Sky worked her way out of it and soon enough, she was emoting and riding the wave. Sky went to the top turnbuckle but Ripley met her and tried to launch her, but Sky landed on her feet to avoid a catastrophic ending. After a back-and-forth sequence, Sky executed a poisionrana to perfection, but the pin attempt wasn't enough.

At WWE Evolution, many expected Rhea Ripley to turn heel, perhaps in her quest to win the Women's World Championship, or due to her failure to do so.
