WWE brought RAW to Madison Square Garden on March 10, and fans got a moment they wont forget as IYO Sky, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair went face-to-face in a tense showdown. But while all eyes were on the three top-tier talents in the ring, the real architects behind the chaos were working behind the scenes.
According to Fightful Select, the segment was written by Ben Saccocio, with Petey Williams and Jason Jordan serving as the producers. The carefully crafted exchange built on IYO Skys shocking March 3 title win over Rhea Ripley, setting the stage for her massive WrestleMania 41 showdown with Bianca Belair.
The moment unfolded with Michael Cole introducing IYO Sky to the ring, where she was met with chants of You deserve it! from the MSG crowd. Sky soaked in the moment, calling it a dream to stand as champion in the worlds most famous arena. But just as things were settling in, Bianca Belair stepped in to congratulate Sky before questioning whether she would have won the title if Belair hadnt been ringside last week.
Thats when Rhea Ripley stormed in, mic already on, throwing accusations at Belair for being ringside during their title match. Ripley wasnt buying that Bianca just wanted to watchshe thought Belair was out there because she didnt believe she could beat The Nightmare at WrestleMania 41. Things got even more heated when Ripley dragged Jade Cargill and Naomi into the mix, which didnt sit well with Belair.
Bianca fired back, calling Ripley out for projecting blame, leading to a tense moment where IYO Sky had to step between them. But after being shoved aside too many times, Sky snappedslapping both Ripley and Belair before walking off, leaving them to deal with the fallout.
While the segment played out flawlessly in front of the crowd, credit goes to Saccocio, Williams, and Jordan for putting it all together. WWEs road to WrestleMania is all about building must-see moments, and this team nailed it with a perfect blend of tension, storytelling, and physicality.
