3. Rhea Ripley Gives An Update On Her Work Visa
In an interview with PWInsider, Rhea Ripley discussed her WrestleMania 36 match with Charlotte Flair, and also gave an update on her visa work.
Below are the highlights:
On her WrestleMania match with Charlotte Flair:
“I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed it thoroughly, even though it was super weird with no crowd. And it was the first time that I had competed or just come out in front of no crowd.
It was super strange, but at the same time, like WrestleMania is WrestleMania and it was still a huge moment for me in my career; to be able to share that and share the ring was no one other than Charlotte Flair was just incredible.
To have so much praise on that match after we did it, it was just insane to think that I’m 23 years old, I’ve been wrestling for 8 years and I was just on WrestleMania. Everyone telling me that I just absolutely killed it.
Man, it was definitely a confidence boost. And I was so happy that I legit, like I don’t cry, but I cried. I sat down and I teared up. I was just sobbing. It’s just like an overwhelming feeling of just pride and stress just being lifted, but it was amazing.”
On the Coronavirus pandemic and her work visa expiring:
“It’s very sad. I’m a huge family person. I love having my mom, my dad, and my sister around. I love having all my friends around from Australia and I really, really do miss them, and it’s sad. Especially knowing that for WrestleMania, they were supposed to be in the crowd watching me. And then I had to go home and do my visa, which is now…I have to do it from here somehow.
And then my sister was coming back to do a camp that I don’t remember what it was called, but a camp. I was supposed to spend a lot of time with them and knowing that I won’t get to see them for a lot longer now it’s sad because I haven’t seen them since I want to say Christmas, and it’s too long for me. I miss my family.
FaceTime can only do so much. I want to give them a hug. I want to spend time with them. So I was talking to my mom and she was saying that possibly Australia might not open up its border for like two years. And I’m like, that’s so long for me.”
