Rhea Ripley, a prominent name in WWE, recently made headlines with her continued success. She is a two-time holder of the WWE Women’s Championship. Ripley won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match in February 2023 to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 39, where she captured the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Ripley’s journey in wrestling began on the independent scene in Australia. She has since become a champion across every brand she has competed in within WWE. Notably, she won the NXT UK Women’s Championship Tournament, becoming the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion.
In addition to her championship accolades, Ripley is a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion in WWE. She has also made her mark by finishing runner-up in the 2021 Royal Rumble Match and winning the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in 2023.
Ripley’s popularity extends beyond the ring. She holds the largest Instagram following of any full-time woman on the WWE roster. Her influence is evident as she joined The Judgment Day faction, further cementing her status.
On January 6, 2025, she regained the Women’s World Title after an intense competition. However, she relinquished her title on January 15 due to injuries sustained during matches.
Ripley has shared insights about her approach to wrestling. “I feel we’ve gotten to a point within this industry where it is about working together,” she stated recently. Her commitment to helping others is clear when she says, “I’m always there to try and help the person I’m in the ring with.”
But success comes with challenges. Ripley remarked on competition within WWE, saying, “If you make your opponent look like a piece of shit and you lose to them, you lost to a piece of shit.” This perspective highlights her competitive nature.
The upcoming WrestleMania event promises to be intriguing for Ripley. “It’ll be very intriguing to see how WrestleMania pans out. We’re two different dogs in this fight,” she noted. Fans are eager to see how her story unfolds.
As Ripley continues to break barriers in women’s wrestling, her legacy grows stronger with each match. Details remain unconfirmed regarding future title opportunities or matches.
