The official preview of the title match, courtesy of WWE’s website, is as follows:

At WWE Money in the Bank, Rhea Ripley will look to eradicate Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair when she challenges The EST of WWE for her place at the top of the mountain.

Since capturing the Raw Women’s Title, Belair has been at the top of her game, most recently overcoming Becky Lynch and Asuka in a turbulent Triple Threat Match at WWE Hell in a Cell.

Her challenger, though, also won at the Premium Live Event in a Six-Person Tag Team Match alongside The Judgment Day. The dark faction has taken the already vicious Ripley to a deeper focus and has made her more dangerous than ever.

After overcoming Alexa Bliss, Doudrop and Liv Morgan in a Fatal 4-Way Match on the June 6 edition of Raw, The Nightmare propelled herself back into the title picture.

What will happen when Belair and Ripley collide for the Raw Women’s Title? Find out at WWE Money in the Bank, streaming live on Saturday, July 2, at 8 ET/5PT on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
