At last year’s WrestleMania 36, Rhea Ripley defended her NXT Women’s Title against the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble Winner Charlotte Flair, in which Ripley lost her title to Charlotte Flair.
Rhea Ripley recently appeared as special guest on WWE’s Grit and Glory with Samoa Joe and discussed about several topics. During the show, she revealed that her WrestleMania debut didn’t went as she hoped.
The former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley said that WrestleMania is something always she wanted to be part of and last years WrestleMania was took place with zero fans but she wasn’t upset about the zero fans at the show. She felt sad because of her family couldn’t be part of this big moment.
“Man, I had a lot of frustration. Like, I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty upset. It wasn’t the fact that there was going to be zero people in attendance, but it was the fact that my family couldn’t be there to be part of this moment with me. That really sucked. It made me really sad and depressed, but at the same time, it’s WrestleMania.
“Even though I say that I don’t have any goals in wrestling, WrestleMania was always something I wanted to be a part of. Even though there was no one to celebrate or cheer or boo, and I didn’t have my family there, I knew that they were watching at home and supporting me no matter what. I had to keep imagining that in my mind, and that helped me sort of get through it.” – (H/T: WrestlingInc)
