WWE has announced an exciting battle royal on RAW this Monday, which will decide the next Women’s World Champion. This development follows the unfortunate news that Rhea Ripley had to vacate the title after sustaining a shoulder injury. Ripley, who had a dominant year-long reign and recently defended her title at WrestleMania 40, described her injury as a “total fluke” during an altercation with Liv Morgan on RAW.
The commercial aired during SmackDown previewed a formidable lineup for the battle royal, featuring top talents like Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, and several others. The inclusion of Xia Li in the commercial, despite recent reports of her no longer being with WWE, has sparked fan curiosity.
Ripley’s departure from active competition has heated the rivalry, particularly with Liv Morgan, whom Ripley blames for her injury. On the other hand, Morgan has remarked on the situation as “karma.” The tension adds a layer of intrigue to the upcoming battle, with Ripley warning the new champion that she will return with a vengeance in mind.
This Monday’s RAW promises to be a pivotal episode, with the battle royal set alongside other significant matches, including The Miz & R-Truth defending their World Tag Team titles against Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa. Fans are gearing up for an action-packed evening that will crown a new Women’s World Champion and shape the landscape of WWE’s women’s division moving forward.
