WWE hasnt locked in a WrestleMania 42 match for Rhea Ripley yet, but if any womens bout is being seriously considered to main event, its Ripley vs. IYO SKY.
During the January 13, 2026 episode of Self Made Sessions, Self Made Pro revealed that WWE has specifically discussed a Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY singles match as the only womens match currently viewed as headline-worthy.
However, he made it clear that these internal discussions havent led to a decision yet. Self Made Pro also confirmed that the Womens World Title match itself remains undecided.
This update follows the January 5 episode of Self Made Sessions, where Ripley and IYOs Womens Tag Team Title win over the Kabuki Warriors was reported as a Raw milestone, not a WrestleMania indicatordone largely to fill TV time with top stars.
Even then, if WWE is planning for a womens match to headline either night of WrestleMania 42, Ripley vs. IYO is the one theyve acknowledged as worthy.
