Going into WrestleMania 40, Rhea Ripley was looking to keep her year-plus title reign going. She faced Becky Lynch, who won the Elimination Chamber. It was a great match, with some hard-hitting spots. In the end, Ripley kept the gold within The Judgement Day. Although, there might have been concern on how, or even if, the match might happen.
See, the champion underwent a 2 hour panic attack before the major match. The bout still occurred and it went very well. WWE wrestler turned producer, Jason Jordan, helped Ripley get through her struggles. She thanked him with a tweet that read, “He’s the Best! ✨.”
Why Jason Jordan No Longer Wrestles
For those unaware, Jordan and Chad Gable were part of American Alpha in NXT and the main roster briefly. He underwent neck surgery in 2018 and was never cleared to return. Instead, he is the lead producer for RAW and SmackDown. His final on-screen angle was portraying Kurt Angle’s son. The storyline never finished due to injury and nobody ever liked it from the start.

In the end, we a got a match were Rhea cleanly won. Her title reign has not been awesome like many hoped, but she makes for a worthy champion. As see on RAW, Liv Morgan inserted herself into the next angle with Rhea. To gain her attention, Liv hurled a chair at Ripley’s head. They could meet at the next pay per view. Remember, Rhea took Liv out for many months last year. So, the panic attack from Rhea Ripley shortly before her WrestleMania 40 match with Becky Lynch was thankfully saved by Jason Jordan.
