Rhea Ripley, an experienced participant in WWE’s WarGames matches, recently shared insights about the toughest aspects of competing in this intense and demanding match type. Ahead of her fifth WarGames bout, Ripley revealed on “Raw Recap” that mental preparation is key to facing one of WWE’s most physically brutal contests.
The Australian wrestler is set to join forces with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, AJ Lee, and Iyo Skye in a women’s WarGames match against the team of Becky Lynch, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax, and Rush Legends. Ripley pointed out that while Flair, Bliss, and Iyo Skye bring valuable WarGames experience, AJ Lee—making just her second WWE appearance since returning—has never competed in this kind of match before. Ripley emphasized the importance of ensuring Lee is both physically and mentally ready to handle the extreme challenges WarGames presents.
Having appeared in WarGames matches on both NXT and WWE’s main roster, Ripley was also part of the winning team in last year’s match, underlining her status as a seasoned competitor in this grueling environment.
