belair and signed the contract. Nevertheless, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce refused to add Ripley to the title match at The Showcase of the Immortals.
It was soon revealed, however, that Ripley had a rematch clause in her contract that would give her the opportunity to reclaim the title from SKY. In that matchup on Raw, Belair was named special guest referee, and she ruled their championship match a no-contest after being taken out by both competitors.
With no options left, Pearce decided that the Superstars would square off in a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania.
