WWE hasn\u2019t locked in a WrestleMania 42 match for Rhea Ripley yet, but if any women\u2019s bout is being seriously considered to main event, it\u2019s Ripley vs. IYO SKY.<\/p>\n
During the January 13, 2026 episode of Self Made Sessions<\/a>, Self Made Pro revealed that WWE has specifically discussed a Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY singles match as the only women\u2019s match currently viewed as headline-worthy.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only women\u2019s match that would main event WrestleMania this year would be that matchup, Rhea vs. IYO. So IYO vs. Rhea would be a match that could main event one of the nights, and that has been mentioned in meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n However, he made it clear that these internal discussions haven\u2019t led to a decision yet. Self Made Pro also confirmed that the Women\u2019s World Title match itself remains undecided.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to say this clearly: they\u2019ve discussed it, and they have mentioned that IYO vs. Rhea is something they view as main-event level, but there are no guarantees that they\u2019re actually going to do it. So that\u2019s still up in the air. As of now, they don\u2019t know what the Women\u2019s World Title match is going to be, for the record.\u201d<\/p>\n This update follows the January 5 episode of Self Made Sessions, where Ripley and IYO\u2019s Women\u2019s Tag Team Title win over the Kabuki Warriors was reported as a Raw milestone, not a WrestleMania indicator<\/a>\u2014done largely to fill TV time with top stars.<\/p>\n Even then, if WWE is planning for a women\u2019s match to headline either night of WrestleMania 42, Ripley vs. IYO is the one they\u2019ve acknowledged as worthy.<\/p>\n Do you want to see Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY headline WrestleMania 42?
