Rhea Ripley: I’m Here To Make History, I Want To Etch My Name In The History Books

Rhea Ripley shares her thoughts on making history at WWE WrestleMania 39.

On the first night of WWE WrestleMania 39, 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship. In doing so, she became a Grand Slam Champion, as she has previously held the NXT UK Women’s Championship, the NXT Women’s Championship, the RAW Women’s Champion, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Speaking at the post-show press conference after WrestleMania 39 on April 1, Ripley commented on the milestone and stated that she is in WWE to make history, and she is proud of her journey.

“I’m here to make history. Growing up in Adelaide, South Australia, I always got told that my dream of coming to the WWE would probably not happen,” Ripley said. “So just making it here is such an accomplishment, but being the first Grand Slam Champion, to have those exact championships, is so satisfying.

“I’m so extremely proud of myself and my journey here to the WWE, and then my journey here within the WWE. To be able to accomplish all those historic moments, man, that’s the one thing that I strive for, making history. I want my name etched in the history books forever, and I’ve gone and done that.”
