Jackie Redmond interviewed Rhea Ripley earlier this week.
Rhea says it is strange to come back. She says she feels at peace but it is a strong feeling. She says Elimination Chamber was the first time she wrestled in Australia in 7 years. It is good to be part of WWE since they do not come to Australia that often.
Jackie asks Rhea if she thinks about young Rhea Ripley and her path to WWE.
Rhea says she wanted to train and wrestle in Australia. She wanted to make everyone proud. If she could go back and tell herself that she would make it, she wouldn't believe it.
Jackie asks about Kairi and Asuka.
Rhea says she has been someone fueled by rage and anger. Some times it works and some times it doesn't. This time it will work out for her and Iyo. She has the crowd supporting her and they have her back. Rhea says she will have Iyo's back and they will show the Kabukis who they are.
Rhea says it will feel amazing if they win. It is something that Iyo needs. She needs the feeling of getting payback and feeling accomplished. Rhea says he is excited for what Australia is going to bring.

Grayson Waller interrupts the discussion.
He says Rhea will kill it tonight. Bronson Reed will knock Roman's head off with a cricket bat, but Waller says he runs Australian wrestling.
Waller says hello to Peter and Jackie, but not Big E. Waller mentions Cena and Styles. Waller mentions a text from Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. He says the New Day are such good mates and follow up with him. Waller says he is not officially in the New Day but it is great to have veterans look out for him, unlike CM Punk. Waller asks for a moment of silence for the Tag Team Division and the New Day.
Waller says since he isn't wrestling tonight, he drinks from a shoe and then he leaves.
Cathy is with Paul Levesque.
He mentions how long it takes to get to Australia from the US to start things off. He mentions the fan reaction last night on Smackdown. He says Perth will be a challenger for best crowd. Hunter talks about the tag match. Paul talks about how devastated Reed was last year to miss the show because of injury, but Paul says he told him not to worry and he has a chance to prove it tonight.
He is asked about the Crown Jewel Titles. He says that when the challenge is put out for a champion versus champion match to determine the best of the best. To be able to carry that massive ring, it is an incredible night. Paul wonders what happens if Cody goes 4-0 against Seth.
We take a look at the WWE international influence in 2025.
Jackie mentions the European tour in January, including TV.
Jackie Redmond interviewed Bronson Reed, with Paul Heyman earlier this week.
She asks Paul what made Bronson an ideal addition to the group. Paul says you should ask Seth Rollins. Seth was stretchered out thanks to Bronson Reed. Reed beat the respect into him and would rather have him on his side than against him. Ask Roman Reigns. He was never stretchered out and taken to a hospital before.
Jackie asks about the shoes.
Reed says the reason is simple. It is because he can take his shoes. If you couldn't handle your business, people take things from you. People consider Roman the face of this company and it didn't matter about wins or loses, but who was standing at the end of the match. Bron and he have done what no one else has been able to do to Roman.
Reed says the result will be different because he is home.
Paul says Reed will get the win. Every time Roman stands up to Reed, he will be going down.
Jackie asks about the stipulation for the match and how Roman is happy with it.
Reed says he grew up in the streets of Australia and did this for fun. If Roman wants to accept this match, he has another thing coming.
Reed says he does not care what the people think about, but this might be the only place the people will appreciate Ozilla.
Jackie asks about Seth's match and it's impact on WWE.
Paul says when you are on the mountaintop, everyone wants to throw you off.
Paul asks Reed if he is going to win or lose and what is he going to do to Roman.
We have a video package for John Cena and AJ Styles.
We see AJ Styles' announcement about his impending retirement in 2026.
Cathy is with AJ Styles. She asks how will he feel facing Cena one more time.
AJ says it is a tough question. He will be emotional and ready to face Cena. It is the last time it is going to happen and it is going to be special. AJ says he is going to beat up John Cena.
We have a video package for Seth and Cody.
