Rhea Ripley

“Starting at 16 in Australia at Riot City Wrestling, I learned a lot about myself and wrestling in general.”

“It's insane to have people recognize me for my work and get behind me.”

“Music does help me a lot with my character, with the fact that I have to have a really good theme song, something that I can get into while I'm walking down the ramp. It puts me into that mindset that I'm going into a mosh pit.”

“I guess glory just means, like, knowing that I did my best and I got as far as I could.”

“I feel like once my career is all done and dusted, and I've done everything I could have possibly done, then that's my glory. Then I can live, and have a normal life, and go have kids. I love wrestling, but when that day comes, I'm going back home and I'm starting a family.”

“It's such a big step to move to a completely different country with pretty much no one.”

“I read a lot of things on Twitter, and I see a lot of things about Shayna and about me. I absolutely hate it when they rag on her and say she's boring. She's a heel, she's not supposed to be exciting. She's not supposed to make you like her.”

“Training with only girls is good and beneficial because we work with each other and there is no intergender in WWE.”

“Everyone has seen the serious side of myself and sometimes I need to take a chill pill and have a good laugh. That's who I am as a person.”

“I look up to so many powerful women who succeeded before me and I'm here doing my thing to inspire women who will come after me.”

“I wanna make my family proud, I wanna make Australia proud, all of that.”

“My work ethic is don't stop until you reach the top pretty much and I put in dedication every single day of my life, I'm glad it's paying off.”

“If I want to be Vegeta, let me be Vegeta.”

“I love The Miz! I absolutely love him. He's so snarky and that's who I want to be. I want to have cool comebacks and get people to listen to me and be invested in me. Even CM Punk - when he spoke, everyone listened.”

“To think how far I've come from wrestling in little Adelaide, South Australia, to now having Triple H say nice words about me and putting me over everyone is wild.”

“It's great to see wrestling expand and get the attention it deserves. It's such a great, great sport.”

“Guilty pleasure - I love Falling in Reverse. Ronnie Radke is just amazing.”

“Especially being a punk and all that, I love my look and I don't care if someone doesn't like it.”

“Social media can be very negative at times.”

“I like being me and portraying myself in a certain way that makes me feel comfortable and confident.”
