After winning the Women’s World Title, two weeks ago, Rhea Ripley will defend it at the upcoming WWE Specials, Saturday Nights Main Event 2025. As announced on the latest bygone episode of WWE Raw, two heavyweight superstars of the roster will collide on the show with the top prize hanging in the balance.
It’s been confirmed on Raw that Rhea Ripley will defend her Women’s World Championship against Nia Jax at the Saturday Nights Main Event 2025. The match announcement came after the two got into a physical confrontation, last night. Also, Jax has seemingly been transitioned into the Raw roster following her title loss.

On WWE Raw, Jax defeated Bayley who’s also been inserted into the red brand, as of last night. Ripley came out after the match and the two brawled following the events of earlier in the night which saw Jax jumping Ripley from behind as she was entering the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas.
They had to be separated by security, but eventually escaping their grasp, they went at each other again, with Nia Jax clearing the announce table. They were separated again, but Ripley ended up hitting Jax with a cannonball off the announce table that also took out everyone. Ripley then grabbed a microphone and said that they’d meet over her title at Saturday Nights Main Event 2025, this weekend.
