Rhea Ripley: Elimination Chamber Is My WrestleMania Before WrestleMania

Rhea Ripley calls Elimination Chamber her WrestleMania Before WrestleMania.

Rhea Ripley is ready for her WrestleMania before WrestleMania.

At Elimination Chamber on Saturday morning, Rhea Ripley will look to defend her WWE Women’s World Championship vs the formidable Nia Jax. The match will be on home turf for both women, as they were both born in Australia, but with Ripley’s pride in her roots, the crowd will be very much behind her.

While speaking to The West Sport, Ripley would go on to call Elimination Chamber her WrestleMania before WrestleMania.

“I’m glad that I had the sunnies. Because my eyes were getting a bit teary and I’m just happy to be home. I really am and I’m so happy that we get to bring a PLE to Australia. Not just any PLE, we get to bring Elimination Chamber. We’re on the road to WrestleMania and one of the stops there is here in Australia, here in Perth, here at Optus Stadium and it’s such a special event, it really is. To be the face of the PLE as well, to be on the poster, to have Motionless in White as the theme song, made for Rhea Ripley, so it makes me very, very proud and it just makes me look back at my career and it makes me look at everything that I’ve gone through and it’s all built up to this moment. This is my WrestleMania before WrestleMania.”

Ripley was present at a WWE press event earlier this week, where she would douse Nia Jax in Prime before throwing the bottle at the challengers head.

In a seperate interview, Nia Jax stated she was going to play spoiler for fans who want to see Ripley vs Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. You can read more about that here.
