La nouvelle championne de NXT, Rhea Ripley, n’a pas peur de grand chose… mais la célébration des fans dans le ring, après son combat de la semaine dernière contre Shayna Baszler, l’a pris de court.
En entrevue pour Sports Illustrated, Ripley a admis qu’elle a été terrifiée durant les célébrations car elle avait peur de tomber au sol.
Ripley s’est toutefois sentie confortable en voyant un des grands fans de NXT.
“I don’t really get picked up too often, so I was absolutely terrified. At one point, they put me up on the corner of the ring, and I looked into the crowd and saw this fan named Kyle, who is always at all of our shows and everyone knows as the ‘Florida Wrestling Fan.’ I don’t know what it is about Kyle, but I feel very comfortable when he’s there, maybe just ’cause I see his face all the time. I saw him, and he goes, ‘Crowd surf!’ And I thought, ‘That is a bad ass idea.’ So I looked at the fellas around me and was like, ‘Reckon everyone can hold me for a crowd surf?’
