Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley Match Likely To Main Event WrestleMania 39 Night 1
Rhea Ripley won the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match and earned the women’s title shot opportunity of her chosen champion at WrestleMania 39. Later, she picked SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and both set to face each other at WrestleMania 39 with the SmackDown Women’s Title on line. Now, we got an update about this title match at WrestleMania 39.
According to a new report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the SmackDown Women’s Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair could be headlining WrestleMania 39 Night 1.
“There is no decision on the main event past an internal feeling that Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley right now is the favourite. There is a push feeling for sponsors and political reasons after men main evented both nights last year it would be good for a women’s match to headline and the feeling Flair vs. Ripley is stronger than Bianca Belair vs. Asuka for the spot. If there is Usos vs. Zayn & Kevin Owens, one would think that would be the other favourite.” (H/T: Cultaholic)
