The Smackdown women's champion talks to Rosenberg about her match with Zelina Vega in Puerto Rico, finding herself with the Judgement Day, working with Dom, what name she identifies with, moving back to Australia and much more.
This is an amazing interview. Rhea kinda keeps your inner mark in line, but she peels back the onion in such a classy, yet gigantic way. Super cool. Rootin' for her, nonstop.
How? I haven’t watched wrestling since like, idk, 2001 maybe? Sometime during the attitude era I fell off (I LOVED attitude era, but around 6-7th grade I started getting much more focused on chicks n my gf n going out, so I kinda fell off WWF). Tonight I randomly put on an episode of Raw (I haven’t watched one since I was a kid). I saw this chick Rhea, wanted to see if she’s hot without the goth makeup, so I been googling her for the past 30min. Ended up here, seeing ur comment. How do they remind u of the Attitude era? I thought about watching a few more episodes but it (Raw) seemed SO clean and kid-friendly and like… vanilla. Totally unlike Attitude. That’s why I’m curious what you like about this team or wtvr. Maybe you’ll convince me to watch more.
@@MisterK-YT I watched through the Golden Era and was turned off by New Generation Era. Also, I became only interested in UFC when UFC 3 came out. As I have gotten older I have come to appreciate the spectacle, hard work, physicality, and artistry of Pro Wrestling, and currently I’m just having fun watching these matches and stories the way I used to when I was a kid.
I've loved this wrestler since the first day I saw here. She's going to be a mainstay for years. She's always have had the look,but I never knew how good her in ring ability was. Safe, extreme, and selling ability was so well exacuted that she was my favorite from first site. She's my number one with Charlotte being a so close second and Becky being a fave as well. But like I said she's that once in a lifetime entertainer that you can fall for. I pray she never has an injury that changes her trajectory, cuz she keeps me watching WWE at this point.
Anyone else caught that subtle jab “I have a lot of peoples fiancés at this point” at 25:00 Dominik Mysterio is engaged and she dropped that sneak diss lmao
Outstanding interview. I loved the Rhea Ripley character, but I am so impressed by the person behind the character. Keep the level head and may you continue in your success.
Rhea is so beautiful without makeup!! I am a really big fan of hers She got one of The Best Music Theme Entrance in the Game. Every time she lift her leg up to the air and Slam it down to the Ground. I literally lose my mind every time.. Love me some Rhea Ripley
she is such a humble sweetheart. Its very hard to dislike her even though how she portrays her character. She is def the best female talent the company has at this point. Keep having fun Rhea!
I think with her it's being a gorgeous woman with all these charismas going, who is a nice, shy, but still fierce, competitive, strong, badass persona, non-conforming, rebel, with her own original style of being who she is... It's hard to not like her. It's character depth. If you have any friends similar or dated someone with all that complexity it's compelling to interact with those types of people.
She is such a superstar, yet She has goals to return to her home in Australia and look out after her parents. Now, THAT IS A REAL SUPER-STAR. THAT IS PURE GOLD SUPERSTAR
Nice interview! I haven't had too many favorite wrestlers over the last 15 years... among the women, there was AJ Lee and Asuka, and right now I love Rhea's character and matches. I hope Judgement Day keeps going and growing :)
I wasn't going to watch this entire thing, but I couldn't stop. I love her in-ring work and listening to her talk about everything was awesome. Definitely gotta grab a Rhea Ripley fig now.
Ohhh mulher maravilhosa... socorro, ela realmente é mto adorável, ñ imagino o quão difícil deve ter sido pra ela ser tão jovem e ter q sair de adelaide e vir morar no eua sozinha. Ela simplesmente merece o mundo ❤❤❤❤ amo te dems ❤
Peter! I have your first ever black Cheap Heat shirt and wear it until this day. I believe it was 5-6 yrs ago? I loved that podcast so much. Also a friend of Vic Joseph from our days in Cleveland. Looks like you’ve been killing it, congratulations brother.
I find it quite ironic that she said she didn't "know why" the LGBTQ Community are such big fans of hers but that's pretty obvious lol..Rhea may not be apart of the Community herself but her swag/style is clearly influenced by us to a degree. The whole Tomboy vibe and how she carries herself, you would honestly think she's a Lesbian on 1st sight or at the very least Bi-Sexual, she's played into those things too in different ways and I don't mind it but it's just kinda weird when ppl act like they don't get what appears to be obvious lol. I'm not saying she can't have her own unique style and be straight but typically Women who dress and act like her Character, tend to be apart of the Community.
You're projecting your see what you want. I've dated a few goth/emo athletic girls and they are all straight. Girls who play softball and wrestle get the same projection even though the majority are straight.
@@desmadrex No, I'm not projecting actually 🤷♂️ I clearly said how I felt. I mentioned that she could have her own unique style and be straight, you either missed that point or chose not to acknowledge it but I made the point that I think it's off putting to say "You don't know why the LGBT Community are such big fans of you", when it's obvious and like I said, Rhea specifically HAS played into the idea of her being Bi-Sexual but has never confirmed that she was and is only romantically linked to Men. I don't know nor need to know her business, I just addressed the point of her making that statement because there are a lot of people who appropriate our culture for THEIR benefit but don't really like or respect us as people. I'm not trying to project anything, I know there are Goth/Emo girls out there but a lot of them still have a level of Femininity to them, to where as though u can still tell they're WOMEN. Rhea is basically a Male Superstar lol, it looks like she's damn near transitioning, like let's be real here. U can't always judge a book by its cover but some things are just obvious to the human eye as well and most people would assume that a Woman who dresses and carries themselves the way she does would be one of us 💯
The last time I was sure we would not keep a star very long as bigger and better thing were waiting for them was 1999 The Rock.. Rhea will be a star in Hollywood within 5 years..
Great interview. Aside from the "performer" and how its expected for fans to love / hate characters every so often one comes with that Stone cold HHH type of performer and Rhea is that for the womens división and more importantly the entire roster. Hate to say this but I will... performers like Rousey just cannot deliver that classic 1980's 2000s legendary work. Props to you.
Rhea, you are totally awesome. I know that you just had a birthday but I have to tell you girl you are like a fine wine the older you get the better you're getting
The word of the badass it doesn't mean a mean word . Most people say it is because Rhea bloody Ripley she is the greatest wrestler in the world, and she is the strongest woman we have ever seen, and plus she has defeated a lot of people from Monday Night Raw. So we are trying to say that Rhea Ripley is the best and greatest wrestler we have never seen. And more to defeat. Rhea bloody Ripley 💯😜🤘🤘
"Rhea bloody Ripley", if you make a movie, that it will be so cool and can't wait to see it, if that is for real i will wait until it comes out,and that it will be awesome , and also it will be interesting to watch it too😊
The chicken fingers - I believe is the real thing. There was an interview with Dumdum and his dad and the host made each other guess their favourite foods. Rey said that Dom orders chicken fingers everywhere, no matter what kind of restaurant. Dumb said it right "You can't mess up chicken fingers" and I agree. Still think his character is shite but I agree with him. Any time we order chicken fingers anywhere, we call it the Dumdum special.
