Rhea Ripley, aka Demi Bennett, is an Australian professional wrestler who is currently signed with the WWE. She joined WWE when she was 20 years old in the 2017-2018 Mae Young Classic. However, just after the first round, we saw a notable character change, as she returned for the 2018 tournament with a shaved head and black gear. She was then moved to the NXT UK Women’s division, where she became the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion by defeating Toni Storm.
Rhea quickly became one of the top NXT stars and led the first-ever women’s WarGames match. She also dethroned Shayna Baszler in December 2019 to win the NXT Women’s Championship; however, after winning the title, she went on to challenge Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36, where she ultimately lost the title. This loss became one of the lowest points in her career, as everybody thought that Rhea was going to be on the main roster, but after this loss, she was sent back to NXT for a year of rebuilding.
Rhea was officially called up to the main roster in 2021, where she quickly established herself and defeated Asuka at WrestleMania 37 for the Raw Women’s Champion. She was then placed in a mid-card tag team with Nikki A.S.H.; however, Rhea then joined the new faction of Edge and Damian Priest. This faction became one of the highest points in her career, as during this run, she adopted her iconic “Mami” persona, which, to this day, is still one of the most famous characters in the entire WWE. She also won the 2023 Royal Rumble, where she lasted over an hour from the number 1 position.
One of the biggest lows of her career happened just when she was at her peak. During a backstage segment, Rhea was injured by Liv Morgan, which forced her to relinquish her championship after a 380-day reign. As of 2025, she is in the tag team division with her partner, Iyo Sky. Their tag team is called “RHIYO”, and after months of being involved in the feud with the Kabuki Warriors, they defeated them on January 5, 2026, to become the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
