Rhea Ripley wrestled in the independent circuit primarily before making the big move to WWE. At WWE, Ripley is the inaugural NXT UK Women’s Champion and a former NXT women’s champion. She lost the NXT Women’s title recently to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36.

Ripley is one of a kind performer and has hailed praises from many Superstars. In fact, she could be the next big face in the Women’s division. However, she lost to Flair. Ripley disappeared for a while, making her appearance almost a month later.

She gave an interview earlier today to WWE performance center’s Youtube channel. Ripley mentions she is upset and revealed her future plans. Watch the video below.

Ripley says, “Man, since WrestleMania… I have done nothing. Nothing, zilch, nada, nothing. I’ve had a lot of things going through my mind. One of them, the main one being how do I get my damn title back because I worked hard to be NXT Women’s Champion. I was no one before I came here. Absolutely no one. I knew no one when I first came here at the first Mae Young Classic, no one. The second Mae Young Classic, I sorta made a name for myself.”

She is getting over it and has set her eyes on Charlotte Flair to prove her worth yet again.

“Once I’m done with you. I’m gonna go back to Charlotte flair and get back what is rightfully mine. You know what is gonna happen Charlotte. Rhea Ripley is gonna happen. Rhea Ripley is gonna come back, and she’s gonna take her NXT women’s championship back.”, said Rhea Ripley.

After Riley feuds with Shirai, she might be next in line to challenge Charlotte Flair for the NXT women’s championship. Her winning the title back would be a happy ending to a fairy tale story.
