Despite Becky Lynch’s valiant effort at WrestleMania 40, she was unable to dethrone Rhea Ripley and become a seven-time women’s champion in the WWE. Ripley secured her victory by delivering a powerful Riptide on her, pinning her shoulders to the mat for a clean three count which further delivered Ripley one of the biggest wins of her career.
With this win, the thought was that Ripley would extend her title reign further. But on this week’s Raw, she had to vacate the title due to a legit injury.
