Rhea Ripley will defend the gold at WWE Crown Jewel.
On the October 16 episode of WWE Raw, WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley faced Shayna Baszler. The match ended in a disqualification when a brawl between Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark spilled into the ring. Stark then stood tall following a post-match brawl.
Later in the show, Ripley confronted RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. Pearce told her that they would start doing things differently, and he said Ripley will defend the title against Jax, Rodriguez, Baszler, and Stark in a Fatal 5-Way Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
