Overview

• Rhea Ripley beat Asuka via a surprise roll-up after Asuka inadvertently struck Kairi Sane during the Raw main event in Evansville.
• Asuka blinded Ripley with her trademark green mist, then feigned a reconciliation with IYO SKY before dropping her with a strike.
• Kairi Sane appeared hesitant yet ultimately helped Asuka in the beatdown, and the show ended with Ripley and SKY laid out.
• In a post shared to her official accounts, SKY said the betrayal “hurts more than losing a match,” while Ripley posted an apology to her.
• Analysts describe the turn as a major pivot in Raw’s women’s division, and media coverage points to a possible Crown Jewel matchup that WWE has not announced.
