WWE Superstar Bronson Reed recently opened up about his relationship with a young Rhea Ripley.

He disclosed that his compatriot was a fan of his when she was a teenager. She attended wrestling shows to watch him compete. Meanwhile, he witnessed her wrestling career kick off.

"[I heard you talking about Rhea Ripley being a big fan of yours and she came in visited you in multiple occasions when you were wrestling. Tell me more about that.] Well, we both started both from the same town Adelaide, South Australia. I started wrestling a little while before her. And when she was a teenager, she used to come watch me as a fan, funnily enough, and then I was able to actually watch her start her career, start training, and go all the way through to what she is now today. So, it's pretty cool," he said. [1:20 - 1:51]
