Rhea Ripley recently appeared on the WWE Die Woche program for an interview promoting the upcoming WrestleMania Goes Hollywood two-night premium live event at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. on April 1 and April 2.
During the discussion, The Judgment Day member spoke about being out of action in 2022 due to injury and missing out on a women’s championship match as a result.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts.
On being out of action at that time: “It was definitely strange (being out of action), especially because at that time, I was go, go, go. I was on TV, I was on the live events, I was doing absolutely everything, my schedule was extremely busy and to have that sort of cut down to just TVs and I missed a couple in between. I missed like two weeks I think it was and then I came back and maybe it was months. Maybe it went faster than I realized (she laughed).”
On playing the manager role at that time: “But, then I finally came back and I started doing more manager-style stuff which I was happy about because it means I was still on TV, I was still getting to go to work and getting to do the one thing that I love and that is getting to perform in front of everyone for WWE and I slowly got more and more into it. I got to beat up some of the guys and do my thing. So I feel like I only had that slight little bit of time off that sort of went quickly in a way but, the whole injury in itself went by really, really fast for me. Faster than I could have anticipated because by the time I had my match in NXT against Roxanne (Perez), I felt like not much time had passed at all.”
