A few weeks ago, The Eradicator talked about her relationship with the boys and especially Damian Priest. She said that it has always been easy for her to get along with them. While many fans see tension between her and Priest on screen, she said that is not the case. Ripley further added that it has always been easy to get along with him, and she feels that they are very similar.

Ripley also stated that they both wish to do an inter-gender tag team match in the future. Priest also shared somewhat similar thoughts on Rhea Ripley.
