Former NXT UK Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley recently spoke with the folks at Inside The Ropes where she discussed being involved in Tegan Nox’s injury.
On wanting to inspire people:
“It’s very important for me. I just want to hopefully inspire everyone out there that they can do it. It’s very hard being a girl growing up in a male-dominated sport and even just in general growing up being a girl so I am happy that I can inspire all the young women out there to just show them that you can do it too.”
On Tegan Nox’s injury:
“That was a very heartbreaking moment for me and everyone that was involved, everyone that was there, it was distressing seeing her in so much pain, but at the same time the show must go on so you put the mean face on and just keep going, man.”
How she feels being a part of NXT UK:
“Everything. Absolutely everything, just being here and seeing everyone and how far this has come to the first ever Performance Center in the UK, being a part of history.”
