The two will finally be going one-on-one as Nia Jax will challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. This will be in Ripley’s home country of Australia in Perth.
The match was made official on the Feb. 5 episode of Raw by General Manager Adam Pearce. Ripley made her way out to the ring “unscheduled” and called out Jax because she was furious about what took place last week. Pearce made his way out and told her this wasn’t gonna happen now, but at Elimination Chamber.
Jax made her way out anyway and ran over Pearce to get to Ripley in the ring. Security was called but it didn’t stop Jax from taking out Ripley once again with the Annihilator.
The last time Ripley defended the title at a premium live event was in November at Survivor Series against Zoey Stark.
