The Nightmare Rhea Ripley won her first title on the main roster at the Grandest Stage of them all last week by defeating Asuka. Before her debut on main roster of Raw, Rhea Ripley was off to WWE TV almost for two months.
Apart from that she appeared on WWE Women’s Royal Rumble match in January and put a incredible performance. She was one of the last two women in the Rumble match and eliminated by the winner Bianca Belair. Then, she made her debut on February 22nd episode of Monday Night Raw.
The New Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley recently appeared as special guest on WWE’s The Bump and discussed about her absence from WWE TV. Here what Rhea Ripley said:
“Obviously I wanted to win the Royal Rumble but I’m very happy for Bianca that she got that spotlight that she really does deserve but that month after that, I was sort of just like I was sitting there at RAW in catering trying to like figure out what I’m going to do. Trying to pick my timing well to pretty much debut. So that’s what I had been doing that month, I was just sort of trying to find the right time to show the world exactly who I am.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
