Rhea Ripley shockingly dropped the Women's World Championship to IYO SKY on WWE RAW. While many could think this was a way to write The Eradicator off of television due to an injury, that is not the case.
Ripley interrupted Liv Morgan and IYO SKY's Elimination Chamber qualifying match, which resulted in Liv emerging victorious. The Eradicator decided to make it up to SKY by giving her an opportunity to capture the Women's World Title on this week's WWE RAW. During the match, Mami's focus was divided due to the presence of Bianca Belair, ultimately causing her to lose the championship.
Rhea Ripley is not injured and despite surprisingly losing the Women's World Championship, she will most likely remain active on the Road to WrestleMania 41. According to WrestleVotes during the latest Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, even if IYO will be defending the Women's World Championship against Bianca at The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Eradicator will later get involved and her involvement will lead to a triple threat for the title.

"The anticipation is that the match turns into a three-way at WrestleMania. That's from what I heard today. Fully expecting that match to turn into a triple threat by the time we get to Las Vegas was what I was told. So if the spice isn't there between Bianca and IYO, don't worry, it's going to shape out to be a little bit different."
Bianca Belair won the 2025 Women's Elimination Chamber, which earned her the opportunity to battle for the Women's World Title at WrestleMania. Other names involved in the match were Naomi, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Alexa Bliss, and Bayley.
Is Rhea Ripley mad at IYO SKY and Bianca Belair for losing the Women's World Championship on WWE RAW?
It's easy for The Eradicator to blame The EST of WWE for distracting her during the match and The Genius of the Sky, who was supposed to be her friend, for taking advantage of it. However, she blamed the loss on herself.
During a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond following the Monday show, Rhea Ripley said she can't be mad at SKY and Bianca. Mami stated she is only disappointed in herself since she should have known better after what she went through with Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and the rest of The Judgment Day.
It remains to be seen what is next for Rhea Ripley en route to WrestleMania 41.
