Rhea Ripley battled Becky Lynch in a classic WrestleMania match Saturday night. She retained her women's world championship via pinfall.
Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch heated up a chilly Lincoln Financial Field Saturday night to start WrestleMania 40 with the women's world championship on the line. Ripley and Lynch put on a classic match for the Philadelphia fans. It started with Lynch narrating excerpts from her book, 'The Man: Not Your Average Girl,' before she entered the ring. Motionless in White, the band known for Ripley’s theme song, performed 'Demon in Your Dreams' live.
Then, it was time to get to work. Lynch worked on the tweaked wrist of Ripley, dragging her down by the arm as 'The Eradicator' tried to inflict damage from the top rope. Lynch planted Ripley with a tornado DDT but only picked up a two-count. Lynch had all the momentum. She hit a leg drop as Ripley was hanging over the middle rope. She then slammed Ripley into the barricade. Taking her back into the ring, Lynch hit a leg drop from the middle rope. But, again, only a two-count.
Lynch avoided an early riptide attempt, and Lynch got Ripley into an armbar on the wrist. Ripley picked up Lynch and powerbombed her twice before delivering a sit-down powerbomb. Ripley and Lynch both gave each other everything they had, including slaps, headbutts, armbars and finishing maneuvers. A missed leg drop nearly cost Lynch the match as Ripley applied the prison trap in the middle of the ring. Lynch, somehow, turned it into a pinning maneuver.
Ripley pinned Lynch to retain the title she initially won against Charlotte Flair at the last WrestleMania. Is there anyone in the women's division who can stop Ripley? Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
