WWE has added a Women’s World Championship match to Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25, as Rhea Ripley will defend against Nia Jax. The match was set following a series of confrontations between both competitors on RAW.
The situation intensified when Jax ambushed Ripley during her arrival at the arena. Following Jax’s victory over Bayley later in the show, Ripley emerged to confront her attacker, leading to a brawl at ringside. Ripley subsequently proposed the championship match to General Manager Adam Pearce.
The updated card for Saturday Night’s Main Event includes:
- GUNTHER vs. Jey Uso – World Heavyweight Championship
- Bron Breakker vs. Sheamus – Intercontinental Championship
- Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax – Women’s World Championship
