Rhea Ripley may have gotten knocked out during her WrestleMania 39 match against Charlotte Flair
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley had a fantastic night at WrestleMania 39, as she defeated Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. But she could be feeling the physical consequences of that match. The Eradicator has claimed she was possibly "knocked out" during the bout.
Ripley and Flair's contest at WrestleMania 39 was filled with stiff strikes and power moves bound to leave a mark, with both women leaving everything in the ring. They exceeded expectations and had one of the best matches of night one.
It was so brutal that multiple people backstage asked Rhea Ripley if she got knocked out. Ariel Helwani was one of them, posing the question during the Australian star's interview with BT Sport. Ripley said she wasn't sure whether she got knocked out, with it being a possibility.
Here is what she said:
"I think I'm okay. You're not the first person to say that to me, so maybe I did get knocked out. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't remember that. Apart from that, my elbow's a little bit banged up. I feel great. I'm happy, I'm ecstatic. We'll see what happens when the adrenaline wears off," Ripley said during her interview with BT Sport's Ariel Helwani. (0:45 - 1:00)
