Australian WWE superstar Rhea Ripley won her homecoming and got emotional as she took it all in.
The Adelaide-born Ripley had too much gusto for Nia Jax in the main event of Elimination Chamber in Perth on Saturday night.
"It's hard to put into words just how special this is, to be honest. I'm still taken aback by the crowd reaction, actually seeing my family out there and, to be completely honest, at the very end when I had that extra time to myself I let it fully soak in," Ripley said.

"It's funny because I had a weird flashback of my last match here in Australia ... I remember sitting in the middle of the ring and just soaking it all in and soaking up the crowd and just letting them in and letting them affect me in a way that I don't really try and let them affect me.
"I did the same thing tonight without even meaning to and it just gave me that flashback. It was a real wholesome moment for me. It really was."

Ripley also tried to smash Jax through the announcer's table, but Jax countered by delivering a leg drop through the table.
"I hate getting teary on camera," Ripley said.
"I guess you have to see every single side of me."
