Rhea Ripley Turns Chaos into Triumph After Unacceptable Loss, Dismantling Bianca Belair and IYO SKY in Just Five Minutes

In a night filled with drama, tension, and sheer unpredictability, Rhea Ripley once again proved why she remains one of the most dominant forces in WWE’s women’s division. The March 31, 2025, episode of WWE Raw, broadcast live from The O2 Arena in London, England, delivered a main event that will be remembered for years to come. What started as a Women’s World Championship match between Ripley and the reigning champion IYO SKY, with Bianca Belair as the special guest referee, quickly spiraled into chaos. After being dealt an unjust double disqualification ruling, Ripley unleashed her fury, taking down both Belair and SKY in a stunning display of power that lasted just five minutes.

The buildup to this explosive moment had been brewing for weeks on the road to WrestleMania 41. Ripley, who lost her Women’s World Championship to IYO SKY on March 3, had been relentless in her pursuit to reclaim the title. Meanwhile, Bianca Belair, fresh off her victory in the 2025 Women’s Elimination Chamber, had earned her spot to challenge for the championship at WrestleMania. The dynamic between the three women had been volatile, with Ripley accusing Belair of costing her the title in her initial loss to SKY, and Belair insisting that Ripley hadn’t earned her way back into the title picture. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce attempted to settle the dispute by booking this high-stakes rematch, with Belair donning the referee stripes to add an extra layer of intrigue.

The match itself was a showcase of athleticism and intensity from the opening bell. Ripley and SKY traded blows, each demonstrating their signature resilience and skill. Belair, positioned as the official, found herself tested early on as both competitors demanded quick counts and swift decisions. However, the turning point came when the action spilled outside the ring. Ripley delivered a devastating Razor’s Edge to SKY, only for the champion to kick out at two. Frustrated, Ripley turned her attention to Belair, who had hesitated during the count. The situation escalated when SKY attempted a high-flying dropkick from the top rope, only to accidentally strike Belair after Ripley dodged at the last second. With Belair knocked to the floor, chaos ensued.

What followed was a decision that left fans in disbelief. Belair, visibly shaken and fed up, climbed back into the ring and called for the bell, ruling the match a double disqualification. The reasoning? Both Ripley and SKY had inadvertently made contact with her during the match, and she deemed it sufficient grounds to end the contest. For Ripley, who had SKY pinned for what she claimed was a ten-second count earlier in the match—only for Belair to be absent from the ring—this was an unacceptable outcome. The London crowd erupted in boos, echoing Ripley’s own disbelief as she stood in the ring, robbed of what she believed was a rightful victory.

But Rhea Ripley is not one to let injustice stand unanswered. As SKY and Belair attempted to regroup, Ripley snapped. What unfolded next was a masterclass in destruction, clocking in at under five minutes but leaving an indelible mark on WWE history. First, she targeted SKY, hoisting the champion onto her shoulders and driving her into the mat with a thunderous Riptide. The crowd roared as SKY lay motionless, but Ripley wasn’t done. Turning her sights on Belair, who had begun to argue with her from the ropes, Ripley charged forward. In a breathtaking moment, she ascended to the second rope, grabbed Belair, and executed an Avalanche Riptide, sending the Elimination Chamber winner crashing to the canvas.

By the time the dust settled, Ripley stood tall, the Women’s World Championship belt in her hands, raised high above her head. The message was clear: whether the title was officially hers or not, she would not be denied her moment. Posts on X captured the sentiment of the night, with fans praising Ripley’s ferocity and questioning Belair’s controversial call. While the double disqualification kept SKY as champion and preserved the scheduled WrestleMania 41 match against Belair, Ripley’s actions shifted the narrative entirely.

As WrestleMania 41 approaches, set for April 19 and 20 in Las Vegas, the women’s title picture remains shrouded in uncertainty. Ripley’s rampage has reignited calls for her inclusion in the championship match, with many arguing that her dominance cannot be ignored. For now, she has made her statement loud and clear: no referee, no ruling, and no rival will stand in her way. In just five minutes, Rhea Ripley turned an unacceptable loss into a triumphant display of retribution, leaving both Bianca Belair and IYO SKY—and the WWE Universe—in awe of her unrelenting power.
