Over 60,000 fans packed Allegiant Stadium on April 20 for Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, and the action kicked off with a blockbuster triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship.
IYO SKY entered Las Vegas as champion, set initially to face Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair. But when Rhea Ripley ambushed both women during the contract signing, she forced her way into the title match—and changed the stakes completely.
The match opened with a high-octane atmosphere, made even bigger by Alicia Taylor’s live introductions. The physicality never slowed as Ripley, Belair, and SKY traded momentum in a furious clash. At one point, Ripley launched Belair with a Razor’s Edge onto IYO, asserting early dominance.
Belair, fighting to extend her undefeated WrestleMania streak, countered a Riptide with a powerful braid strike and followed with a KOD. When she seemed moments from victory, IYO landed her signature Over the Moonsault and stole the win to retain her title.
With IYO SKY emerging victorious, the story of WrestleMania 41’s Women’s Championship scene continues—and the road ahead for Ripley and Belair looks far from over.
