Chapter 2: How did Rhea Ripley transform her character in WWE?

1058.152 - 1077.302 Will Friedle

Like, with me and Jade, she's been pretty much unstoppable for a while now. And, like, this is her third WrestleMania, I believe. And I'm just like, you're walking in as champion. Yeah. But I have now – this is my seventh WrestleMania – I've walked in as champion. I've walked out as champion. I've walked in no championship. I've walked out no championship.

0

1077.322 - 1096.495 Will Friedle

Like I've experienced all of it, but she hasn't experienced much of it. So I think with this one in particular, because every single match kind of has a different – fight feeling going into WrestleMania because obviously stories are different. Of course. Feuds are different. This one is more like name value.

0

1096.555 - 1119.142 Will Friedle

Like people have wanted to see me and Jade step in the ring and there's no better place than WrestleMania. The biggest stage of them all. Our Super Bowl of wrestling. So I think that's what makes our match and our championship match so like exciting. People were just, they've been wanting to see this for a long time. Just two big beefy girls going at it, you know? I love it. I love it.

0

1119.262 - 1151.696 Will Friedle

It does feel like over the past year, most of wrestling's biggest feuds have at times felt very real, blurring the lines of reality more and more, which us fans love. And this match with Jade has had those moments in spades. Does it ever feel like too much? Because I think I would cry. Sometimes it's like... You just want to make sure the other person has a little bit of a heads up. Okay.

0

1151.876 - 1171.126 Will Friedle

At least. In some circumstances, there's no heads up. Okay. And it definitely does make it a little bit more difficult to go out there and make magic. But we're all professional. So it's like, even if it does hit home, you kind of just have to get over it.

1171.406 - 1171.767 Unknown

Yeah.

1171.948 - 1183.293 Will Friedle

Even though it's like a really weird thing to do. It's like, just, you just got to kind of get over it. Just leave your personal stuff out of it. I mean, that's gotta be hard though. That's what we're saying. It's not really leaving it out of it.

1183.313 - 1189.626 Unknown

I know. That's why it's gotta be so difficult where if there is something, then it's like, well, I can't really think about that, but it's, you're then fighting.

1189.646 - 1204.023 Will Friedle

Well, similarly, when we started the podcast, before we started, we had a lunch where we said, is there anything, because we all know, we know each other very well. Are there things that are off limits for each of us?

Chapter 3: What challenges does Rhea face as a female wrestler?

2572.161 - 2579.831 Unknown

It's like shopping with my wife. Put this on, put this on, put this on. It's like, all right. I'll go try these on, babe.

2579.851 - 2596.009 Will Friedle

Thanks. Rhea, thank you so much for being here. I can't wait to watch this weekend. I'll be cheering you on. This was really such an honor and I just adore you. And for all the right reasons, you are a wonderful person and role model for all of us. So thank you. Thank you. I've had fun.
