In a significant development, WWE has revealed plans for a pivotal match on RAW to determine the new Women’s World Champion, following Rhea Ripley’s decision to vacate the title.
Since aligning with Judgment Day, Rhea Ripley has demonstrated her formidable prowess, culminating in her capture of the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 39 last year.
Her reign was marked by unparalleled dominance, reigning supreme over the women’s division for an entire year with no challenger able to wrest the title from her grasp.

Subsequently, on this week’s RAW, Ripley revealed she sustained a serious injury in the attack, rendering her unable to compete for several months, prompting her to vacate the Women’s World Championship.
