WrestleMania 41: IYO SKY's Championship Win Sparks Triple Threat Showdown
Exciting Developments Leading to WrestleMania 41
WWE has been gearing up for WrestleMania 41 with significant plot twists, as showcased in the recent episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix. The previous week saw a shift in the women’s world title, yet the former champion remains a key player in the title scene, hinting at a multi-competitor match at the year's most anticipated premium live event.
During the March 3 episode of WWE Raw, IYO SKY claimed the Women’s World Championship by defeating Rhea Ripley (c) in the main event, with Bianca Belair, the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber 2025, present at ringside. Following this, WWE confirmed a title match between IYO SKY and Bianca Belair for WrestleMania 41.
In a recent interview on Raw from Madison Square Garden, Michael Cole spoke with SKY, who expressed her thrill about her championship victory, the venue, and her upcoming match at WrestleMania 41. Belair joined her in the ring, and Cole raised the question of whether Ripley would still hold the title if Belair hadn’t been present.
Tensions Rise Among WrestleMania 41 Contenders
Bianca highlighted her Elimination Chamber victory and her desire to observe her WrestleMania 41 opponent firsthand as reasons for her ringside presence. This led to Rhea Ripley confronting Belair, with Bianca suggesting that Ripley was defensive, knowing she couldn't defeat 'The Genius of the Sky' alone.
As SKY attempted to intervene, Ripley pushed her away, accusing Bianca of hiding behind her. This prompted Bianca to retaliate, leading to a heated exchange where SKY slapped both competitors, concluding the segment with a pointed gesture towards the WrestleMania 41 sign.
