Following WrestleMania 41, it was hard to believe that many other matches in the women’s division would be able to rival the quality of the Triple Threat, but Ripley and SKY proved to exceed all expectations at Evolution 2025.

After having feuded for most of the year, Ripley and SKY’s clash at the second-ever all-women’s PLE was their third singles match together in four months. However, this time around, they were given the opportunity to main event, and with both women not wanting to disappoint, they delivered one of the best WWE matches of last year, which was accompanied by a surprise finish that few saw coming. 

By far, Evolution 2025 was the best work that Ripley and SKY had done together on a singles level, as their chemistry is at an all-time high following the countless matchups they competed in against each other beforehand. Where Ripley matched SKY’s technical ability, SKY added more brutality to her skillset in order to keep up with Ripley’s physical strength, resulting in both women being able to predict each other’s offense.

At this point, Ripley and SKY made it clear that they respected each other, a story beat that was tied into the match, but was eventually spoiled by Naomi playing the ultimate villain by cashing in her Money In The Bank contract. Although neither Ripley nor SKY would come out victorious, the 20-minute battle that preceded Naomi’s cash-in is one of “The Eradicator’s” most impressive performances, and she’s continued to be one of WWE’s most reliable workers in the eight months since the match.
