Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY on Raw [via- WWE]
In the dying minutes of Raw this Monday, Rhea Ripley‘s world crumbled. She lost her Women’s World Championship to IYO SKY, which ended Mami’s run with the title in 56 days. For the main event, Bianca Belair, who was sitting ringside, had the best seat in the house. As it happened, The EST’s presence directly influenced the result of the match.
The 35-year-old took to X to break silence over what transpired on Raw. Having already punched her ticket to WrestleMania 41, Belair claimed that she was only there to lend her support to both Ripley and SKY. In such a high-stakes situation, the emotions were already running high. At one point, when Bianca was visibly rallying for IYO to beat the 10-count from the referee, Ripley felt irked.
She made a beeline for Belair and started verbally jousting over why she was cheering the Japanese wrestler over The Eradicator. All the talking soon escalated to physical blows that Ripley initiated by shoving Bianca. The latter slammed Rhea and called it childish behavior.
I already had my spot to wrESTleMania.

So I was cheering for BOTH of yall the whole match.
And then you come and push the 💩 outta me.
This is childish behavior.
I swear I’m really trying to manage everything but I just feel like I’m always in some 💩 man… idk I feel like I’m… https://t.co/JIaA1iQUzf
Belair admitted that she always ends up on the wrong side of things even when she’s trying to help others, the Knoxville native added in her X post. Another big plot worth keeping an eye on is the aftermath of Jade Cargill‘s return at the Elimination Chamber. At the PLE, while she was unloading on Belair’s tag team partner, Naomi, The EST was in dismay but couldn’t do anything whilst being locked inside the plexiglass pod.
What Rhea Ripley had to say after heartbreaking loss on Raw?
A day after that shocking title change on Raw, WWE has officially confirmed that IYO SKY will defend her Women’s World title against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41. In every sense, it isn’t as straightforward as it seems right now.
Rhea Ripley, who’s downtrodden for the time being, is expected to crawl her way back into this saga in the weeks to come. The former Judgment Day member spoke her heart out in a post-Raw interview with Jackie Redmond. She repeatedly called herself stupid for taking her eye off the ball in the crunch moments.
Having feuded with Liv Morgan and the rest of the new Judgment Day for months, Ripley asserted that she should’ve known better. Rhea didn’t pin the blame on IYO either, as she just did what she was supposed to do. However, the Aussie admitted being upset with Bianca seemingly rooting against her in that match on Raw.
Mami noted how The EST has always been a dream WrestleMania opponent of hers, also highlighting their humble beginnings in NXT. But the mere sight of Belair showing slightly more concern for SKY than Ripley broke the latter mentally. The fans are expecting Rhea to turn things around with almost six weeks to spare until WrestleMania 41.
