WrestleMania is WWE’s biggest event of the year. The Eradicator Rhea Ripley has had several WrestleMania moments.
Recently, while talking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast, Rhea Ripley shared that her match against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 was her biggest moment.
That is, until this year at WrestleMania 41, when she wrestled IYO SKY and Bianca Belair for the Women’s World Title. That is now Rhea’s biggest moment, despite ending up on the losing end.
“Honestly, the WrestleMania moment, I always said my match with Charlotte [at WrestleMania 39], because it’s everything that I wanted my first Mania to be. Because it ended up being the COVID Mania. I didn’t get my family, I didn’t get the crowd, I didn’t get anything that normally goes into a Mania. And it was just like, wow, I’m back at the place that I really didn’t like going to every day, and this is my WrestleMania. So to then go and face Charlotte again, but it being in front of a crowd, and I saw my family in the front row, I had all the adrenaline in the world. Everything was so perfect, and then I beat her for the first time. I won the SmackDown Women’s Championship, that was my WrestleMania moment.
“But then now I feel like the match with IYO and Bianca has triumphed that. I am literally so proud of that match. I love those two so much, going through NXT with them, overcoming things with them, watching them overcome things, watching them grow as performers, and then me growing as performer to get to that point where we could go to WrestleMania and have such a stellar match, and have people chanting, this is awesome, and us being the opener. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I understand I lost, it doesn’t matter at that time. It really didn’t, because that was IYO’s moment, but we all got a moment from it at the same time,” Rhea Ripley said.
