Rhea Ripley got very emotional after WWE fans in Italy honored her late grandmother.<\/p>\n

The Italian crowd chanted \u201cNonna,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>which suggests grandmother in Italian, during Rhea\u2019s match against Jade Cargill on the Clash In Italy event.<\/p>\n

Rhea posted on social media, saying she literally desired to cry after hearing the touching tribute. Her grandmother passed away in April 2023, and The Eradicator\u00a0wore special ring gear to honor her on the event.<\/p>\n

Rhea Ripley nearly lost the 2023 Women\u2019s Royal Rumble match as her hands almost slipped off the ropes.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with ESPN,<\/em> Rhea revealed that she was very sweaty from the motion all day long. She had previously attacked Edge (Adam Copeland) throughout the Men\u2019s Royal Rumble match to assist her then-Judgment Day stablemates. Ege\u2019s wife, Beth Phoenix, got here out and speared Rhea on the concrete floor.<\/p>\n

Through the. Women\u2019s Royal Rumble match, The Eradicator got here out at #1 and scored seven eliminations in sixty minutes. Through the finish, she slipped and grabbed the highest rope, but was scared she would let go. Nevertheless, she still managed to carry on and beat Liv Morgan to win the match.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to take a look at some highlights from the interview below:<\/p>\n

On what she was pondering in the ultimate moments: <\/strong>\u201cWithout delay I\u2019m pondering, \u2018Please don\u2019t fall.\u2019 After which I slipped and I used to be like, \u2018Oh, please don\u2019t let go. If I let go, I\u2019ve screwed all the pieces up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, but like this whole day was just so stressful for me. Because I also got here out earlier and I got speared by Beth [Phoenix] on the concrete floor within the rampway, which is straight concrete. I used to be feeling that, after which I used to be like, \u2018Okay, well now I\u2019m going to are available in at primary,\u2019 which is just like the worst spot that anyone could ever are available in as within the Royal Rumble. Because you may have to outlast 29 other women, and it\u2019s just virtually inconceivable.\u201d<\/p>\n

On nearly letting go: <\/strong>\u201cI managed to get to the the last three, and by then I used to be so sweaty. My hands were wet. And I slipped and as soon as I grabbed it, I used to be like, \u2018Don’t let go. For the love of God, through all of the weights that you just picked up while being sweaty, that is the one you possibly can\u2019t drop. [laughs]\u201d<\/p>\n

On how close she was to letting go: <\/strong>\u201cVery close. Very close. Like, I used to be scared\u2026 And I used to be also fearful because I used to be like I used to be so drained. I used to be like, can I even sit up here [to headscissor Morgan]? I used to be like, I don\u2019t know if I may even grab her. But managed to do it, managed to power through. And that\u2019s the look of relief right there.\u201d<\/p>\n
