During a recent interview with Screenrant, Nia Jax commented on her upcoming match with Rhea Ripley at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event and expressed her belief that Ripley is one of the top athletes in the company.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On facing Rhea Ripley tomorrow night: “Rhea is one of our top athletes. Female, male, she’s one of our top athletes. I think, previously, when we got into it, we had the main event in Elimination Chamber last year, I tried a different strategy. But this time I feel like I got to match her with some intensity. I think just coming out of the gate, and going pound for pound with her and seeing if I could just wear her down and then pick at her, pick her apart.”

On taking part in Saturday Night’s Main Event: “It’s a beautiful history. WWE is so good at keeping our history and our culture so strong. I come from a wrestling family, and I’ve seen my family throughout the years, the decades, on all these historic shows. Being a part of Saturday Night’s Main Event is going to be a cool thing on its own, but competing for this women’s World Heavyweight Championship is huge because I haven’t held that title. That’s something that I want in my accolades. That’s something I want when I look back in my history to say that, ‘Okay, I got that as one as well.’ Rhea thinks that she’s at the top of the pyramid for the women’s division, but I have a little bit of a rude awakening for her, because last year was my year, and I’m continuing it this year. I’m coming for that title. I don’t care what gets in my way.”

During a recent signing for Highspots’ Virtual Gimmick Table, Mandy Rose revealed that she’s not sure if she’ll ever return to the ring. She said,

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if I have an answer for that. I know it’s the question I get asked all day every day about it. I feel like there may be some unfinished business in the ring with Mandy Rose, especially now things ended. However I don’t also know…I don’t know where or when will be, if the right time, if the right place, and what that looks like because it’s such a what if thing. I’m really enjoying my life right now and all the opportunities that I have and everything that I’m doing outside of wrestling and obviously involving wrestling as well like here [the signing]. But I really don’t know. I know it’s a very open-ended answer, but yeah, that’s all I got for you for that.“”
