WrestleMania 42: Iyo Sky helps Rhea Ripley win WWE women’s title over Jade Cargill

LAS VEGAS – Rhea Ripley’s road back to the top of the women’s division has been a long one, but she weathered the storm on Sunday night and recaptured the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Ripley earned a title shot by winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match in February. He chose to set his sights on Jade Cargill’s championship. A war of words then ensued between two goddess-like figures in the professional wrestling industry.

Cargill promised to bring this disrespect to Ripley, even turning B-Fab and Michin against Ripley in the process. The match at WrestleMania was supposed to be a one-on-one match, but Michin and B-Fab got in on the action.

Cargill had the advantage for most of the match. Just as the referee was about to send Michin and B-Fab off, Iyo Sky came to the rescue. He hit a springboard moonsault on B-Fab and Michin.

Ripley hit Cargill with a headbutt and Riptide. But he couldn’t get Cargill’s ID.

Cargill hit Ripley with a boot, but it almost didn’t work. Ripley countered Cargill’s finisher, putting it on Riptide and pinning it for the win.

This marks Cargill’s first WrestleMania loss since joining WWE.
