Sportskeeda recently spoke to NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley about her rivalry with Charlotte Flair, and it turns out that she would be open to the idea of Bianca Belair getting involved in their
WrestleMania match to make it a Triple Threat.
Ripley successfully defended the title against Belair during Sunday's
NXT TakeOver: Portland event, but Belair actually challenged the Queen to a singles match during last night's episode of NXT.
"If they add Bianca Belair to it, I honestly don't mind," Ripley said. "I love fighting Bianca, and if she got put into the match, I'd be all for it. I'm not going to argue about it and say that she doesn't deserve it, because she does deserve it. She deserves her WrestleMania moment and, if she gets added to it, I'm not going to complain."
Ripley also commented on the fact that she's received a lot of support from WWE higher ups like Vince McMahon, Triple H, and Paul Heyman after being given the chance to compete at WrestleMania.
"It's insane to think that all the higher-ups think so highly of me. Especially coming from Adelaide, Australia to now being a part of WWE and having people like Triple H - who was the reason I started wrestling - to have him and Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman actually enjoy what I'm doing and believe in me - it's a wonderful feeling, and I don't know how to put it into words."
"It just makes me feel very special and proud of how far I've come in this business - and how much work, time and effort, blood, sweat and tears I've put into this."
Ripley's star is definitely on the rise, and it's easy to imagine her stealing the show at WrestleMania alongside Flair. Adding Belair to the mix would be no bad thing, of course, but time will tell whether that's really something WWE is considering.
