“MAMI” Rhea Ripley is the “ultra-aggressive and terrifyingly strong” Aussie who is making waves in the world of women’s WWE.
The metalhead ring star recently shocked fans when she announced that she would be out of action for months after suffering a shoulder injury during a match.
Rhea Ripley, whose real name is Demi Bennett, hails from Adelaide, South Australia, and is known for her signature move called the “Riptide.”
Her journey to WWE stardom began in 2013 when she started competing with Riot City Wrestling in Australia. Despite facing setbacks early on in her career due to age restrictions, Ripley persevered and eventually signed with WWE in 2017.
Since then, Ripley has had a meteoric rise in the world of wrestling. She became the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion and went on to win a Royal Rumble match in 2023. Her popularity among fans has only continued to grow, with her amassing over 1 million followers on Twitter alone.
However, Ripley’s recent shoulder injury has forced her to vacate the WWE Women’s World Championship. The injury occurred during a match with Liv Morgan, who has been seeking revenge ever since.
Ripley confirmed her hiatus from the sport on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, stating that she will be out of action for “quite a few months.”
In the meantime, fans of the Aussie ring star eagerly await her return and continue to show their unwavering support for one of the most formidable women in WWE.
