WWE's Rhea Ripley takes down Becky Lynch to retain the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 40
WrestleMania 40 got things underway with the battle for the WWE Women's World Championship, featuring two of WWE 's biggest superstars in Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch . Lynch was wrestling at less than 100%, but even a high temperature of 102 couldn't keep Lynch from competing. Lynch targeted Ripley's shoulder and arm to set her up for the Dis-Arm-Her, while Ripley punished Lynch with powerful slams and some submissions of her own.
— WWE April 6, 2024 Lynch got hit with a power slam and then hit with a suplex, but she kicked out of Ripley's cover attempt. Lynch managed to counter a vertical suplex into an inside cradle but Ripley picked Lynch right back up for another suplex and got the result she wanted the second time around. Lynch got right back into the match though, bringing down Ripley from the top rope and then unleashing a combo of strikes and kicks before hitting a DDT into a cover attempt.
Lynch then shoved Ripley into the ring post and then grabbed Ripley's arm and twisted it around the ropes before locking in the armbar and following it up with a slam of Ripley's head to the post. Lynch got caught after hitting the ground though, and Ripley locked in a submission in the center of the ring. Lynch rolled them over and broke the hold, and then she avoided Riptide again and hit the Manhandle Slam into a cover, only for Ripley to kick out.
