Top WWE star Rhea Ripley appeared on The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show to discuss various topics, including her feelings about being without a championship.
Ripley said, “I feel like it’s easier to go through TSA. [laughs] But I don’t know. I feel like kind of naked in a way without it. But at the same time, like I don’t mind not having a title. Because I still feel like, kind of what you were saying. Every time I walk through the curtain and walk onto the stage in front of everyone, I feel like a champion. So, I feel like I don’t need a title to represent how dominant I am in the WWE. That being said, at WrestleMania yeah, I will be getting a title.”
On if she feels pressure to deliver with Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42:
“I do, I definitely do. I feel like this is a match that a lot of people have wanted for a long time, especially at WrestleMania. There’s already so much pressure going into that day and into that match. And then also going off of last year, it was the same at WrestleMania 39 when I faced Charlotte. Then going into WrestleMania 40, I was like, ‘I have to do just as well as I did the year before. Like I really have to.’ But now stepping in with someone that has only had limited experience within the wrestling industry compared to a lot of people on the show, I do have that pressure to kind of uplift her and bring her to a different level so we can go out there and we can make magic just like everyone expects from us. We’ll see what happens. It’s unpredictable, wrestling is so unpredictable. Anything can really happen. But I know I’m going to go out there and give it 110% and try and get her to try new things and like level up her own game.”
