Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley: Who has the edge heading into their WWE WrestleMania 41 Triple Threat match?
Tensions will explode in this Triple Threat match as Women's World Champion Iyo Sky puts her title on the line against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday evening.
Will Sky overcome the odds to retain her title? Will "The EST" Belair reclaim her spot as the top women's singles wrestler? Or will Ripley prove it is her time with another impactful victory?
All these questions will be answered at WrestleMania 41. Until then, DAZN News analyzes who has the edge heading into their Triple Threat match.
Wrestling Styles
One would be hard-pressed to find weak spots in the wrestling styles of Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley.
Each Superstar has carved out a distinct style whether it is aerial exploits of Sky, the packaged power and athleticism of Belair, or the ruthless aggression of Ripley.
All three have been Women’s World Champion before as well, with each showing the willingness to take risks when deemed necessary.
If there is the slightest push in anyone’s favor, perhaps it should go to Belair.
Remember that a ringside commotion between Belair and Ripley, empowered Sky to shock Ripley to become the new Women’s World Champion in early March.
Then later in the month, when Ripley exercised her rematch clause, Belair as a special guest referee ruled it a double disqualification after being unintentionally wiped out by both Ripley and Sky.
Perhaps it is Belair with the thin edge here simply because she is the freshest Superstar out of the three and the one who has given up the least of her strategy heading into this Triple Threat.
Edge: Belair
Aerial Artistry
She is not called “The Genius of the Sky” for nothing.
Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky takes to the sky arguably as great as some of the best aerial artists in WWE history.
Belair, too, can go sky high for some aerial exploits of her own, and even Ripley can when pressed to do so.
But when it comes to aerial assaults, Iyo Sky is in a league of her own.
Expect some brilliant, breathtaking spots from the champ under the brightest lights of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
Edge: Sky
Strength
The checklist of qualities that makes Belair “The EST” include her being the strongest in addition to the fastest, and toughest.
Whether it is hoisting a 330-pound Otis onto her shoulders, pressing Nia Jax over her head, or double-suplexing Sky and Bayley, Belair has shown the WWE Universe her feats of strength many times over.
Just like we should expect a memorable aerial display from Sky, we have come to expect an awe-inspiring power surge from Belair.
Edge: Belair
Mental Warfare
The ruthless aggression of “The Eradicator” does not have any limits, especially when she rightfully feels like she has been burned twice.
After rebounding from injury to defeat Liv Morgan and regain the Women’s World Championship, Ripley’s words with Belair ringside gave Sky the opportune moment to seize the title.
Then, she was once again screwed out of the title when a double DQ call from special guest ref Belair squandered her chances to regain the Championship.
If there is anyone whose mental anguish can power her to victory, it is Ripley.
Edge: Ripley
Who has the edge in Sky vs Belair vs Ripley heading into their WWE WrestleMania 41 match?
By our count, across four key categories, it is Belair with the slight edge over Sky and Ripley, 2-1-1.
After spending a considerable amount of time tag-teaming with Jade Cargill, “The EST” could take back her place as the Women’s World Champion with another memorable WrestleMania moment on “The Grandest Stage of Them All.”
