Rhea Ripley sees a lot of similarities in her partnership with Nikki A.S.H. and the dynamic between RK-Bro.
In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Rhea Ripley compared the two teams and pointed out how they share some similarities in their dynamic with each other.
“It’s funny, there was actually a moment where we had done our entrance and we were waiting in the ring and it went to a break so everything when black. When we came back from break, RK-Bro’s promo was at that time and it was on the big screen. I was watching it with Nikki, and I was like, ‘Look it’s us!’ I was pointing at it and I looked into the crowd like, ‘It’s the guy version of us!’ This guy in the crowd just burst out laughing. [laughs] I love it, I love it so much and I think they’re just incredible.
“They’re so funny, and Riddle is just so annoying to Randy and I love every minute of it, it’s exactly how Nikki is to me,” she said. “They’re like our little siblings, you know? You can’t hate them! You just tolerate them.”
On a more serious note, Rhea explained how the experience has been good for her and said it’s allowed her to show a new side to her character.
“I think it’s been a good learning curve for me, to not always just be angry at the world and to enjoy everything, and to show people that I can be this other person as well,” she added. “I do have different sides to myself and my character – it’s not really a character, but to me. I think it’s been really intriguing to everyone. They’re slowly seeing me open up and blossom into the Rhea Ripley that you see, and it’s because of Nikki.”
