Rhea Ripley is gearing up for a mega showdown at WrestleMania 41. However, just a day before she competes at the Allegiant Stadium, her husband, Buddy Matthews, shared a message for her.
Mami will be a part of a huge title match at WrestleMania 41. She will compete in a Triple Threat match against Bianca Belair and IYO SKY with the WWE Women's World Championship on the line.
Ripley was the reigning champion until the 2025 Elimination Chamber. On the RAW after the event, she dropped the title to IYO, but eventually found her way back into the showdown at The Showcase of the Immortals.
Just days before The Eradicator graced the WWE Universe with her presence at WrestleMania, her husband and current AEW star Buddy Matthews took to his Instagram stories to drop a beautiful message for Ripley.
"Aprreciation post. I'm the most lucky bloke to have found my bestie."
Rhea Ripley revealed something that she was terrified of in the past
Rhea Ripley has become known for her demeanor and dominating presence inside the squared circle. However, it was a surprise that Mami was terrified about an important part of being a popular name.
In an interview with The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Rhea Ripley revealed that she used to be terrified of the media. However, years of practice made her a natural, and nowadays, Mami is known to have a spectacular presence in interviews.
"Media was always something that I was terrified of, like sitting down talking to you right now, I would be absolutely crapping myself. I was so scared of doing media. I feel like the practice over the years has gotten me to this point where it’s second nature. And I feel like 'Mania week, as crazy as it is, it’s also reps that I need, and it’s also helping me get better at talking to people, and getting my name out there, and putting across what needs to be put across, and that’s a massive responsibility for me," Ripley added.
In the same interview, Ripley also revealed that she had a lot of media interactions during WrestleMania 41 week. With the former WWE Women's World Champion looking to capture the title for a third time, it will be interesting to see if she can outlast IYO SKY and Bianca Belair on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
