Rhea Ripley Reacts to CM Punk’s Touching Advice at WWE SummerSlam

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating the virtual wrestling world and even dabbled in some real-life role-playing, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of camaraderie watching this unfold. It’s heartening to see the behind-the-scenes support system that exists within the WWE community.

Backstage at the WWE SummerSlam, I found myself in a tense moment, just like old times as a gamer. It was Rhea Ripley, who’s famously battled nerves before big matches – especially those major shows. In her eyes, I saw the familiar glint of anxiety.

In much the same predicament as WrestleMania 40, she found herself under heavy strain. However, Ripley triumphantly retained her WWE Women’s World Championship. During the first night of WrestleMania 40, she put on an extraordinary show against Becky Lynch, one of the standout matches of the event.

During the WWE World Panel, Rhea Ripley shared that she had a two-hour bout of anxiety prior to her fight against Becky Lynch. She emphasized that such tension and stress are often prevalent before significant matches.

Jason Jordan, a WWE producer with a background in wrestling, reassured and boosted Ripley’s morale just before her bout. Later on, Ripley acknowledged Jordan’s help via X (formerly Twitter), praising him for assisting her through the anxiety attack preceding the match and referring to him as exceptional.

Last weekend at WWE SummerSlam, I found myself in a spot reminiscent of Ripley’s, with CM Punk stepping up to lend a supportive hand.

CM Punk seen offering comfort to Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam

Recently, WWE shared a backstage video blog detailing CM Punk’s ring re-entry. Last week at SummerSlam 2024, Punk, in an impressive comeback, squared off against his longtime rival, Drew McIntyre. Earlier this year, Punk was sidelined due to a torn tricep sustained at the Royal Rumble event, but he’s back now.

As a passionate fan, I recently stumbled upon a captivating behind-the-scenes vlog from SummerSlam. In this special peek, CM Punk was casually engaging with multiple WWE superstars backstage. A truly touching moment unfolded when Punk took the time to console Rhea Ripley. It seemed Ripley was grappling with pre-match jitters before her bout against Liv Morgan.

In simpler terms, CM Punk inquired about Rhea Ripley’s state, to which she responded, “I’m hot, sweaty, and anxious.” He then offered comfort, saying, “All that will disappear once you step out. To become a star.” After the release of their backstage video, Ripley reacted by posting a fist bump emoji on social media platform X.

A touching instance featuring CM Punk and Rhea Ripley is trending on X, as spectators applaud Punk’s encouragement towards Ripley. (In this case, “heartwarming moment” is paraphrased to a “touching instance,” “gone viral” is replaced with “trending,” and “fans praising” is changed to “spectators applaud.”)
