New Title Match Revealed For WWE WrestleMania Backlash

WWE has just announced Asuka vs. RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley for the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view.

This will be Ripley's second title defense since winning the title from Asuka at WrestleMania 37. Asuka originally had a rematch on the post-WrestleMania edition of RAW but that match ended in a No Contest due to interference from Charlotte Flair.
