Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will finally get their rematch from WrestleMania 36 at this year's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
Charlotte Flair defeated Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36 from an empty Performance Center in Orlando, Florida to kick off the pandemic era of pay-per-view events. Now, at the last event of the Thunderdome era, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will clash for championship gold once again but this time, Rhea Ripley is holding the Raw Women's Championship and not the NXT Women's Championship.
Charlotte Flair earned this opportunity with a victory over Asuka on the May 24 episode of Monday Night Raw.
Rhea Ripley stated after the loss to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36 that she felt a loss of confidence. Now, she has a chance to right that wrong on Sunday, June 20, 2021.
From WWE:
Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair (Raw Women's Championship Match)
The Nightmare is coming to WWE Hell in a Cell, and The Queen will be waiting.
Rhea Ripley will look to look to secure a reign-defining win when she puts her Raw Women’s Title on the line against Charlotte Flair. Ripley secured WrestleMania glory with a hard-fought win over Asuka, but Flair was incensed to not be included in the Show of Shows’ festivities and has targeted Ripley ever since.
Flair has offered lobbed insults at the Raw Women’s Champion in recent weeks and let her know she’ll be waiting to regain her spot atop the Raw Women’s division. The most recent run-in seemed to get the best of Ripley, as Nikki Cross bested her in a Beat The Clock Challenge much to the enjoyment of The Queen. Flair followed that up with a statement win over Asuka that put the champion on notice.
Who will emerge from the mayhem of Hell in a Cell as Raw Women’s Champion?
Don’t miss the title clash on Sunday, June 20 at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network everywhere else.
