The two stars will lock horns at the Frost Bank Center
The newly crowned Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is set to defend her title for the first time against former WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax at the January 25 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The January 25 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, will emanate live from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. Three title clashes along with a clash between Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu have been announced for the show.
Ripley recently defeated Liv Morgan on the historic debut episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix which took place on January 6 at the Intuit Dome. Ripley not only defeated Morgan but also ended the rivalry with a significant win.
The match between Ripley and Jax was set up following a backstage attack on the 01/20 episode of Monday Night Raw where Jax attacked the Women’s World Champion unprovoked. This attack angered Rhea who later in the show walked in to exact her revenge.
This led to a brawl between the two which ended with Ripley climbing to the announcer’s desk and announcing a clash between her and Jax at SNME with her title on the line.

Ahead of their clash, Jax took to her X handle to reply to a fan tweet about the upcoming clash. Replying to the fan tweet, Jax stated that she would ‘slap her (Ripley) back to her blonde hair’. Jax’s jab was a reference to Ripley’s earlier WWE persona, which featured her sporting blonde hair and a more generic ring attire.
Nia Jax recently lost the WWE Women’s title against Tiffany Stratton
Jax has recently lost the WWE Women’s title at the hands of her friend Tiffany Stratton in the first episode of Friday Night SmackDown in 2024. Stratton cashed in her MITB contract on Jax in the 01/13 episode of SmackDown.
Jax was defending her title against Naomi when Stratton appeared and aided Jax in her title defense. However, after the defense, Stratton attacked Jax and cashed in the MITB contract which was followed by the prettiest moonsault and a three count.
