NXT Superstar Rhea Ripley recently spoke to Mumbai Newspaper Mid-Day. Here are some highlights…

On the possibility of wrestling in America seeming like a dream:

“When I first started I dreamt of coming to WWE but did not see it much as a possibility.”

On leaving her support system:

“When you are away from family and friends at the Performance Center, and to think that I was not doing as well as I should be or being told that I could do better started getting to me and I did think about quitting a few times.”

On getting the chance to compete at WrestleMania:

“It’s insane! The easiest way to describe my journey so far in the last 6-8 months in WWE has been insane! To be the first woman to defend the NXT title at Wrestlemania is awesome and I love making history. Facing the Rumble winner Charlotte is cool and different and I like that.”
