Rhea Ripley has doubled down on her shocking actions on Raw as she puts herself back in line for a Women’s World Championship shot at WWE WrestleMania 41.

IYO SKY surprised everyone when she captured the Women’s World Title from Rhea Ripley. That win came thanks to something of a distraction from Bianca Belair who will challenge the champion at WrestleMania 41 after her win in the Elimination Chamber.

However, things are now not as straightforward after the March 17 edition of Raw as those who do not their history are doomed to repeat it, and Adam Pearce appeared not to know his.

Rhea Ripley Takes Inspiration From Shawn Michaels

After the 2004 Royal Rumble, WWE held a contract signing on Raw to make the WrestleMania 20 World Heavyweight Championship match official between Royal Rumble winner Chris Benoit and champion Triple H. However, Shawn Michaels, never one to shy away from inserting himself into a situation he’s not needed, interfered and ended up signing his own name on the dotted line leading to a triple threat match being made.

So on Raw in Brussels, that exact situation played out with Belair and SKY meant to sign their contract for WrestleMania 41 but Rhea Ripley playing the role of spoiler and signing her own name for the match.

Rhea Ripley has taken to social media to share the clip of her confronting Adam Pearce backstage about the match as she urged him again to “MAKE IT OFFICIAL!”

Reports have suggested that WWE’s plans have always been for a triple threat match for the title involving Ripley, Belair, and SKY to take place in Las Vegas.
