Rhea Ripley is the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Ripley defeated Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42 Sunday (Night Two), to become the new champion.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WrestleMania 42 Sunday recap, of how the title change went down.
Michin appears on the apron, so the referee admonishes her. Ripley goes for a Razor’s Edge on Cargill, but B-Fab pulls her down. The referee didn’t see that. Cargill sidesteps Ripley, and Ripley hits the ring post with her shoulder. Michin kicks Ripley’s head into the ring post as Cargill distracts the referee. Cargill hits Ripley with the Sandstorm. 1… 2… Ripley kicks out. Cargill throws Ripley out of the ring and shouts for Michin and B-Fab to get her. The referee is watching everything. IYO SKY runs down for the save. Sky sends Michin into B-Fab. Sky hits B-Fab with a Shotei uppercut before hitting Michin with a backfist and a Shotei uppercut. Cargill goes for a big boot, but Sky hits an Asai Moonsault on B-Fab and Michin.
Ripley headbutts Cargill and goes for a Riptide. Cargill gets out of it and tries for Jaded, but Ripley drops down and avoids it. Ripley connects with the Riptide for the win!
