“She Is Taking Me for Granted”: Rhea Ripley Explains How Charlotte Flair’s Overconfidence Will Lead to Her Downfall at WrestleMania 39

Rhea Ripley will face Charlotte Flair at the grandest stage for the second time in the last four years. The last time they clashed was at WrestleMania 36 at WWE Performance Center. There The Queen defeated the Australian star for the NXT Women’s Championship. But Mami claims she is prepared for Flair this time. 

Ripley recently detailed how this time she will be the one standing tall after the match. Moreover, she shed a light on Flair taking her for “granted”.

Rhea Ripley on why this time she will defeat Charlotte Flair

The Eradicator appeared for an interview on WWE Deutschland and shared how she plans to defeat Flair. Ripley recalled the last time she faced The Queen, she was confident because of her NXT run.

The 26-year-old said, “I did all those things. My confidence was high, and I thought I could conquer the world. But unfortunately, Charlotte cut me off my knees and stopped my momentum. Now I really have the time to focus and knuckle down to perfect my craft and get better and better.”

Ripley added, “And I’m going into WrestleMania, a different Rhea Ripley. Yes, I’m more confident, but I’m more prepared than Charlotte has to do. I know Charlotte back of my head now because of stepping in the ring many times.”

Prior to their match at WrestleMania 36, Ripley had a great run in NXT. She beat Shayna Baszler, who was a dominant force at the time. Moreover, The Judgement Day member went into the War Games and also represented team NXT at the Survivor Series but bowed to The Queen at WrestleMania 36.

Ripley says Flair is taking her for granted ahead of WrestleMania 39

The Queen is on another level right now. She quickly won the SmackDown Women’s Champion upon her return in December 2022. However, a month later Ripley won the Women’s Royal Rumble and challenged Flair. Despite this, Mami feels the blue brand’s champion doesn’t take her seriously.

The Eradicator said, “I think she is taking me for granted. I don’t think she understands what I’m actually capable of and she is in denial that she is stepping in with the new face of WWE in the women’s division. She doesn’t wanna accept the fact that there is new blood out there and we are taking over.”

WrestleMania 39 is just weeks away and Ripley seems absolutely ready for The Queen. The WWE universe is waiting for them to clash this year. What are your thoughts on Ripley’s comments? Share your thoughts below.
