Rhea Ripley made a return to singles action on the red brand of WWE for the first time in nearly a year and ran through Raquel Rodriguez in an anything goes match as part of the main event on “WWE Raw.” High-stakes chaos, surprise interferences, and jaw-dropping moments had fans talking about the matchup as Ripley’s peer, the number one contender for the Women’s World Championship, made things go her way.
It opened up with an explosive confrontation between the time that Ripley arrived and the surprise attack of Rodriguez. Rodriguez charged up the ramp rather than heading to the ring; she attacked Ripley, sending out a signal that this would be an intense brawl. They moved into the crowd, so commentators reminded the audience that the pinfalls and submissions need to occur in the ring. By the time they returned to the squared circle, the chaos was already at a fever pitch, as Ripley had filled the ring with an arsenal of weapons during a commercial break.
At one point, Rodriguez tried to take the carnage to a new level by pulling a table from under the ring. But Ripley had other plans and sent her flying over the announce desk. Back in the ring, Rodriguez tried to slam Ripley onto a steel chair, but this moment of potential victory was interrupted by Liv Morgan.
Morgan’s involvement added another layer of unpredictability. As Ripley attempted her signature Rip Tide maneuver, Morgan jumped into the fray literally, leaping onto Ripley’s back. Morgan capitalized on the opportunity and performed her signature Oblivion, which temporarily brought Ripley to a halt. Still, the mayhem was not over. SKY enters to deliver a missile dropkick to Morgan and follows that up with a breathtaking suicide dive that sends the reigning Women’s World Champion flying out of the ring.
Rodriguez, regaining her composure, set up a table inside the ring, signaling her intent to deliver a decisive blow. But Ripley capitalized on the moment, delivering a brutal Rip Tide that sent Rodriguez crashing through the table. With Rodriguez incapacitated, Ripley secured the three-count, marking a hard-fought and dramatic victory.
The show ended with a tense stare-down between Ripley and SKY. Both women held the Women’s World Title high, a clear signal of the brewing rivalry and the high stakes awaiting them in the championship scene.
This electrifying main event showcased the unbelievable athleticism, grit, and brains that define WWE’s women’s division. The involvement of Liv Morgan and SKY added intrigue and underscored the unpredictable nature of the sport, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in these unfolding storylines.
