RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced earlier today that IYO SKY and Bianca Belair will be signing the contract tomorrow on the red brand to make their Women's World Championship match official for WrestleMania 41. Bianca Beliar earned the title shot by winning the Women's Elimination Chamber Match at the eponymous PLE earlier this month.

Rhea Ripley was upset with The EST for being ringside during her title loss against The Genius of the Sky, and confronted her last week on RAW. Belair and Ripley argued while completely ignoring and piefacing IYO SKY, who was also in the ring. The Women's World Champion responded by slapping them both in the face before storming off.

Vince Russo reacts to Rhea Ripley getting slapped on WWE RAW

Wrestling legend Vince Russo believes that IYO SKY slapping Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley was a terrible booking decision by WWE.

Speaking on The Coach & Bro Show, the former WWE head writer criticized the company for having Belair and Ripley get upstaged on last week's episode of RAW. Russo noted that SKY was much smaller than both stars, and suggested that the segment made Belair and Ripley look weak.

"As a writer, here's the biggest insult, Coach. You kill Rhea Ripley, man. You actually kill both of them because Bianca Belair is a freaking beast. So, you actually kill two important talents on your roster so a 5-foot-nothing female can slap both of them across the face. That's not how you protect your talent, Coach," he said. [55:46 - 56:12]
