A few weeks ago it was determined that fans would see Bianca Belair defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley at the Money in the Bank premium live event next month. Rhea Ripley earned a title shot when she won a fatal 4 way on Raw during the June 6th episode, but she will no longer be challenging for the title.
This week Bianca Belair kicked off Monday Night Raw as she cut a promo in the middle of the ring, and she announced that Rhea Ripley won’t be challenging for the belt at Money in the Bank because she’s not medically cleared to compete.
It was then announced that Becky Lynch, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss and Carmella would face off in a fatal 5 way to determine the next challenger for the Raw Women’s Championship.
In the end it was Carmella who earned the title shot after she put Liv Morgan away with a superkick. After the match Carmella taunted Bianca Belair who was sitting at ringside. Stay tuned for updates.
