Rhea Ripley was as shocked at the conclusion of this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.
The Mami defended her Women’s Championship against IYO SKY in the main event of the show, with the 2025 Women’s Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair looking on from the ringside. The two competitors fought hard proving themselves to be main event worthy. The action went outside the ring towards the ending of the bout with both women brawling in front of Belair.
Belair and Rhea then got into a heated exchange after which Ripley shoved the former Tag Team Champion onto her chair. Belair responded by having a go at the defending champion in return. A scuffle like this generally results in disqualification but Referee Jessika Carr decided that a main event title match will not stop over this kind of bickering.

Rhea Ripley got back into the ring and went for a Riptide. SKY, however, countered it into an avalanche Frankensteiner, following with a Diving moonsault for the surprise pin. The show went off air with IYO celebrating her victory. The Judgement Day star remained at the ringside in disbelief for a while after the broadcast ended, before finally heading to the back.
Bianca on the other hand, confronted IYO SKY who she will now be challenging for the title at WrestleMania 41 before heading to the back. The new champion remained in the arena the longest, greeting the fans for a while after her big victory at the show before going out.
