Rhea Ripley defeats Jade Cargill at Clash of Italy to retain the WWE Women’s Title

Rhea Ripley proved on Sunday at Clash in Italy why she is one of the most dominant female wrestlers on the roster with a victory over Jade Cargill to retain the WWE Women’s Championship.

Cargill’s confidence showed throughout the match. She would hit a move and then immediately taunt Ripley with push-ups. Cargill seamlessly moved around Ripley and did his best to try and dethrone Ripley and win back the title after losing it at WrestleMania 42.

Ripley proved to be too much to handle. The two went toe-to-toe for several minutes before Cargill’s ally came down to the ring. Ripley seemingly had the match in the bag when B-Fab put Cargill’s foot on the rope and broke up the pin attempt.

However, Charlotte Flair would come out of the stands and eliminate B-Fab and Michin. Flair then helped break up Cargill’s pin attempt after a Jaded.

With Cargill distracted, Ripley went on the offensive. She hit Cargill with a headbutt and then Riptide to pin Cargill for the win. Flair watched Cargill roll out of the ring and then went into a long stare.

Ripley and Flair have an extensive history with each other with their epic match at WrestleMania 39 being one of the highlights of their time together in the ring. Flair and Ripley have grown closer during Ripley’s feud with Cargill, but their own alliance isn’t exactly strong.

It feels like Flair could soon be looking for her own shot at the WWE Women’s Championship with a few months to go before a two-night SummerSlam in Minneapolis.
