Rhea Ripley, the formidable Women’s World Champion of WWE, recently shared an intriguing conversation she had with none other than Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, during the organization’s visit to Australia. Ripley’s revelation came in the wake of her remarkable victory over Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber: Perth, an event held in her homeland, where she received an overwhelmingly positive response from the local crowd.
In a post-match interview with Alex McCarthy of Inside The Ropes, Ripley opened up about her desire for WWE to stage more events in Australia. She recounted her conversation with Triple H, expressing her hope for future opportunities to perform in her home country. Ripley was visibly moved by the passionate support she received from the Australian audience at Elimination Chamber: Perth, likening their fervent reaction to the emotional reception Zelina Vega experienced at a show in Puerto Rico. With a touch of humor, Ripley acknowledged the teasing she anticipated from Vega for her heartfelt response to the Australian fans’ support.
“I already asked him! I hope we come back more, I really do, because I would… I mean… did you hear that crowd? They were amazing the entire show, and I feel like sometimes with crowds they get a little…over it just because they’re spoiled. They’re spoiled, come on America, you’re spoiled, you know it. So no, it’s really nice to be back and it felt like the Puerto Rico show for Zelina Vega, except this was my turn, so I hope that that little gremlin is sitting at home, smiling about how emotional I got, ’cause I know that she’s going to give me so much cr*p for it.'”
Turning her attention to the future, Ripley’s focus shifted to her highly anticipated clash with none other than Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL. Despite their past encounters, including Ripley’s victory over Lynch at last year’s WrestleMania, a full-blown feud between the two formidable competitors has yet to materialize. With Lynch’s recent return to WWE, anticipation for their impending showdown has reached unprecedented levels.
