Rhea Ripley details how working with Judgment Day has helped her promo game.
Rhea Ripley's abilities as a wrestler were always her main strong suit during her formative years in WWE. However, throughout her time as a member of Judgment Day, it has been her ability to effectively portray a character that has allowed her to reach a new level of superstardom.
During a recent appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, Ripley detailed how working with Judgment Day, especially in the early days with Edge, helped her with her work on the microphone.
"Joining the Judgment Day helped a lot. When I first entered with Edge and Damian. What better person to fall back on than Edge? Also, Damian, he was better than me. He was still learning, but he was better than me. I felt comfortable even though most of the time I didn’t know I didn’t know what the hell I was saying because we used a lot bigger words when Edge was in the faction. ‘I don’t know what that means, but I’m going to try and say it.’ I feel like if I did forget where I was going or got lost on the way, I could fall back on them and they would have my back and they remembered my part of the promo too, so they could say what I was going to say," she recalled. "Obviously, we grew and Edge, we kicked him out, Finn joined, Dom and JD came along. Every time I get to go out there with them, it’s just joking and talking with friends. They were always there and we would look at each other. It was a rare time that I would look at the crowd. I would look at them and the main camera, and that’s all I would look at so it felt like I was joking around and talking with them. It makes you feel more comfortable and confident. You slowly get better at it because you get reps, and the next thing you know you’re out there by yourself and cutting an amazing promo."
Rhea Ripley's Judgment Day run would catapult her to the Women's World Championship, which she will have held for over a year by the time she faces Becky Lynch for the title at WrestleMania XL.
