While working in this industry for more than a decade, Rhea Ripley hasn’t been more popular than at the moment. The fans love her; the management loves her, and it seems like even her co-workers love her. Her popularity skyrocketed in the past few years because of her affiliation with The Judgement Day and her Mami gimmick.
In addition to being a monster in the ring and towering over most of her competition and even male wrestlers, she comes out as a dominating figure. This has resulted in many fans taking a liking to her. Something that even her co-worker, Cathy Kelly, found endearing and pursued the Aussie champion, but to no avail.

But that isn’t the entire story about the backstage interviewer who was hired back by Triple H after being kicked out during the pandemic firings. Fans have taken to making edits of Ripley with the ring announcer, Samantha Irvin. Along with making these edits, fans are also tagging Kelly in these posts so that she sees them.
This hurts her more as Kelly updated her Twitter bio as Rhea’s ex, so it hurts more to see Ripley with other women, even if it’s only fan edits. She talked about this on her Instagram story, asking fans to stop and let her enjoy the vacation she’s on right now. These fan edits weren’t plucked out of nowhere though, as a video of Ripley flirting with Irvin went viral on Twitter just weeks ago.
But who would’ve guessed that Finn Balor’s ex and Ricochet’s current fiancee would be in a love triangle with Ripley? Just look at some instances of Kelly trying her shot with Ripley below.

Cathy Kelly’s attempts to get with Rhea Ripley
Just at the start of the year, Kelly had two words for everyone when Ripley won the Royal Rumble. She mentioned that Ripley’s victory meant that Mami was soon going to be Mania, and she wasn’t lying as Ripley went on to give one of her best performances at this year’s WrestleMania in April.
But another attempt to get Ripley was when Kelly wrote that she wanted to be bench pressed by Mami. Or the time when Kelly and Ripley had a photoshoot and Kelly captioned the photos, writing, Mother’s Day came early.
