Today at 10:27 PM

During a recent appearance on the “Jazzy's World” podcast, Rhea Ripley shared that one of her biggest pet peeves is hearing people grunt loudly while working out at the gym.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On her biggest pet peeve in the gym: "I've definitely said this before because I am such a gym person and I love going to the gym. My biggest pet peeve is people at the gym that grunt really loudly to make sure people see them because I'm like, I'm watching them and I'm like, that weight isn't even that heavy."

On not liking people being loud in the gym: "Why are you making so much sound for, dude? Like, I could go over there and do that weight and I would not break a sweat, my dude. Like, I know you're not struggling. You're just trying to get people's attention."

During a recent appearance on the “Insight” podcast, WWE Superstar Grayson Waller discussed his time in WWE, disrespecting Triple H after winning the WWE Tag Team Championships, facing Edge at Madison Square Garden, his ideal guest for The Grayson Waller Effect, and other topics.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On disrespecting Triple H and having a problem with Authority: "I think I have a problem with authority. Maybe I don't like DX in my former life. I don't know, but there's just something so fun about such a serious moment and not taking it seriously. I think everyone's just so respectful these days, it kind of makes me sick in a way. I think people are too respectful, especially of legends and people in the game who've done a lot of great things. Yeah, that's awesome but this is my time now. I'm not going to sit here and [say] 'Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity.' Especially on TV."

On wrestling Edge at Madison Square Garden: "The weird thing is, and I've talked about it before, I was coming off breaking my leg against Melo. I got cleared maybe two weeks before, but we were in London for a bit, and then we did something else, I'd had maybe an hour in the ring. So I've been cleared, I had one hour. Then I was going to do the talk show with Edge, and all of a sudden, I find out the night before that I'm wrestling him. That's stressful because I don't even know if I can wrestle, I haven't really done anything on my leg. That's the first time I've really felt the pressure and felt nervous, and usually I don't. But then I watched a bunch of clips of McGregor in MSG fighting Eddie Alvarez, watched all the videos for the entrance, and just his vibe. I watched the fight three times, and all of a sudden I was feeling myself. I was like what are you going to do? Not do it. And then from that moment, I felt completely comfortable. The match went great, and I came backstage and I could barely walk. My leg wasn't as good as it needed to be, but I got through it and now I'm very glad that I went in with that type of energy. To get in there with Edge who is one of the best of all time, and to do it in that kind of venue is very cool."

On being put over by Edge (aka Adam Copeland) after the bell: "That's not something he has to do. As much as I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to kiss a*s of the legends, my way of saying thank you to them is saying really horrible things and going at them. I want to be on your level. I feel that's the biggest respect I can give you is coming at you like everyone else, I don't want to sit back. But little things like that, at the time, it didn't mean as much as it does now. Now I look back and go that was pretty cool."

On his dream guest for The Waller Effect: "If I had to put this list two years ago when I first got The Grayson Waller Effect, it's Cena, Cody, Shawn, Logan, the Mount Rushmore basically, that would be great. I've always said the dream guest is Trish Stratus. I've been saying it multiple times, and unfortunately, hasn't happened yet. I'm going to keep saying it. Trish, come on, please be on my show. Let me give you the Grayson Waller rub. I just really respect her as a performer, and I've always liked her for so long. So that's always my answer, and until it happens I can't really give another answer. There's so many legends. I feel like the legends are really coming backstage a lot more now recently. I don't know if it was different in the past, but every pay-per-view, there's just all the guys and girls from the past there. They're super excited. So hopefully I can get some of them involved as well."

Grayson Waller on being paired with Austin Theory: "I think we're just two incredibly good-looking, humble dudes, and they're like, this is gonna work. But me and Theory, we met each other a few times before I got called up, but we just got along really well straight away."

On he and Theory having similar mindsets: "We have similar mindsets when it comes to the business too. So we did a few little things together, and I was just like we're both here to be great, and we're not going to let anyone get in our way, and we're going to work hard for it too … so we have similar mindsets and it just kind of worked. I don't think it was a long-term plan, but it's one of those things that just worked so well that it stuck."

On wanting to work with Punk: "There's one guy that I think I'd make magic with and that's CM Punk. I think the way CM Punk does his business, the way he talks, I'd have so much fun with that. I can just feel it. Even the small interactions that we've had — I threw a little bit of trash talk at him before he got here just in case he ever did and now that he's here, I feel like me and Punk would have a lot of fun."

On why he thinks they'd work well together: "Sometimes that's where the biggest heat lies is when you're too similar. I think me and Punk definitely have our similarities. He's a guy I'd definitely like to stand across from, especially on the mic, he's almost untouched the way he carries himself and how confident he is. He doesn't care. Whether he's good or bad, he doesn't care what people think, he's gonna say what he thinks and I love that energy. I love that he has that energy but I wanna give that back to him. I want to see how he feels when someone does what he does to people to him. That's how I felt with Shawn a little bit. It's like, 'Shawn, remember what you used to be like? How's it feel, now you're feeling what it's like to have you coming at you.' I feel that with Punk. Punk's ruling it right now but I want to be CM Punk from 15 years ago coming at him and see how he reacts and feels about that."
