The WWE superstar lifestyle is anything but easy. Professional wrestlers have to sacrifice a lot for their job. One major downside of being a WWE wrestler is that they are always on the road. Therefore, they get to spend very little time with their family.
That being said, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley (real name Demi Bennett) recently opened up about being away from her sister, Calista Bennet, and how it has taken a toll on both the Bennet sisters.
“It’s been hard growing up away,” says Rhea Ripley
