IYO SKY will walk into WrestleMania as a champion for the second time in a row, after capturing the Women’s World Championship on Raw. During the main event of the March 3, edition of Raw, SKY dethroned Ripley to win her second singles title on the main roster.
Despite SKY’s immense skill, many are seeing this victory as a major upset given the high-profile of Rhea Ripley. Many had assumed that it’d be Ripley Vs. Bianca Belair, the winner of the 2025 Women’s Elimination Chamber match, at WrestleMania 41. Not only are Mami and the EST two of WWE’s most popular female talents, but they both arrived on WWE’s main roster around the same time. Instead, it will be SKY who puts gold on the line against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania.
This title change raises questions as to what Rhea Ripley’s creative direction for WrestleMania looks like. Some fans have speculated on her finding a way into the title match, making it a triple-threat contest. Some believe Ripley could resume her feud with Liv Morgan, this time for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Whatever happens, the Road to WrestleMania sure got a lot more complicated during the March 3, 2025, edition of WWE Raw.
