Bayley has praise for Rhea Ripley.
After night one of WrestleMania XL, WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley commented on facing the Four Horsewomen, having beaten Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch at back-to-back WrestleMania events. She said the Horsewomen Era would live forever given all that they had accomplished.
One night later, Four Horsewomen member Bayley won the WWE Women's Championship and was asked about Ripley's comments.
"Rhea is once in a lifetime. I get so jealous of her. First, I have so much respect for her because she works her butt off. You guys see Judgment Day on every single show like ten times throughout the night. That is not easy and sometimes not always fun. It’s very hard. I have all the respect for all the work she does. Plus, she puts on incredible matches. She’s so young, so athletic, she does one dropkick. I can’t do a dropkick to someone’s knees. Everything she does makes me mad [laughs]. I feel, as the time comes for the Four Horsewomen to lift the division up and get better and better, as we wanted to from the beginning, I’m glad it’s going to someone like Rhea Ripley and somebody like Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Zoey Stark. There are so many women itching to get out there. Candice LeRae is finally showing her face out there. All the girls in NXT. Roxanne Perez, Lyra [Lyra Valkyria]. This is exactly what we wanted. If she’s ready to take it on, I am very proud and I’m very glad to watch it happen, but, let me have my damn moment Rhea [sarcasm]," she said during the WrestleMania XL Sunday press conference.
