Rhea Ripley has found major success as a singles competitor and so far she’s managed to capture the NXT UK Women’s Championship, NXT Women’s Championship and the Raw Women’s Championship. Recently Rhea was paired with Nikki A.S.H. and it seems that the duo is off to a good start as they’re the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
Scott Fishman of TV Insider recently spoke to Rhea Ripley about her tag team with Nikki A.S.H. and she admitted that at first she wasn’t completely sold on the idea.
“At first I was a little bit standoffish. But she is growing on me. She is such a good person, warm-hearted and positive. Sometimes you just need someone like that behind you, especially when you’re someone like me who just goes out there and brutalizes people. Sometimes I need to calm down a little bit, so I’m glad to have Nikki by my side. To be honest, I’m having the time of my life right now in this tag team. It’s a lot of fun. I do miss singles competition and do love it, but there are always times for a change.”
Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. both worked their way up through the NXT brand, and Ripley also admitted that Nikki is someone she looked up to when she was in NXT.
“Right now, I think the fact we won the women’s tag team championship is truly incredible. And to do it with someone like Nikki (who) was in NXT when I first started. I really looked up to her. To hold these titles with her is truly extraordinary.”
