WWE superstar Rhea Ripley retained her title as the WWE Women's World Heavyweight Champion after her victory over Becky Lynch on the first night of WrestleMania 40. Notably, the fact that Mami was able to overcome each of the Four Horsewomen is a truly remarkable record. However, she triumphed over Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair back in 2019 during the Triple Threat Match.
Meanwhile, Ripley expressed her views on the Four Horsewomen's legacy in women's wrestling and the creative freedom she has been allowed throughout her career, among other insightful remarks. However, Ripley remarked in her discussion on the importance of creative freedom to her career. Notably, The Four Horsewomen have accomplished so much in the WWE and elevated women's wrestling to incredible heights. She also mentioned that she and Bianca Belair have been working hard to advance women's wrestling.
“Everytime I step out there in front of everyone, even doing things away from the crowd as well, I feel like I get to be the genuine person that I am. Obviously, it’s a little bit revved up because some of the things I do, I’d get arrested for in everyday life, but on the other hand, it’s just an organic version of me, it’s how I would react to things, it’s what I would say to things, it’s how I would feel emotionally to the things that are happening around me," Rhea Ripley said.
I am excited, genuinely, about something that is happening in my life: Rhea Ripley
When challenged if the Four Horsewomen's reign as the dominant force in women's wrestling ended with her victories over Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, Ripley praised their legacy by saying,
"I’ve had a lot of creative freedom with that, I get to be myself, be genuine, go out there and be the bad ass you all love, be the mami that you all love, but also show that side of me where I do let you see that little glimpse into my life where I am excited, genuinely, about something that is happening in my life, like you saw tonight with Motionless in White," she added further.
