00:00Guys, I am here with Rhea Ripley. And Rhea, you have a lot on your plate tonight.

00:05The main event, the Women's World Championship on the line against Io Sky, a competitor that you've never beaten in singles competition.

00:12We've talked about that before and the mental hurdles that go into something like that.

00:16So why is tonight a must win for you?

00:19I mean, you said it there. I've never defeated Io Sky.

00:22This has been going on since the second Mae Young Classic. That was years ago.

00:26And she's always been that one step in front of me.

00:30But that's the past at the end of the day. That is the past for me.

00:34I have to go into this match knowing that she's going to want to capitalize on me letting my anger get the best of me.

00:42Where this time, this match is built on respect.

00:45So hopefully for my sake, I can keep my anger under wraps.

00:50But I'm going in there with a different kind of mindset that I normally have.

00:55Well, you can tell that there's a lot of respect between you two.

00:57And I'm sure you have a lot to prepare for before tonight.

01:00So I'm going to let you go.

01:01But thank you so much.

01:03And I'm going to send it back out to the panel.

01:05You know, for the past couple of weeks, we've talked ad nauseum about the record.

01:09The fact that Rhea Ripley has never defeated Io Sky in a matchup.

01:14And I want to start with Big E because, E, I want to know how important this is.

01:20Is it in Rhea's head?

01:21Head to Io Theater.
