Charlotte Flair will go down as victorious in the record books at WWE Hell in a Cell, but Rhea Ripley is still the Raw Women’s Champion.
Flair claimed an unsatisfying disqualification victory, leaving her still without gold around her waist.
The Raw Women’s Champion and The Queen put their skills to the test in a championship showdown. Catch WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.
The Queen seemed destined to reclaim the title as she dominated much of the action in only their second one-on-one meeting and first since WrestleMania 36. She seemed to frustrate The Nightmare at every turn, not allowing Ripley any chance to build momentum.
Ripley eventually roared back. She soared to deliver a top-rope dropkick. Flair quickly stymied the rally with Natural Selection, though she was admonished for attempting to use the ropes for added leverage on the ensuing cover.
The bout eventually broke down into an all-out battle of strikes, and Ripley finally hit the major offense she needed, dropping Flair with the Riptide — though Charlotte found a way to drape her boot on the bottom rope.
Doom appeared imminent for Ripley when she found herself caught in the Figure Four. But after escaping to the outside, The Nightmare smashed Charlotte in the face with part of the announce table to prompt the disqualification.
The fight was far from over, and Ripley got the better of it, dropping Flair with another Riptide back in the ring before leaving with the title still in hand.
