Rhea Ripley explained why she didn't feel comfortable in the early days of her WWE career
Rhea Ripley first broke out as a WWE Superstar in 2017, participating in the Mae Young Classic.
Reflecting on her early days in the company, The Eradicator claimed she didn't feel comfortable with her initial on-screen persona. In an interview with The West Sport, Ripley said:
"When I first came in for the first Mae Young Classic, I had the long blonde hair. I smiled way too much. Way too bubbly. It wasn’t me. The person you see today is the person I was back then. But I was trying so hard to be someone else because of who I watched growing up. I thought that’s what they wanted. I didn’t feel comfortable."
Ripley added:
"So, once I decided not to care what people thought about me (...) Cut my hair short (…). And once I did that and started wearing the long pants with the chains and the studs (…), I changed my persona, came out, and I was just mean mugging everyone, beating everyone up. ‘This is my brutality,’ it’s not even a joke. It’s what I did."
Ripley will defend the WWE Women's World Championship against Ivy Nile at WWE RAW: Day 1.
