Rhea Ripley : (6) " It’s great to see wrestling expand and get the attention it deserves. It’s such a great, great sport. " - Rhea Ripley " I look up to so many powerful women who succeeded before me and I’m here doing my thing to inspire women who will come after me. " - Rhea Ripley " I had a tryout in Australia when I was 17 years old. The WWE contacted my trainers and asked who would be a few names that they would put forward for a tryout. My name was thrown in there, which I had only been wrestling for a year, and so I sent them back all my information after they emailed me and I was super excited. " - Rhea Ripley " I like being me and portraying myself in a certain way that makes me feel comfortable and confident. " - Rhea Ripley " Going into work and seeing Shawn Michaels – someone I watched growing up – how many people can say that? That they get to see people like Shawn Michaels at work and that they get to learn off Shawn Michaels. To me that’s insane. " - Rhea Ripley " I’m proud of where NXT has come and all the girls and what they are accomplishing and how they have changed for the better. " - Rhea Ripley
