Rhea Ripley on her similarities with Randy Orton
"Theyโre so funny, and Riddle is just so annoying to Randy and I love every minute of it, itโs exactly how Nikki is to me. Theyโre like our little siblings, you know? You canโt hate them! You just tolerate them."
Ripley revealed that even though she was always friends with Nikki, the two were not very close before being paired on-screen. She said once the two practically became roommates, the bond grew exponentially:
"Nikki and I, we didnโt really hang out beforehand, and now sheโs one of my favourite people in the world. Like, I loved her before but now we are so close. Weโre roommates, weโre travel buddies, [we were] tag champs. I love the girl, I think sheโs absolutely hilarious โ so itโs really nice to see where bonds form."
A few weeks back, Ripley and Nikki lost the women's tag team championships to Queen Zelina and Carmella. Since then, Rhea and Nikki seem to be having some trouble in paradise.
