Rhea Ripley claimed victory over Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 on Saturday to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion after a brutal match that left everything in the ring. However, there are concerns that Ripley might have suffered a bump that caused her to be knocked out during the match.
In a media scrum after the event, Ripley was asked about her condition, and she revealed that she may have been knocked out during the match. Despite this, Ripley said that she feels great and is happy to have won the title, but also mentioned that her elbow is a bit banged up. She plans to take it easy and eat before partying with the Judgment Day after WrestleMania Sunday, as Finn Balor still has a Hell in a Cell match against Edge.
Ripley’s victory puts her in a strong position as she begins her reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion. It remains to be seen how long she will hold the title, but Ripley’s toughness and resilience will make it difficult for any challenger to take it away from her.
