Rhea Ripley Reveals She’s “Blocked” Lots of Australians for Doubting Her Passion

Despite being the most formidable heel in the company, fans could agree that Rhea Ripley has become synonymous with WWE in just a short time. Whether it is in her in-ring skills or her demeanor, everyone could agree that she is the complete package. However, she does not belong to a wrestling family and is a first-generation star. This makes her journey something that fans could look up to.

However, there have always been people who would want to pull one down if they want to try to achieve something and Ripley is not a stranger to those people. But she has a very special way of dealing with those kinds of people.

Rhea Ripley and her block list

On the latest episode of WWE’s The Bump, The Eradicator was asked whether people from her hometown had asked her for tickets to the Elimination Chamber. To this, she replied, “I don’t know whether they have asked for tickets because I have blocked a whole bunch of them.” Well, she has not blocked the entire continent on her social media. She has blocked a select few and further explained why has she done so.

The 26-year-old star then added, “There were people who had doubted me through the whole thing. I had school teachers laugh at my face when I wanted to do projects on WWE and wrestling in general I had people judge me for wanting to try out for Riot City Wrestling (indie circuit in Australia.)” She also mentioned that they told her to study and “find a real job” instead of pursuing pro wrestling.

However, in the end, she had one question for all of her haters. Ripley said, “One thing I have to say is where are you guys? Like honestly. I am living my dream, I’ve worked hard for this dream and they are miserable in their crappy life, so sue me.”
