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

Cargill’s confidence was evident throughout the match. He would do a lunge and then immediately do a push-up, taunting Ripley. Cargill moved seamlessly around Ripley and did her best to dethrone Ripley and regain the championship after losing it at WrestleMania 42.

It turns out Ripley is too much to handle. The two faced off for several minutes before Cargill’s allies came to the ring. B-Fab looked like he had the Ripley match in his bag when he put Cargill’s foot on the rope and broke up the pin attempt.

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

With Cargill distracted, Ripley went on the offensive. He nailed Cargill with a head kick and then used Riptide to pin Cargill for the win. Flair watched Cargill exit the ring and then took a long look.

Ripley and Flair have an extensive history with each other; Their epic match at WrestleMania 39 is one of the highlights of their time together in the ring. Flair and Ripley grew closer during Ripley’s feud with Cargill, but their respective alliances are not the strongest.
