Damian Priest Was Emotional After Seeing Rhea Ripley Win SmackDown Women’s Championship At WrestleMania, Says He Is Proud Of Her Hard Work

The Judgement Day is fully supportive of their new champion, Rhea Ripley.

 In a new interview with the Out Of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, Ripley’s fellow Judgment Day member Damian Priest commented on Ripley’s WrestleMania win.

“Yeah, the homie Rhea. Obviously, everybody knows that we became friends in NXT and we’ve stayed close ever since, she’s like my little sister. I’m so happy and proud of [her WrestleMania title win]. I legit got a little emotional last night, seeing how hard she’s worked. She’s been through a lot, being away from her home and her family. A lot of us sacrifice but not to that level. Her family is literally on the other side of the planet and [she’ll] go years without seeing them. For somebody that grew up very close knit with their family, that’s hard. But she muscles through, literally, and keeps working hard and never stops striving for more. It’s really gratifying on my end to witness it and to be a part of it and to share that enjoyment she’s feeling right now. So proud of her.”

Rhea Ripley came face to face with Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair on the Raw After WrestleMania.
