In a departure from her on-screen character, Ripley’s tweet conveyed a message of positivity and perseverance, acknowledging the challenges of dealing with detractors:
“Some people hate to see others succeed. All you can do is stay determined, stay humble, stay on track and continue to shine brighter than they ever could with their b*m *ss attitudes.”
Looking ahead to WrestleMania 40, where she is scheduled to defend her title against Becky Lynch, Ripley expressed confidence in her ability to deliver a memorable performance.
Lynch earned her shot at the championship by winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia.
In an interview with Gorilla Position, Ripley emphasized the importance of storytelling and anticipation in building up to their WrestleMania showdown:
“So I feel like going into WrestleMania 40, the whole main thing is the story and the build-up, to build this match so it can be even bigger than what we expect. Yes, I want to have a fantastic match, and I feel like putting Becky and I in there would make such a perfect combination for a fantastic match.”
The anticipation surrounding Ripley’s title defense against Lynch at WrestleMania 40 is palpable, with fans eager to see how the storyline unfolds on the grand stage of WWE’s biggest event.
The outcome of their clash will undoubtedly have significant implications for the future of the Women’s World Championship.
Ripley’s journey from NXT standout to Women’s World Champion has been nothing short of remarkable, and her ability to connect with audiences both in and out of the ring has solidified her status as one of WWE’s top stars.
As she prepares to face Lynch in what promises to be a highly anticipated match at WrestleMania 40, Ripley remains focused on staying humble, determined, and ready to shine on the grandest stage of them all.
