Rhea Ripley Victorious Over Bayley; Carmella Misses Raw; Asuka Finally Attacks Belair

On the March 20 episode of Raw, we witnessed a couple of matches from the women as we are just two weeks out from WrestleMania 39.

The Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley who will face Charlotte Flair at the big event went to the ring to cut a promo. She promises to defeat Flair at Mania and become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Her promo was interrupted by Damage CTRL who heckled her and let her know that Raw belongs to them. This led to a match between Ripley and Bayley. In this match, Ripley would have to take the babyface role despite her current character.

Once Bayley was able to maintain some offense and take control of the match, the Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita along with Trish Stratus make their way out to the ring. Lynch with a giant bag of popcorn just to witness the match. This distracts Bayley severely despite having both Dakota Kai and IYO SKY at ringside. The trio who arrived were able to keep the rest of Damage CTRL at bay long enough for Ripley to hit the Riptide and get the big win over Bayley keeping her looking strong for Mania.

A backstage segment took place between WWE’s resident Karen, Chelsea Green with Adam Pearce. Pearce was attempting to explain the WrestleMania Showcase matches when Green approached him. Green let Pearce know that for whatever reason, Carmella was not present for their tag team match tonight. This led Green to take matters in her own hands and wanted Piper Niven as her partner who was with her. Green states that if Pearce doesn’t allow this to happen she will go to the manager. Niven replaces Carmella in the tag team match.

That match was against the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and her WrestleMania opponent Asuka. Yes, they did the “can they co-exist match.” It turns out they were able to co-exist as Belair and Asuka would pick up the win after Belair pinned Niven after a KOD.

Post match, Asuka finally attacked Belair for the first time since their “rivalry” started. This left the Raw Women’s Champion laid out in the the ring to end the segment.

The fight between Otis or Otise continues to go between Maxxine Dupri and Chad Gable. Otis would accompany Gable to ringside for his match, however, Dupri would come out to take Otise away from the ringside area.

Lita Wants To Help Elevate The Women’s Tag Team Titles

On this week’s episode of WWE The Bump, the guests in the studio were both Lita and Liv Morgan. Trish Stratus was also on the show. During the broadcast, there was a lot of talk of March being Women’s History Month combined with March 8 being International Women’s Day. Lita and Morgan first started off … Read more

Six-Woman Tag Team Match Added To WrestleMania 39

WrestleMania 39 has now a third women’s match added to its card as a six-woman tag team match is official. The newly crowned WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch & Lita will team up with Trish Stratus to take on all three members of Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY). On the … Read more

Lita & Becky Lynch Crowned NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, Trish Stratus Returns

We have new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions just five weeks before WrestleMania 39!

And if you asked me who that would be even a month ago, I wouldn’t be able to even fathom that it is WWE Hall of Famer Lita and Becky Lynch! Lita and Becky Lynch defeated Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and IYO SKY) in the main event of the Feb. 27 episode of Raw to become champions. This ends Damage CTRL’s reign at 115 days and this is the first time both Lita and Lynch have won tag team gold.

This is Lita’s first championship since 2006.

If this wasn’t enough, fellow Hall of Famer and bestie of Lita, Trish Stratus made her return. She would come out in the last few minutes of the match as Bayley was doing everything she can to try and have Damage CTRL retain. Stratus came out and targeted Bayley. The final moments of the match had Lita going up top for a Litasault but Bayley hopped up on the apron to stop her. This led to Stratus pulling down Bayley. Kai on the other side tried to stop Lita as well but was taken down by Lynch. Lita was able to execute her Litasault on SKY and get the three-count crowning new champions.

Lita, Lynch, and Stratus celebrate in the ring as pyro goes off to end the show.

There were two other women’s matches on this week’s Raw.

Piper Niven took on Candice LeRae. LeRae made her way out to the ring with Nikki Cross creeping behind her. Cross stayed at ringside for the match. This match didn’t get as much time as the other two women’s matches but progressed the storyline a bit with Cross being taken out by Niven when she tried to get involved. This caused too much of a distraction for Niven so LeRae picked up the victory. LeRae rushed to the back after the match without Cross who was laid out at ringside.

Asuka also took on Carmella this week and for the first time in a singles match, Asuka has been able to defeat Carmella. This match was given a nice bit of time and was a solid match – giving Carmella a lot of offense. Unfortunately for Mella, she wasn’t able to break out of the armbar submission that Asuka has been using to take out all of her opponents since returning at the Royal Rumble.

Post-match, Asuka called out Bianca Belair. Belair responded and made her way to the ring. However, the talk between the two didn’t last long as Carmella would attack Asuka from behind, pushing her into Belair and knocking them both down.

Moments later, we see that Chelsea Green was in Adam Pearce’s office. She was complaining that she was sent to Ottawa, Illinois last week instead of Ottawa, Canada. She asked Pearce how she was supposed to know there was an Ottawa, Canada, but Pearce reminded her that she is from Canada. Carmella would come in to interrupt.

Pearce received a phone call he had to take but told Carmella that she would face Belair next week. Then, Carmella and Chelsea introduced themselves to one another. Both seemed to vibe with one another and liked each other’s style.

Maxxine Dupri continues to scout Otis. Backstage, Dupri told Otis that he needs to get a match and she would be at ringside for him. He got a match against Johnny Gargano, but would end up losing the match after Dexter Lumis appeared to take care of Maximum Male Models who were trying to take out Gargano at ringside.

Lita Returns To Raw, Helps Lynch Defeat Bayley In Steel Cage

Fans finally got the steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley on the Feb. 6 episode of Raw. And what made it better was it being in the main event where it belongs. The match would end with Lynch victorious after delivering a ManHandle Slam, however, she did get some help. Some help from a Hall of Famer – Lita.

The final moments of the match had Bayley trying to win by escaping the cage. She climbed to the top but Lynch followed her. Lynch tried locking in the DisarmHer on the top of the cage but couldn’t get all of it. Bayley fell down the cage inside the ring to the mat.

With Lynch still at the top of the cage, IYO SKY climbed up and traded blows with Lynch. This continued until she was able to get Lynch back down to the ring. SKY wasn’t able to get back down the cage before Lita’s music hit. She ran down to the ring, pulled SKY off the cage before making sure Dakota Kai wasn’t an issue either. She then slammed the steel cage door on Bayley allowing Lynch to hit her finisher for the win.

From one Hall of Famer to another, we now know that Beth Phoenix will team with Edge to face Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber.

REWIND: Flair, Lynch, & Carmella Come Face to Face SmackDown Live 08.14.18

It has been over four years since Carmella has held singles gold in WWE. Since then she has gone on to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion along with Zelina Vega.

On the Aug. 14 episode of SmackDown Live in 2018, then-SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella came face to face with her SummerSlam opponents Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. After losing to both Lynch and Flair in non-title bouts, both women were set to face Carmella at the biggest event of the summer in a Triple Threat match. Lynch originally had thought that she was going to face Carmella one-on-one.

This segment between the three women led to Flair stating that the fans don’t like Carmella because she is a Diva living in a women’s era. To which Carmella responded – “I am a Diva and I am damn proud of it. I have something you two will never have. Compare my beauty to yours. Compare my body to yours. Compare my charisma to yours. Oh, I have one more comparison. I am the champ and you’re not.”

The three would go on to have their match at SummerSlam where Flair would become the new champion after pinning Lynch. Carmella’s reign lasted 131 days. Post-match, Lynch turned heel by attacking Flair.

You can watch the full match below which has 6.1 million views on YouTube. The segment from SmackDown Live has 1.2 million views.

Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss Set For Number One Contender Match

After two Triple Threat battles with all former Raw Women’s Champions on the Dec. 5 episode of Raw, Bayley and Alexa Bliss have earned a Raw Women’s Championship number one contendership match. They will face off next week with the winner going on to face the champion – Bianca Belair.

On this week’s Raw, Bayley won the first Triple Threat match after pinning Asuka off of the Rose Plant finisher. Also in the match was Rhea Ripley. A strong match between the three also had a post-match assault from Ripley to Asuka as she takes out her frustrations from her loss.

Prior to the match, Becky Lynch and Bayley exchanged words. Lynch came down from the crowd to join Bayley in the ring. With Lynch being in the main event in the second Triple Threat, she was hoping Bayley would win so they could face each other next week. As Ripley was heading to the ring, Lynch made her way to the back and the two exchanged a stare down that certainly gave fans something to look forward to at some point in the future.

The second women’s match was the main event with Lynch taking on Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss. Another lengthy match for the women ended with Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY and Dakota Kai interfering. They pulled Lynch out of the ring and eventually carried her over to the announce table to powerbomb her through it. This allowed Bliss to pick up to victory on Cross after delivering Twisted Bliss.

Earlier in the night when Bliss was getting ready for her match, the Bray Wyatt symbol showed up again on the TV screen behind her for a second. During the Triple Threat, Bliss did exhibit some hints of turning back to Evil Bliss but it never fully committed. She did go for Sister Abigail on Lynch but the move was not executed.

Elsewhere for the women on this week’s Raw, Dana Brooke, Tamina, and Mia Yim were part of the poker game in the back. Yim did accompany The O.C. to the ring for their match.

After getting a big win against Dakota Kai last week, Candice LeRae was interviewed backstage. It was revealed that she will be facing IYO SKY next week. During the interview, for the second week in a row, Nikki Cross was spotted in the background spying on LeRae.

The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair was interviewed backstage as well this week discussing who could potentially be her upcoming opponent.

Becky Lynch Brawls With Damage CTRL; Candice LeRae Returns

The Monday Night Raw after Survivor Series WarGames opened up with the woman who won the WarGames Match for Team Bianca – Becky Lynch.

After embracing the WWE Universe, Lynch made her way out into the crowd and started incorporating them into her promo confirming that she is the man of the people. Shortly after, Bayley came out to address her. While Lynch was still in the crowd, Bayley and The Man exchange words back and forth getting the crowd members involved.

This takes place until the rest of Damage CTRL (IYO SKY and Dakota Kai) attack Lynch. As Bayley joins, the three-on-one assault escalates up to the merch stand until all parties involved are pulled apart by officials.

Directly after this, a small video of Rhea Ripley is played before she comes out to face “Michin” Mia Yim. The two rivals who participated in WarGames just 48 hours ago were putting on a stellar match until Judgment Day and The OC got involved which caused a no-contest finish. This then turned into the four-on-four tag team match that was highly anticipated between both factions.

Much like Yim vs. Ripley, this match was also very well received and it included the women even briefly interacting with the men instead of acknowledging mixed tag team rules. The result would come down to Yim and Ripley (as it should) with Ripley picking up the win for Judgment Day off of Riptide. This was after Yim bodyslammed Finn Balor and then targeted Dominik Mysterio.

Moments later, a video was shown about Candice LeRae and how she was taken out a month ago by Damage CTRL. She is back and was walking down a hallway backstage. She was stopped for an interview where she addressed Dakota Kai in particular because she had a match with her later in the night. While LeRae was walking down the hallway, Nikki Cross was hiding as we saw her peek out to take a glance at LeRae.

As stated, LeRae and Kai have a match later in the night. The match was given plenty of time and showcased both women very well. LeRae started the match quickly by attacking Kai when she was making her entrance. Bayley and SKY would attempt to come down to the ring to help but were sent to the back so there was nobody out at ringside. Despite Kai pulling out many moves in her arsenal including the scorpion kick, she wasn’t able to get the victory. LeRae defeated one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions with a top rope neck breaker.

Finally, three women from WarGames we hadn’t seen yet were Asuka, Alexa Bliss, and the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. Commentary stated that due to the WarGames match, the three women weren’t cleared to compete. They also said despite Bayley and SKY being involved in the brawl earlier in the night, they were also not cleared to compete on Raw. SKY had on a neck brace during the brawl.

There was a backstage interview with Asuka, Bliss, and Belair where they were commenting on WarGames and including Becky Lynch as the final member paying off for their team. Belair stated that every plan Damage CTRL had backfired since SummerSlam. She also would say she is happy to put all of that behind her. Before they began to speak, the Wyatt 6 symbol appeared on the screen behind them. Bliss was checked out during the interview and not engaged. After Asuka spoke, Cathy Kelley asked Bliss if she had anything to add. After clearly being zoned out during the interview, Bliss woke up and said she agreed with what Belair had to say.
