WWE Hell In A Cell 2021 has officially received the first match on the card to be contested over RAW Women’s Championship. Charlotte Flair will challenge Rhea Ripley in a one-on-one capacity. While it’s been announced that the RAW Women’s Title will be on the line in a standard title match, we wonder whether this match will take place inside the Cell structure or not. No confirmation was provided regarding the same.
Asuka was originally next in line to get a shot to the Raw Women’s Title title as she defeated Charlotte Flair on last week’s Raw. But this week, the rematch took place where Flair picked up a roll-up win over the Empress Of Tomorrow. She got out of the Asuka Lock submission and reversed it for a roll-up victory. Following this win, WWE officially announced Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley at Hell In A Cell 2021.

These two superstars have competed in a singles match at WrestleMania 36 where Charlotte defeated Ripley to win the NXT Women’s Title for the second time in her career. Last month at WrestleMania Backlash, Ripley retained Raw Women’s Title in a Triple Threat also featuring Flair and Asuka. She pinned Asuka to win that match meaning that she had to pin or submit Flair for the very first time at Hell in a Cell 2021 to have another successful title defense.

Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston or Drew McIntyre will challenge WWE Champion Bobby Lashley over the WWE Title at the upcoming pay-per-view.
