Rhea Ripley takes a playful dig at Cody Rhodes.
During a recent interview with Sam Roberts of Notsam Wrestling, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley reflected on how her first WrestleMania in 2020 did not go as planned. However, she was able to right those wrongs when she beat Charlotte Flair last year at WrestleMania 39.
“Yes, I always go back and forth between the two because the first WrestleMania, my first WrestleMania, was in the pandemic,” Ripley said. “It was at the Performance Center, the one place I wanted to get the hell out of. I was like, ‘Yo, this is my WrestleMania. Come on.'”
“Charlotte had always been someone that I wanted to step in the ring with as well,” Ripley added. “She was always the person I would say in interviews that I wanted to fight at WrestleMania. I finally got that opportunity, I finally made it. And then everything got ripped away from me. I didn’t have any crowd there, I didn’t have my family there, I didn’t get the cool fireworks, the cool stage. I didn’t get any of that, I was back at the Performance Center.
“Obviously I lost my NXT Women’s Championship, which sucked, but whatever. But to get it all back at WrestleMania 39, it just felt like a complete journey. Like, I don’t mean to say finish the story but… I finished my story. Let’s just say at least one Nightmare can do that.”
While Ripley was victorious at WrestleMania 39, Rhodes was not able to finish his story against Roman Reigns in the main event. However, “The American Nightmare” seems to have another shot at it this year after winning the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match.
