Rhea Ripley recently opened up about WWE's creative process and revealed how she handles being given pitches she was not fond of. The Eradicator will be facing IYO SKY and Naomi in a Triple Threat match for the Women's World Championship at WWE SummerSlam 2025.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Rhea Ripley was asked how she dealt with WWE storylines that she did not enjoy. The former champion revealed that she was able to make everything her own, even if she wasn't a fan of the storyline.
“You kind of just try and make it your own. You have to put your personal twist on things. Because sometimes you can give your ideas and have that, like, work together on what is actually being done, but sometimes they’re set on what they want, and you just have to make it into something that represents you how you are. That’s the best that you can do sometimes. I feel like we’re all very good at making something our own," said Ripley. [H/T: Fightful]
