WWE WrestleMania 39 made history with the first-ever all-female match as Rhea Ripley took on Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown women’s title. In front of a packed crowd at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Ripley emerged triumphant after a neck-and-neck battle with Flair.
As the two wrestlers made their way to the ring, tensions were already high. The first female referee and announcer in WrestleMania history set the tone for a historic night. Charlotte Flair, the champion, entered the ring to cheers and boos from the crowd while Rhea Ripley was determined to walk out with the belt. The two women had a lengthy stare-down before locking up for their match.
The match started with Ripley taking an early lead, but Charlotte quickly recovered and knocked her out of the ring with a clothesline. From there, it was all-out war as both women traded blows in and out of the ring. Charlotte hit multiple chops while Ripley went for an avalanche German suplex.
As the battle continued, both wrestlers came close to pinning each other. Charlotte hit a moonsault on the outside of the ring while Ripley nailed her opponent with the Riptide, but neither was enough to secure victory. The two women also traded submissions as they tried to wear each other down.
Eventually, it was Ripley who emerged victorious with an avalanche Riptide that sent shockwaves throughout SoFi Stadium. With tears streaming down her face, Rhea Ripley achieved what many thought was impossible – she became Smackdown Women’s Champion by defeating Charlotte Flair. In a show of respect, Flair applauded Ripley from the outside.
The WrestleMania 39 event was stacked with surprises, from celebrity and legendary crossover events to marquee matches that delivered on their hype. Night 1 saw John Cena defeat Austin Theory for the United States Championship while Bianca Belair retained her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka at Night 2. The Usos held onto their Undisputed Tag Team Championship title in an epic match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, while Edge finally put his long-running feud with “The Demon” Finn Balor to rest inside Hell in a Cell.
WWE WrestleMania 39 saw a star-studded lineup, including women’s legends Lita and Trish Stratus who took part in a six-woman tag match. Dominant champion Roman Reigns defended his undisputed WWE universal championship against Cody Rhodes in one of the most anticipated matches. The event took place over the weekend, with countless unforgettable moments that will go down in WWE history.
