One night after Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka, “The Nightmare” had to defend her newly gained WWE RAW Women’s Championship against the former champion.
The competitors went all-out in this WrestleMania rematch, and Ripley proved that her win on Sunday was no fluke. She made it clear that she was ready for Asuka, but “The Empress of Tomorrow” gave the former NXT star everything she could handle. She dropped Ripley with a DDT onto the apron.

But Charlotte Flair used this moment to create an opportunity for herself. She angrily attacked the champion and the challenger. In the process, Flair reinserted herself into the title picture.
