After a thrilling match between Rhea Ripley and Dakota Kai, all hell broke loose as Raquel Gonzalez, who was banned from ringside during the match, came down to get in Ripley’s face in the ring. The two jawed a bit before unleashing punches at each other, and it took a crazy number of referees, producers, and security personnel to keep them apart, and even that didn’t really stop them. This seemed to tease that they would be facing each other again sooner than later, and that is exactly what we got, as their match was announced for New Year’s Evil.

The match was revealed by New Year’s Evil host Dexter Lumis, who created a portrait of them that also announced the match stipulation, a Last Woman Standing Match.

A Last Woman Standing Match goes until one of the competitors cannot fight any longer or is knocked out, and the referee counts to 10 when someone is downed. These matches are also typically No Disqualification, which means this is going to most likey be a brutal match.
