Bianca Belair Takes Shot At Rhea Ripley Over WrestleMania Contract

Bianca Belair is not backing down from Rhea Ripley following this week’s episode of WWE Raw where Ripley got involved in Belair’s contract signing with IYO SKY for the Women’s World Title.

Ripley was originally planning to defend the title against Belair at WrestleMania 41 Belair had earned the right to challenge Ripley for it after winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match.

Last week on Raw, SKY beat Ripley for the title in the main event as Belair watched on. It was a shocking title change, considering the star power between Ripley and Belair alone.

On this week’s episode of Raw, SKY and Belair had a contract signing. Sky declared that after WrestleMania, she would remain Women’s World Champion, vowing to tolerate no further disrespect from anyone, including Belair and Ripley. The crowd responded with enthusiastic chants of “You deserve it.”

Belair, while expressing respect for Sky, reiterated her intent to leave WrestleMania as champion, echoing her previous message to Ripley. Both women then signed the contract.

However, the peaceful signing was disrupted when Ripley’s music hit, eliciting a massive crowd reaction. Belair taunted Ripley about missing out on a title match, and Ripley claimed she was merely observing. A heated exchange ensued, leading Sky to intervene, but Belair dismissed her. Ripley then headbutted Belair onto the contract signing table.

Sky attempted to retaliate, but Ripley powerbombed her onto Belair, though the table remained intact. Ripley then signed the contract and left with it, followed by a visibly frustrated Adam Pearce.

Belair took to social media to react to the segment. She wrote, “He said it, I didn’t. Childish… Someone please explain to her how a contract works…. Or…does someone else wanna come out next week, sign a contract that doesn’t have their name on it.. and make it a fatal 4-way while we’re at it…STAY👏🏾OUTTA👏🏾MY👏🏾BUSINESS👏🏾”

WWE presents the WrestleMania 41 premium live event on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. This expected triple-threat match could easily headline night one of the event if WWE opts to do so.
