"We felt pretty damn invincible" - WWE Legend sees a lot of herself in Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley's work in The Judgment Day over the past year has been an important part of WWE programming.

The Nightmare has taken her WWE persona to another level since joining The Judgment Day in 2022.

With a SmackDown Women's Championship match with Charlotte Flair on the horizon at WrestleMania 39, Ripley's momentum seems like a runaway freight train that won't slow down anytime soon.

WWE Hall of Famer Lita was a recent guest on WWE's The Bump this week to discuss a wide variety of subjects. While discussing Rhea Ripley's current transformation as a member of The Judgment Day, Lita admitted that she felt pretty invincible herself as a member of Team Xtreme.

"So it's interesting because Liv [Morgan], you brought up that it's kind of brought out a mean-like side of Rhea. However, I will say like having backup does wonders for your confidence," Lita admitted. "And then it manifests in different ways sometimes. I immediately thought back to my days as debuting versus joining Team Xtreme, and we felt pretty damn invincible because we knew that we had each other's backs at all times."

The veteran continued:

"And Rhea and her group [The Judgment Day], she knows that while it's tough, and she can handle herself, that she's got backup at any time and so I think that kind of brings out this new confidence, which either brings out the best or the worst in people."

Was this a one-time occurrence between Ripley and Lumis? Or will there be more interactions on the horizon? We'll find out soon enough.
