Rhea Ripley dethroned Charlotte Flair to win the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39 (Night One) in Los Angeles, CA.
An emotional Ripley spoke with BT Sport’s Ariel Helwani following her landmark victory last night, and you can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her emotional night: “I got really emotional here at WrestleMania before I put all my makeup on for it to be switched off. I got really emotional, I cried I want to say like, six-plus times, not only for myself but for Dominik Mysterio as well. Just seeing his growth. He gets to go out there with his dad after Rey got inducted into the Hall of Fame. It’s a big night for all of us.”
On Dominik losing to Rey: “I didn’t get to watch Dom-Dom’s match. Otherwise, I probably would have tried to go out there to save him. I was too busy in my own head trying to get myself prepared for this massive match that I knew I was going to have with Charlotte. So, I’ll get my payback.”
