Rhea Ripley On One Thing You Don’t Get Told Before Entering The Elimination Chamber: Just How Much Your Anxiety Spikes Being Stuck In One Of Those Pods

Rhea Ripley comments on the one thing that she wasn’t told about before entering her first Elimination Chamber.

Ripley is one of the top stars in WWE, and this coming weekend she will enter her second Elimination Chamber match since her WWE debut. Ripley previously competed in the 2022 Women’s Chamber match, but came up short in that one.

While speaking to SportsCenter in a new interview, Rhea Ripley was asked what nobody warns you about before entering your first Elimination Chamber, with Rhea pointing to the claustrophobic anxiety that comes with being locked in a pod.

“Just how much your anxiety spikes being stuck in one of those pods. That’s the main one. You go into the match and you know it’s gonna be brutal. You know it’s gonna be painful and the steel is not gonna feel good on your body. You know all these things just by looking at the Elimination Chamber. But what you don’t take into consideration is if you’re not the first two, you don’t know how long you’re going to be standing in that pod for. So like you have so much time to think and like rev yourself up and then doubt yourself and talk yourself out of it and then rev yourself back up. It’s just, it’s craziness just standing there. But that’s all part of the game, you know, it’s all part of the fun. I love Elimination Chamber. I’ve only been in one, and I had the time of my life because even though, yes, it is a little bit claustrophobic in those pods, as soon as you get let out, it’s time to wreak havoc.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Rhea reflected on main eventing the 2024 event. You can read more about that here.
