Iyo Sky shocked Raw viewers last night after she defeated
Rhea Ripley to become the new WWE Women’s World champion,
securing her spot on the WrestleMania 41 card.
The match, which main evented Raw on Netflix, had Bianca
Belair at ringside and she got physical with Ripley at one
point, only for referee Jessika Carr to break it off.
Ripley’s mistake was taunting Belair before hitting her
Riptide finisher off the top rope, with Sky reversing it
with a hurricanrana and then a moonsault for the pinfall
victory.
The title change got a huge pop from the crowd, with
probably no one expecting that result so close to
WrestleMania.
This is her first run with the Women’s World title and is a
grand slam champion having won the WWE Women’s and NXT
Women’s titles as well as the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.
