Rhea Ripley talks about the spike in her name.
Rhea Ripley has become one of WWE's most known stars over the past couple of years, with major matches and crossover appearances in the mainstream in several different ways, including appearing in Call Of Duty to name one.
While speaking to the Wide World Of Sports, Rhea Ripley spoke about her rise in popularity, admitting that it's started getting a bit hectic.
"It's started getting a little bit more hectic, when we went over to Netflix, that was a massive influx of fans - they were intrigued and a lot more people had eyes on the product. Also when TikTok started blowing up, I didn't even have TikTok and somehow, I was trending repetitively and I had people come up to me at the shops and be like 'oh my god, you're the girl from TikTok' and I'd be like, am I? There's been such a spike in the name Rhea Ripley. There's always pressure coming home, because I want to do well, if you're not nervous or don't feel stressed out by what you do, then you don't love it. The fact that I get to come home and do the one thing that I love and have worked so hard to achieve, it's awesome. Whether or not I'm main eventing, I just hope there's so much Australian representation on it. Just having something in Australia just makes me so bloody proud. We don't know where things are gonna lead … but I think it's gonna be absolutely incredible."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Ripley talked about the injuries she sustained in 2024. You can read more about them here.
