Rhea Ripley has been making waves in the WWE world for some time now. Her popularity skyrocketed after she turned heel and changed her gimmick a few years ago. With The Judgment Day on her side, she is an intimidating presence in the squared circle.

Of late, Ripley has shown that her influence goes beyond the realm of WWE. Her recent online interaction with a fellow female wrestler is gaining a lot of attention. It seems like Mami put away her in-ring persona to help a sister out.

Jordynne Grace, former Impact Knockouts Champion, hopped on Twitter to share her sister’s reaction when she got to know that Ripley follows Grace on Twitter. Ripley saw the tweet and replied back saying, “Love this”. Soon after, Grace uploaded another video. This video showed her sister freaking out over Ripley noticing Grace’s original tweet.

In the video, Grace’s sister says, “Rhea Ripley from WWE? She replied to Tricia’s tweet of me talking about her. She fu**ing replied, she said, love this.” This tweet got a lot of traction from fans as it was adorable seeing the little sister get excited about Ripley’s succinct response.

But one thing was clear from this interaction. Ripley has quickly become one of the biggest stars in the WWE. Her fan demographic is diverse. While hardcore fans love watching her in classic matches, younger audiences also love Ripley. Grace’s sister, who doesn’t follow wrestling, admitted to only knowing John Cena and Ripley from WWE.

Ripley went through a remarkable transformation to get to where she is now, and it seems like she made the right call.

Joining The Judgement Day and Triple H’s ascension in WWE were two of the big factors in Ripley’s success in the WWE. While she may not have broken through to the mainstream, Ripley’s fanbase is ever-increasing. Her dominating and charismatic wrestling persona has gotten her acclaim, even on a website she didn’t like signing up for.

Although Triple H’s support is an important factor, Ripley’s ecstatic personality, even in her NXT days, is why she is so memorable. Despite her achievements inside the ring, there’s still room for growth. In WWE, Ripley still has ways to go to reach the level of Trish Stratus or Charlotte Flair, and the future looks ever so bright for her.
