WWE star not announced for WrestleMania 41 is going to win the World Championship, Dutch Mantell & Bill Apter are convinced (Exclusive)

Wrestling veterans Dutch Mantell and Bill Apter recently claimed that a major WWE name would win the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 41. It is none other than Rhea Ripley.

For those unaware, Rhea Ripley lost the Women's World Championship to IYO SKY earlier this month. SKY is now all set to face this year's Women's Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair for the gold at 'Mania. In recent weeks, Ripley has been trying to add herself into the mix.

On this week's WWE RAW, The Eradicator came out during Belair and SKY's contract signing. Mami attacked both women and signed her name on the contract, wanting to make it a Triple Threat match. However, it is still officially a one-on-one bout between Bianca and IYO.

During the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine, host Mac Davis asked Bill Apter, Teddy Long, and Dutch Mantell if the company would turn it into a Triple Threat match. Apter said he believed the Triple H-led creative team would make it a three-way contest with Rhea Ripley coming out as the Women's World Champion.

"Absolutely and the fans if you see there's that line of confusion with Rhea Ripley heel/babyface it's not there they just like Jacob Fatu they want to love them even though they're a heel. They want Rhea Ripley to have that belt back again and in my opinion she's going to get the belt back. The popular choice right now is Bianca Belair getting this but I can't see them, no disrespect to IYO SKY either, but I can't see them leaving that ring without Rhea Ripley getting that championship," Apter said.

Teddy Long's choice was Bianca Belair but Dutch Mantell agreed with Apter, saying Ripley needed to walk out of WrestleMania 41 as the champion.

"I think Rhea Ripley needs to leave that ring with that title. I think there's more juice behind her," Mantell added. [From 08:34 to 08:41]
