Rhea Ripley to face fierce competition in Saudi Arabia, Crown Jewel

In a whirlwind turn of events, the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is set to defend her title at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against an assembly of fierce competitors from the “WWE Raw” women’s division.

The Monday night showdown between Ripley and Shayna Baszler took an unexpected twist when Nia Jax, seemingly seeking payback for Ripley’s actions in the prior week, decided to intervene. Jax’s interference, however, was short-lived as Raquel Rodriguez stepped into the ring, hurling her into the unforgiving steel steps. The chaos escalated further with the entry of Zoey Stark, whose well-timed superkick led to the match being ultimately declared a double disqualification.

Unconventional Decisions by “Raw” GM

Subsequently, Rhea Ripley approached the new “Raw” general manager, Adam Pearce, expressing her discontent with the recurring interruptions in her matches. She urged him to ensure a fair and undisrupted competition. In a surprising turn of events, Pearce declined her request and revealed a new approach to the situation. He firmly asserted his authority by informing Ripley that at Crown Jewel, she would be defending her Women’s World Title in a fatal five-way match. Her opponents include Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark.

While Rhea Ripley voiced her objections, the decision was made, and her championship defense took an unexpected turn. Now, on November 4, she will confront her steepest challenge yet as she defends her title against a formidable lineup of competitors. With the Women’s World Title hanging in the balance, WWE Crown Jewel promises to be a memorable showcase of exceptional talent and high-stakes drama.
