Rhea Ripley reacts with an emphatic three-word message to the unique historical significance of WrestleMania 39 match

Rhea Ripley dethroned "The Queen" Charlotte Flair last night to become the new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion. Even with a highly emotional tag team match in the main event, the women's barn burner stood out and was arguably the match of the night.

Michael Cole pointed out an interesting trivia during the bout - it was the first match in the history of The Grandest Stage to feature all women. This includes Flair, Ripley, referee Jessika Carr, and ring announcer Samantha Irvin.

Ahead of Night Two, where Ripley's fellow Judgment Day member Finn Balor will step inside Hell in a Cell against the former patriarch of the faction, Edge, the new SmackDown Women's Champion, took to Twitter to make a statement:

"WOMEN MAKING HISTORY!" tweeted Rhea Ripley.

Rhea Ripley is only the second WWE Superstar to pin Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania

Charlotte Flair has racked up wins on The Grandest Stage Of Them All since her debut at the event back in 2016. Prior to her loss against the 2023 Royal Rumble winner on Saturday night, the distinct honor of pinning or submitting The Queen was for one WWE Superstar only: Bayley.

The Role Model picked up a rare victory over Charlotte Flair at The Showcase Of The Immortals in 2017 in a Fatal-4-Way Elimination match for the WWE RAW Women's Championship.

Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair in Hollywood also marked the first sequel to a women's WrestleMania match. The Eradicator suffered a devastating loss and, in turn, dropped the NXT Women's Championship to The Queen three years ago during the pandemic.

Cut to 2023, as the matriarch of Judgment Day, Ripley avenged her loss by picking up a decisive victory over arguably WWE's biggest female performer.
