Rhea Ripley says it was special to see IYO SKY get her moment at WrestleMania 41.
At WrestleMania 41, Rhea Ripley would once again challenge for the WWE Women's World Championship in a triple threat match that also featured the champion IYO SKY and Bianca Belair.
While speaking to the Wide World Of Sports in a recent interview, Rhea detailed the experience of WrestleMania 41, and how it felt to be part of a 'really special day' for Women's World Champion IYO SKY.
"It was a wild experience, it was special and honestly, I've done a lot - that was like my sixth WrestleMania - but this one was different and I know the outcome wasn't exactly what I was wanting, but to go out there with the girls who I grew up with in NXT [was special]. I moved over here [to the United States] at 20 years old and these girls were pretty much my family, they were like my sisters and the only ones that I saw every single day. It was a very competitive nature, but a very loving nature at the same time. To go out at WrestleMania and have such an awesome match where you know that you had the crowd the entire time and that adrenaline rush - all of us broke down in tears. Even on the bus afterwards, I couldn't come down from that high. Seeing the video of Iyo's family crying in the crowd, it was so special because I've had that moment and Bianca has had that moment. Iyo hadn't had that moment yet and to see her have it and captured and presented to everyone, it was a really special day."
Since WrestleMania 41, Rhea and IYO have saved each other from attacks at the hand of Giulia and Roxanne Perez, with the pair facing off on next week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW. You can read more about that here.
