After a banger of an opening match<\/a> courtesy of Jey Uso and Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on WWE WrestleMania 41 Saturday<\/a>, WWE announced who will kick off WrestleMania 41 Sunday night. Prior to the Triple Threat main event between CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns, Michael Cole announced that the WWE Women’s World Championship Triple Threat between champion IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair would open the proceedings.<\/p>\n

Similar to Gunther and Jey, this match has a lot of bad blood flowing. For months, we thought we would get a straight-up one-on-one match with IYO SKY defending against Bianca Belair. However, Rhea Ripley had other plans and is hell-bent on reclaiming the Women’s World Championship by any means necessary.<\/p>\n

After getting into it weeks before WrestleMania 41, all three women are itching to get their hands on one another. Fortunately, they won’t have to wait much longer as they kick off the final nights of WWE WrestleMania 41.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the WWE Women’s World Championship Triple Threat opening the WWE WrestleMania 41 Sunday?<\/em><\/h2>\n
