WWE Women’s title match official for Clash in Italy
Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill will clash in Italy.
It was confirmed at the start of Friday’s SmackDown that Ripley and Cargill will meet again on May 31 in Turin, Italy. She talked about how she had one week off and yet everyone had missed her. She said if Cargill wanted her so badly, she would beat her again in Italy.
Ripley defeated Cargill for the WWE Women’s title at WrestleMania last month. Cargill vanished from television until recently returning, setting her focus right back at Ripley, calling her out on last week’s show. Ripley has banded together Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss in recent weeks to fight back against both Fatal Influence and Jade Cargill. But the relationship between the three has been rocky, to say the least, with Flair reluctant to completely join forces with Ripley.
On Friday’s show, Flair and Bliss arrived with Flair telling Ripley that they have to focus on their match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where they will team together to take on Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin. The two ended up getting into a shouting match until Fatal Influence interrupted, setting up a tag team match for later in the show.
