Speaking on Stephanie's Places, Rhea claimed she cried before her Mae Young Classic bout. Ripley noted that she felt terrible and started doubting herself. The Aussie added that she wanted to return to her country.

"The first Mae Young Classic, I cried before my match. I was terrified. I just felt like I wasn't doing things to the best of my abilities, and it made people start to doubt me again, continuously getting the criticism and little comments here and there. I felt, like, I started doubting myself. I wanted to go back to Australia. I wanted to throw my dream away," she said.
