Rhea Ripley: WWE Isn’t The Same Without Bianca Belair, I Hope She Comes Back Soon
Rhea Ripley is eagerly awaiting the return of Bianca Belair.
Belair has been out of action for a full year at this point, as she suffered a finger injury at WrestleMania 41 while facing Ripley and IYO SKY in a triple threat match.
In a new interview with Shakiel Mahjouri, Ripley noted that things just aren’t the same when ‘The E.S.T’ isn’t around.
“Yeah, she is [a great contribution to the roster]. It’s not the same. It’s honestly not the same without Bianca there. I miss her, I hope that she comes back soon but at the same time, I also hope she’s living her best life not having to go to work for a little bit. She’s busted her ass for so long, they’ve literally made her do so much and work so much, she deserves the time off. I wish it was under better circumstances, because that finger be looking nasty. Like, it’s shocked me that’s she’s been out for nearly a year from a finger injury, something that seems so small but something that is so big. I’ve seen the photos, she sent me the photos. They’re pretty gnarly looking. I really hope that she comes back soon. I really do, but that finger is so fat. It’s so swollen. She’s doing rehab every single day and I’m looking forward to the day that she does come back, but I don’t know how long that’s going to be.”
Elsewhere in the interview, ‘The Eradicator’ talked about wanting wrestlers to embrace the team effort side of the wrestling business. Check out her full comments by clicking here.
