Rhea Ripley Sends Message To WWE Name After Panic Attack

Rhea Ripley WWE

Rhea Ripley has paid tribute to a WWE producer.

At WrestleMania 40, Rhea Ripley put her Women’s World Title on the line against Becky Lynch in the opening match of the event. The Aussie star was played to the ring by Motionless In White and delivered another impressive performance as she retained the gold.

Following the match, it’s been reported that Becky Lynch will be taking a break from the ring, while her husband Seth Rollins will also be taking a step back.

Since becoming Women’s World Champion at WrestleMania 39, Ripley has risen to become one of the biggest stars in the industry, but as she recently revealed her fame has come at a price.

Rhea Ripley Suffers Panic Attack At WrestleMania

Speaking during an appearance at the WWE World panel, Rhea Ripley revealed she suffered a panic attack just hours before her match with The Man. The star said she was “violently shaking” two hours before her match but the nerves disappeared once she walked through the curtain.

In the days after WrestleMania, a picture of Ripley and producer Jason Jordan began doing the rounds on social media, showing the producer comforting the star ahead of her match.

While sharing the post, Ripley said Jordan was “the best.”

The former American Alpha star hasn’t wrestled since January 2018, after the match he was written off television to undergo neck surgery. The injury has all but ended his in-ring career, but the former Tag Team Champion has been working behind the scenes for several years.
