WWE loaded up the card for the big WWE Raw premiere on Monday night and the show featured several big moments. The Rock returned, CM Punk picked up a win over Seth Rollins, and Rhea Ripley defeated Liv Morgan to become the new WWE Women’s World Champion.
Rhea Ripley is once again on top of the women’s division, and it was reported during an episode of WrestleVotes Radio on Sportskeeda’s Backstage Pass that the title change was done to set the stage for WrestleMania 41.
“I think it becomes a numbers thing as we get closer to WrestleMania. You know, two world title matches for the women’s equals probably four participants. They wanted Rhea, obviously, to be one of those.”
“I think probably Becky and Charlotte’s going to be two and three. And I just don’t think they had a spot for Liv there. So they decided to take the title away from her.”
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan have been feuding for quite some time now, but it remains to be seen if their feud is finally over following their title match on Raw. One way or another it seems that Rhea is being positioned for a big match at WrestleMania this year.
