Rhea Ripley comments on her win
Rhea Ripley commented on her win over Zelina Vega during a backstage interview with Megan Morant.
‘The Eradicator’ was asked how she felt about her win over the LWO member. Ripley stated that she didn’t care if the crowd was behind Vega. She said:
“You know I don’t really care if the crowd was strongly behind Zelina. I don’t care about these people. They don’t mean anything to me, just like Zelina doesn’t. But carry on with your stupid little question Megan. Maybe you could have just asked that question instead of all the other stuff that came with it, but you know what, I actually felt amazing. I felt amazing because you know what they were behind Zelina Vega so much and I shut them all up for good. When Mami walked out, the SmackDown Women’s Champion still, and Zelina Vega was left in the ring like a little pretzel. So, yeah you could say I’m pretty ecstatic. That’s all you’re getting from me. Goodbye.”
