Rhea Ripley came to WWE WrestleMania SmackDown to address the WWE Universe one final time before WWE WrestleMania 41. However, her segment was quickly hijacked by IYO SKY, Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Jade Cargill, leading to all-out chaos.
Rhea Ripley stated that she planned to do whatever it took on WrestleMania Sunday to regain her Women's World Championship. IYO SKY interrupted Ripley and was interrupted by Bianca Belair before she could even say anything. However, it was the ghosts of Bianca's past that threw the segment into disarray.
Naomi came out to confront her former WWE Tag Team Championship partner, claiming that she hadn't heard from Belair since she walked out on her when Naomi revealed that she's the one who attacked Jade Cargill in 2024. Speaking of Cargill, she marched down to the ring and wanted to get her hands on Naomi before their match at WrestleMania. Naomi forcibly threw Bianca between herself and Jade. This led Ripley to get into Jade's face and tell her that this had nothing to do with her. That's when Naomi attacked Jade, sending her crashing into Ripley, who crashed into Bianca.

After that, it was chaos that reigned supreme, but in the end, it would be IYO SKY, the WWE Women's World Champion, who got the last laugh as she dove onto every woman outside the ring.
