Not the knees alone, Rhea’s nose was also bleeding badly, causing fans concern. While talking to Btsportswwe, The champ said, ”The rest of my body was pretty cramped. Anyway, so I just sort of ignored it, and my nose was busted too so all I could smell was blood and it was just everywhere but I lived for this stuff.”

In the recent past, the lady superstar also faced a horror brain and teeth injury in the month of June last year during an episode of WWE Raw. It was against her old rival Bianca Belair, whom she might face again at the upcoming WrestleMania 39. Ripley’s other opponent might be Charlotte Flair who defeated her at Money in the Bank 2021. Despite both having a history of previous rivalry, the former is obviously more hyped.

Rhea Ripley entered the ring as No 1 and had been there in the ring till the last as the only 1. After a record of 61 minute’s terrific performance, the iron lady outlasted 29 other entrants, including Asuka and Liv Morgan, to confirm her ticket to WrestleMania Hollywood. She shattered Chelsea Green’s dream within just a few seconds of her entry. That elimination was absolutely commendable and one of the most memorable ones, too.

While fans can already see Rhea Ripley making history in the upcoming WrestleMania 39, we have to wait till April to see what awaits The Nightmare.
