Rhea Ripley goes off on fan criticizing her look (via WWE)
Rhea Ripley has been one of the fastest-growing female superstars ever in WWE. At just 28 years of age, she is already one of, if not the most popular faces in the women’s division. Over the years, she has tremendously improved both in the ring and on the microphone. Furthermore, she has had an incredible shift in her physical appearance to go along with it.
A social media account recently posted side-by-side photos to compare how Rhea Ripley had transformed over the years. The left photo featured Ripley in her blonde haircut without much makeup. Meanwhile, the other photo featured the Eradicator in black hair, her gothic makeup, tattoos, and new black ring attire. Upon seeing these photos, a fan claimed that she looked much better earlier and hated herself now.
Ripley shot back brutally at the fan upon seeing this response. She revealed how she hated the way she looked before and is still not a huge fan of her old look. The Raw superstar stated that she was much happier with who she was now and then proceeded to hurl insults at the social media user.
Actually I LOVE myself a lot more now…

I HATED and still HATE how I looked in the first pic. So please, and not so kindly… Go fuck yourself! Project your toxic “masculinity” and straight up insecurities elsewhere 😘 https://t.co/EfCReab0D8
This change in gimmick and eventually joining The Judgment Day also led to a lot of success for the Australian superstar. She has made it to covers of PLE posters and video games, alongside being a perennial main eventer. Ripley also shared the stage with some huge superstars, including The Undertaker, who came out to celebrate with her following her Women’s World Championship victory on the inaugural episode of Raw on Netflix.
Vince Russo criticizes Rhea Ripley’s booking against Liv Morgan on WWE
Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan was one of the biggest feuds of 2024. These superstars faced off multiple times in various stipulations at several different PLEs. The rivalry even became severely personal with Dominik Mysterio‘s involvement. While this feud was over with the live crowds, Vince Russo seemed to have an issue with the way the matches were booked.
Speaking on Writing with Russo, the wrestling veteran said that Liv Morgan had done phenomenal character work throughout her reign, which helped carry the Raw women’s division after Ripley’s injury. However, he said that these two competitors should not come off as equals while in the ring.
Russo argued that they should not be going 50/50 during their matches, and the promotion should not make it seem like the decision could have gone either way. The Aussie is a much bigger physical presence in the ring. Thus, he believed that she should have dominated Morgan during their match on the first episode of Raw on Netflix, where Ripley won the title.
