The queen shows off her brutality. WWE has posted a new match to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women’s Championship from Money in the Bank 2021.
You can see the match in its entirety below:
From WWE.com:
Haymakers and kicks were thrown with reckless abandon, underscoring the deep-seated animosity that has defined the rivalry. The Nightmare battered Flair with every ounce of energy she had, fighting off fatigue late in the match to muscle Charlotte into a suplex that nearly blew the roof off Dickies Arena.
Not to be outdone, Charlotte returned fire with a moonsault from the top rope to the floor. A desperation Natural Selection from the top rope stunned Ripley but only garnered a two-count, causing the WWE Universe to erupt into chants of “This is awesome!”
As the match wore on, Ripley countered the Figure Eight by sending Charlotte head-first into the ring post. Charlotte nonetheless regained her senses and turned up the ruthlessness, trapping Ripley’s left knee between the ring post and steps and repeatedly kicking the steps, decimating The Nightmare’s knee in the process.
With Ripley in clear agony, Charlotte then reapplied the Figure Eight, forcing the submission and securing title win No. 14.
Editor’s Opinion:
I’ve said many times before that Charlotte Flair, in her prime right now, has already established herself as the GOAT of women’s wrestling. There is no one who has ever done it better than her. That being said, I would have loved to see Rhea Ripley get the win here. I understand that with it being the first pay-per-view back with fans, you needed to get the queen back on top. But Ripley was at the top of her game at this moment in her career, and it would have been nice to see her get a major win on a major stage.
