Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair on the first night of WWE WrestleMania 39 to win the SmackDown Women’s Title.
As a result, Ripley made history as she is the only woman in WWE to hold the Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK Women’s and Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Following the match at the post-event presser, Ripley commented on this accomplishment.
“I mean, like you said, history. I’m here to make history,” Ripley stated. “Growing up in Adelaide, South Australia, I always got told that my dream of coming to the WWE would probably not happen. So just making it here is such an accomplishment, but being the first Grand Slam Champion to have those exact championships, is so satisfying. I am extremely proud of myself and my journey here to the WWE and then my journey here within the WWE. To be able to accomplish all those historic moments, man, I…that’s the one thing that I strive for, making history. I want my name etched in the history books forever, and I’ve gone and done that.”
