#2. Rhea Ripley cried after she won the RAW Women's Championship at WWE WrestleMania 37

Rhea Ripley has climbed through the ranks in WWE and finally lifted her first main roster Championship back at WrestleMania 37.

The 24-year-old defeated Asuka as part of the show and made history when she became the first woman to lift the NXT Women's, NXT UK, and RAW Women's Championships in WWE.

This was obviously an emotional moment for Ripley, who told TV Insider that she told herself not to cry as she walked back through the curtain, but was obviously overwhelmed.

“It was crazy walking through the curtain and seeing the crowd and how excited they were. All my dreams were coming true. It was something I worked toward for a long time. I was trying to hold it all together, telling myself, ‘Don’t cry.’
“Then I looked over to Edge near me, and he had tears in his eyes. He nodded at me and winked. I just lost it. I could not hold it together. Then I saw this fan in the front saying, ‘Hey Rhea! You got this. You’re going to kill it’ — giving me this pep talk. Next thing I know, I’m being shown on the big screen.”

WWE Hall of Famer Edge had quite a big night of his own since he later went on to main event the show, but wasn't able to lift the Universal Championship when he was defeated by Roman Reigns.
