WWE to crown new Women’s World champion next week

A new WWE Women’s World champion will be crowned on next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

The title was vacated by Rhea Ripley at the start of the broadcast live from Montreal due to an injury which later was revealed to be a sprained AC joint. The injury occurred last week during a backstage segment when Liv Morgan attacked Ripley, throwing her into the wall.

A sprained AC joint is described as when the shoulder blade moves away from the collarbone, stretching or tearing through the ligaments and depending on what the grade is, may take up to three months at least to recover.

WWE did not reveal how they’re going to crown the new champion or who are the contenders but casually dropped the news during the later stages of the show.
