tvinsider.com did an interview with The Nightmare recently to talk about her journey. She was asked about WWE Draft, which is apparently her first-ever draft. 

Ripley said that she has always loved watching the draft as a fan and enjoyed it throughout. Next, she mentioned the new matchups that take place after the draft. Ripley is looking forward to seeing who goes where. Lastly, she said that there are a lot of women that she would like to wrestle with and is quite comfortable doing to any of the two brands.

“I’m pretty excited. I’ve always loved watching the draft as a fan. It’s always something I’ve enjoyed. You see so many new matchups, which is absolutely amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing who ends up where. I love a good challenge. There are a lot of people I haven’t wrestled in the women’s division over on SmackDown. So I’m comfortable if I go to SmackDown or vice versa.”

It will be exciting to see Ripley performing on Raw with several other stars.
