Australian wrestling star Rhea Ripley recently discussed the evolution of women’s wrestling in WWE, her future plans with the company, and strongly advocated for the return of the all-women’s premium live event, Evolution 3.
With WrestleMania 42 season heating up, several WWE Superstars have been appearing on various podcasts. Rhea Ripley appeared on The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, hosted by Ebro Darden, Laura Stylez, and Peter Rosenberg. During the interview, she spoke about her upcoming WrestleMania match against Jade Cargill and several other topics.
Rhea opened up about her personal life, including her love for horror movies like Terrifier and Dawn of the Dead, as well as her newest pet dog, Bella, whom she jokingly described as an absolute ratbag. However, the most notable parts of the conversation focused on the growth of the women’s division, her desire for Evolution 3, and her long-term plans regarding her WWE career.
When asked by Ebro Darden about the evolution of women’s wrestling in WWE, Rhea replied:
“It’s honestly really cool. It’s really bloody cool seeing how far the women’s division has come. The women’s division before me, they really struggled to get the opportunities we get these days, but they made every moment count when they were going out there. It’s only grown so much over the past few years and it’s just continuing to grow. I’m excited to see where it heads after I’m done as well. But I know all of those women have put in the time and the effort into everything we get, whether it’s 30 seconds or 20 minutes. It doesn’t matter how long we get. We make sure we’re gonna be talked about by the end of it.”
She further expressed her support for an all-women’s premium live event, saying:
“It’s been really awesome seeing how the women’s evolution has grown. I know we had to wait eight, what was it, eight years for Evolution 2, which was a wild thing. But I feel like after Evolution 2, which was an all-women’s pay-per-view, we went out there and showed everyone exactly what we can do. I’m hoping that it takes less time now for Evolution 3. I really hope that everyone watched that and went, wow, this needs to be a yearly thing. Because we’re really busting our ass every time we go out there, and we’re making sure that we’re making as much history as we can along the way. But we’re trying to set up the future for better things as well. I really want to leave this company where the women’s division is better off.”
It’s impressive to see a top star like Rhea Ripley actively advocating for better opportunities for female wrestlers in WWE. From her comments about wanting to leave the company with the women’s division in a stronger position, it’s clear that Mami still has plenty of time left in WWE and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
