Rhea Ripley is now the WWE Women's World Champion.
After capturing the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship from Charlotte Flair at WWE WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley was drafted to Monday Night Raw. Ripley would defend the SmackDown Women's Championship on Raw, including at WWE Night of Champions against Natalya.
Now, Ripley has officially been given a new championship to start a new legacy.
At the start of Monday Night Raw on June 12, Adam Pearce gave Ripley a new WWE Women's World Championship. The belt is similar to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Seth Rollins won at WWE Night of Champions, only with a white strap.
