WrestleMania is the biggest wrestling event in the world. Therefore, many superstars have felt nervous while performing in front of a jam-packed crowd. A similar kind of thing happened when the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, revealed she suffered a panic attack before her match at WrestleMania XL. Later, Mami pointed out that it was Jason Jordan who helped calm her down. 

Rhea Ripley took to X and replied to the post that said how the producer assisted her through her panic attack. Mami wholeheartedly agreed with the statement, claiming that Jordan’s simply “the best.” The latter performed as a wrestler in the company from 2012 to 2018 before becoming a producer due to a career-threatening injury.

Ripley and Becky Lynch kicked off WrestleMania XL Night 1. Although The Man probably posed her toughest challenge, Mami ultimately retained her title with a devastating Riptide. Interestingly, she was one of the only two champions who successfully walked out of WrestleMania, with the other being United States Champion Logan Paul.

Mami’s WrestleMania celebrations were cut short, unfortunately, as Liv Morgan launched a vicious attack on her on Raw. Morgan continued her revenge tour as she vowed to take everything from her. It will be interesting to see what transpires on Raw, as Ripley is slated to appear and address the surprise attack orchestrated by her old adversary.

It wasn’t only Jason Jordan who came in support of The Eradicator. Mami’s arch-rival Charlotte Flair was present at WrestleMania too. The pair shared a wholesome moment backstage, which was captured by cameras.

Both superstars share a great history. Ripley and Flair first wrestled against each other at WrestleMania 36. Mami was the NXT Women’s Champion at that point, and The Queen defeated her to become the new champion. They met again at WrestleMania 39, this time with Ripley getting the better of Flair. Both of them tore the house down, as that match was widely regarded as one of the best matches of 2023. 

The 38-year-old veteran is out of action due to an ACL injury she suffered a few months before WrestleMania XL. However, despite a horrific injury, she often posts her recovery videos on social media, hinting at an early return. It will be interesting to see whether these two titans collide once again after her return or not.
