Report: WWE WrestleMania 41 Plans For Rhea Ripley Revealed Following Shock Title Change

Although she is no longer the Women's World Champion, Rhea Ripley will still be a featured performer at WrestleMania 41.

According to WrestleVotes on a Backstage Pass Q&A, the expectation within WWE is that IYO SKY will defend the Women's World Title against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat at WrestleMania.

"The anticipation is that match turns into a three-way at WrestleMania. That's from what I heard today. Fully expecting that match to turn into a Triple Threat by the time we get to Las Vegas was what I was told. So if the spice isn't there between Bianca and IYO don't worry, it's gonna shape out to be a little bit different," WrestleVotes said.

The assumption following Monday Night Raw was that it would be IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Title at WrestleMania, especially after interference from Bianca Belair allowed SKY to win the championship.

The finish of Ripley vs. SKY on Monday Night Raw saw Bianca Belair cheer on SKY as she looked to get back in the ring before the count of 10. SKY ultimately made it back into the ring in time and Ripley took out her frustration on Belair, pushing the Women's Elimination Chamber Match winner. Belair then pushed Ripley back, something which didn't lead to a DQ.

Ripley later focused on Belair when she set up for an avalanche Riptide on SKY which allowed IYO to counter with a Hurricanrana and follow up with a Moonsault for the win.
