Last night, WrestleMania 40 lit up Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, treating fans to a spectacular showcase of high-energy matches and moments that will be etched in memory forever.
One of the standout moments of the night was Rhea Ripley’s tough win against Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship. It was a brutal match, but Ripley emerged victorious, defending her title for the second time. This victory solidifies her position as one of the top talents in the WWE.
But beyond the intense in-ring action, WrestleMania 40 also delivered some deeply emotional moments. One of the most heartwarming instances occurred backstage after the hard-fought championship clash between Ripley and Lynch.

What a night it was at WrestleMania 40! Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch put on an absolute show that will go down in history. They left everything in the ring, delivering a match filled with intense submissions, jaw-dropping aerial moves, and heart-stopping near falls.
In the end, it was Ripley who emerged victorious, using her signature Riptide maneuver to overcome Lynch and retain her WWE Women’s World Championship.
Amidst all the spotlight shining on Mami after her incredible victory, there was a truly heartwarming moment that stole the show. Backstage, Charlotte Flair (who had been Ripley’s fierce rival in last year’s WrestleMania where Ripley clinched the SmackDown Women’s Title) sought out the new champion.

Ripley and Flair are historic rivals fighting each other in many matches over the years. The South Australian is known for being bold and strong, and she is determined to establish herself as the best in the division at present.
On the flip side, The Queen of WWE is determined to keep her reputation as a top wrestler. Their ongoing rivalry is fueled by their desire to prove themselves.
Rhea Ripley’s Victory Attributed to Intense Workout Regimen
Rhea Ripley’s commitment to the gym played a big role in her WrestleMania triumph. She follows a tough workout routine, hitting the gym six days a week.
Her training includes intense cardio and long weightlifting sessions that can last up to three hours. In an interview with British GQ, she revealed that gym is her “happy place,” and that she likes “to spend time there.”
The 27-year-old’s non-stop hard work has definitely helped her become stronger, last longer in matches, and explode into action when needed at WrestleMania. Her dedication to training has made her tough physically and mentally, ensuring she’s always ready to give her best when it’s time to step into the ring.
