WrestleMania 42: Iyo Sky helps Rhea Ripley win the WWE Women’s Title over Jade Cargill

LAS VEGAS – Rhea Ripley’s road back to the top of the women’s division was long, but on Sunday night she weathered the storm and reclaimed the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Ripley won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match back in February to earn a shot at a title. She chose to set her sights on Jade Cargill’s championship. What happened next was a war of words between the two goddess-like figures in the professional wrestling industry.

Cargill vowed to bring the disrespect to Ripley, even turning B-Fab and Michin against Ripley in the process. The match at WrestleMania was supposed to be a one-on-one match, but Michin and B-Fab got involved in the action.

Cargill had the advantage for most of the match. And just as the referee was about to eject Michin and B-Fab, Iyo Sky came to the rescue. She hit a springboard moonsault on B-Fab and Michin.
