excited and all jazzed up.
WWE Raw is coming to Hartford
on Monday this morning.
We are happy to have Superstar
top heel Rhea Ripley joining us.
Rhea, thank you so much for taking the time.
No worries. Thanks for having m.
Now, this is not Ria's first bot
at coming to the capital city.
She has been here before in
the last couple of years.
But besides that, let's get right to it.
Seth Rollins put his arm
around your shoulder.
I saw this on TikTok on WWE Raw.
Now your response was short.
Cut to the point.
Tell us about that moment.
I thought it was dumb.
I yeah. I'm upset with rollers because
I thought it was Dominic and I s
living in the moment with
my Dom, Dom celebrating
and cheering on my fellow
Judgment Day members.
And then I heard this little cae
in the side of my ear and I was like,
that's not Dom's laugh. And
he freaked me out.
I didn't even know how to respond to it.
I was just like, get in the rin,
like, go away from me.
So he's going to get
what's coming to him and.
Not only surprised me,
but it surprised Dom as
well, so I know that he's gonna
want to do something about it. d
no pun intended,
it was nice to see that Raw mom.
Now. I saw that on TikTok.
I wasn't actually in watching WWE Raw.
Now for TikTok,
you have a pretty big accolade to celebrate.
You just hit 2,000,000 followers on there,
which is a totally different platform
from the people that are comingt
and seeing you live at WWE Raw.
For people that don't know
who Rhea Ripley is, tell us.
Who you are as a wrestler,
but also who you are as a perso.
I'm a mess. I'm chaotic.
I love, obviously, to beat people up.
I love to cause a bit of
pain and bring the brutality,
and I not only do it by myself,
but I do it with my fellow
Judgment Day members.
I do it with Finn Ballad,
Damian Priest and my Dum Dum
Dominic Messerio. So.
We go out there and we prove
to everyone exactly why
the Judgment Day runs WWE.
Yeah, I'm definitely a different
kind of athlete. I'm always.
Typically bigger than my oppone,
so I love to ragdoll them and throw them
around and show them what my strength
entails and what I can do in the ring.
But I also do it in a cunning sort of way.
But that's pretty much rear Rip.
I just love to bring a little
bit of pain and brutality.
Everyone stay.
Now, pain and brutality is all
a part of the fun for you,
if we can call it the fun for you at WWE Raw.
For folks that are going to be
coming out Monday, whether they
have ever watched WWE Raw or no,
what should fans expect?
An amazing show they're going t.
Be captivated by everything that
we do and everything that I say.
They're going to love
every single second of it.
It's going to be a life changing event.
If they decide to come
and it's their first show,
they're going to want to come to more
and they're going to start watcg
it on a weekly basis and they're
going to get addicted to the judgment
day and addicted to mommy becau.
We run Monday Night Raw and thee
going to absolutely love every single
second of what we do in that ri.
Now it's not often, if ever,
that you back down from anyone,
let alone male wrestlers.
Do you see the future of WWE
Ross shifting at all, involving
more inter gender matches comin?
I'm not too sure. So for
me I would like to see it
just for the pure fact that.
I also love beating up the men I love,
showing them exactly who I
am and proving my dominance.
And it's it's a different kind
of excitement from me because
you get to see the fear in their
eyes when they realize that.
They've taken you likely like
they they didn't take you as
a threat to begin with,
so I hope so for me,
but I'm not too entirely
sure what the future holds
now. Something that a lot of pee
may not know about all of the
wrestlers in the WWE Raw franche
is that philanthropy is huge.
What are some of the charities t
you are really passionate about?
Because there is so much work outside
of the ring that you all do as a whole.
And individually,
for me, I find WWE so rewarding with the
fact that we get to do all these other
things outside of the ring as w.
Like we get to do community events and like
BSR rallies and all of that sort of stuff.
And we get to just put a smile on everyone's
faces and inspire people and also just
captivate them in a different sort of
way that isn't just sports entertainment.
A lot of times we get fans outside of
wrestling and then bring them io
the wrestling environment and ty
start getting hooked on that as well.
For me, like knowing that I've
changed people's lives,
it's it's still weird to say
because it's just so unbelievab.
But like knowing that I've chand
people's lives outside of wrest,
that they're just like part of e
WWE Universe, it's it's really,
really rewarding for me.
I love that side of the business
and I think that's the most spel
side of it as well.
Well, we just got to see a soft
spot 10 year wrestling veteran a
Ripley coming to Hartford June ,
Monday morning or this weekend.
It is going to be something that
you don't want to miss a characr
in the video game WWE2K20.
Matt Scott, that's something you
and I will never be able to say.
Rhea, thank you so much for takg
the time and best of luck to yo.
No worries. Thank you so much.
