WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley spoke with Omar Raja of ESPN about her nearly 9-year journey with the company. She noted that while she was technically ready for wrestling, she wasn’t mentally prepared.
Ripley said, “I think wrestling-wise I was ready; mentally-wise, I wasn’t. Just because I wasn’t confident and comfortable in my own skin. I was still trying to please everyone and fit the mold that everyone wanted me to fit. So that was, I don’t think I was ready. But also, it’s the start of my story, and we all have to grow from somewhere, and that’s just where I grew from.”
