Rhea Ripley On Trying Not To ‘Mark Out’ Around Triple H

Rhea Ripley is the NXT Women’s Champion, but the 23 year old has come a long way in a very short time. Sometimes that requires making adjustments.

While speaking to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Ripley admitted that she has to try and not “mark out” around Triple H. Rhea Ripley grew up as a pro wrestling fan and she’s living her dream. That comes with being able to contain herself around some of her heroes.

“I try not to mark out around him, cause there is still that fan inside of me that is like, ‘this is so cool.’ And I’m like, ‘he’s my boss, I have to act normal.’ I can’t help but have a massive cheesy smile around him. He’s the reason that I am where I am for so many different reasons. He’s the reason I started wrestling, he’s the reason I work for NXT, he’s the reason that I am in the spot that I am in. And, man, it’s just incredible to see where I’ve come from and see what I’ve done along the lines and know that he’s been there throughout everything believing in me. And always getting me through it, telling me that I am worth it, and telling me that I can do it, and that I’m amazing at what I do. It’s really cool coming from someone like him.”

Rhea Ripley will get a lot more time with Triple H as the top woman on the NXT brand. She is only beginning her journey in WWE so let’s see how long it takes until Vince McMahon calls her to the main roster.
