Rhea Ripley made an appearance on The Wrestling Classic, where she discussed a wide range of topics, including the split of the Judgment Day faction that has led to a feud with her former factionmates. Here are the highlights:
On the Judgment Day:
“The Judgment Day was really family to me. It really was. It has helped my career so much more than I could actually put into words. That was when I started opening up and feeling comfortable going out there and being in front of the crowd. I had the boys and could fall back on. It was really emotional for me. I saw something come out about Judgment Day members, a specific one crying backstage after everything. I’m not ashamed of it. That was me. I was upset. The last two and a half years of my life has changed now. I can’t go back to that. They were my boys and my family. It was really sad. At the same time, when something so good comes to an end, the other side of it is something amazing is about to start as well. I wasn’t really thinking about that because I was so emotional. That was the most fun I’ve had in my career in a long time. I felt invincible. I felt I could go out there and be a cheeky little menace and get away with it, for real, and have fun with my friends. I loved my time with the Judgment Day. Now, I’m loving my time absolutely brutalizing the Judgment Day. They are not the real Judgment Day. They are street trash.”
On her dream War Games Team:
“I want to say it would probably be Bianca [Belair] and Jade [Cargill] already. Who else would I pick?…..Oh it’s hard because they don’t get along. I would have said IYO [SKY] and Kairi [Sane] because IYO’s been in a few….and she’s won a lot of War Games as well, and then Kairi, she doesn’t ever give up like she smashed her face on the announce table and just continued to go.”
Ripley will challenge Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Title at Bad Blood next month.
