On a recent episode of WWE Die Woche, WWE 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley appeared as a guest to discuss The Judgment Day and her recent run-ins on WWE RAW.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
When asked what match she would show someone to highlight who she is: “Royal Rumble’s especially one of them. Especially since I was in there for so long. But if it was something a little bit shorter for people to watch for the first time, since I was in there for what — an hour, one minute and eight seconds? I probably would show them my match with Shayna Baszler in NXT for the NXT Women’s Championship. That is forever one of my favorite matches and storylines, and everything. Everything to do with all that buildup, and just going out and having fun — and teaching Shayna a lesson. “And then getting to celebrate with the NXT Universe and the WWE Universe in the ring afterwards… it pretty much explains who I am as a person, and it was one of my funnest experiences of my career.”
When asked about fighting with men in WWE: “You know, it’s all fun. It’s all fun for me. But I think the main person that I really enjoyed beating up was probably AJ Styles. I don’t know why, I think it’s something about him. But just watching his reaction to me just like stepping up to him, and being so baffled that this woman is standing up to him and beating him up. It really made for a fun time for me and I loved screwing up his brain a little bit. I’d like AJ to come back so I could potentially beat him up again.”
When asked if she sees herself as the leader of Judgment Day: “So I’ve heard people throw around the ‘Leader’ name. And they’re very caught up on me and Finn. The thing with The Judgment Day is, we don’t have a leader. In our eyes we’re all equal, and we can all do what each other wants and we help each other out with anything. We’re like a family. We’re a close-knit unit, and we all think the same and we all have the same thing that we want to accomplish here in WWE.”
