Rhea Ripley successfully defended her WWE Women's World Championship against the relentless Nia Jax at Saturday Night's Main Event. The match was a back-and-forth battle of power and resilience, with both Superstars showcasing their strengths. Ripley ultimately emerged victorious, setting her course for a potential WrestleMania showdown against the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble.
Saturday Night's Main Event offered three opportunities for Championship glory, kicking off with an anticipated clash for the WWE Women's World Championship between Rhea Ripley and Nia Jax . From the outset, Jax displayed aggression, but Ripley met it head-on. The match became a duel of wills, each Superstar striving to land their finishing move. While Jax relentlessly attempted her Annihilator three times, it was Ripley who ultimately connected with the Riptide, securing the victory.
This win propels Ripley into the Royal Rumble as one of two Champions eligible to be challenged by the Rumble winner, setting her on a direct path to WrestleMania 41. Jax wasted no time, launching an attack before the bell even rang. Ripley retaliated swiftly with a devastating DDT and a cannonball off the ring apron, sending Jax crashing to the floor. Jax regained momentum with a brutal headbutt that stunned Ripley, followed by a Samoan Drop into a cover, but Ripley managed to kick out. During a commercial break, Ripley regained control, unleashing powerful chops and strikes. Despite her efforts, she couldn't keep Jax down. Ripley landed a remarkable reversal into a Code Red, but Jax narrowly kicked out. Jax countered Ripley's Riptide attempt with a Samoan Drop and followed with a Leg Drop, but Ripley kicked out again. Jax aimed for the Annihilator once more, but Ripley intercepted her, delivering a massive power bomb. Instead of pinning Jax, Ripley went for a submission hold, but Jax kicked her away before it could be locked in. Jax then hit an impressive Uranage, sending Ripley crashing against the ring apron. Jax attempted the Annihilator again, but Ripley stopped her, leading to Jax being knocked to the floor. Ripley ascended to the top rope and connected with a crossbody, pinning Jax to the mat. However, Jax rallied back in the ring, regaining momentum and targeting the Annihilator once more. Despite the odds, Ripley managed to rise and bring Jax down, setting up the final blow – the Riptide. Ripley's victory guarantees her position as the World Women's Champion entering the Royal Rumble. This means the Women's Rumble winner can choose to challenge Ripley for her Championship or opt to face Tiffany Stratton. The anticipation builds as we await not only the Rumble winner but also their decision regarding WrestleMania 41's main event.
