So, I was scrolling through my usual wrestling forums the other day, and I kept seeing this name pop up: Rhea Ripley. Now, I know her, she’s that powerhouse in WWE, right? World Champion and all that. But then, there was this other name being thrown around – Rikishi. And I thought, “Wait a minute, isn’t that the big guy who used to do that, um, ‘stinkface’ move?” Yeah, I think it was something like that.
Anyway, I started digging around because I was curious. I saw some people talking about Rhea using some of Rikishi’s moves. Interesting. But then, I stumbled upon something even more interesting. Apparently, there’s some connection between Rhea Ripley and Jey Uso, and they’ve been like, teaming up recently on RAW. And get this – Jey just won the Intercontinental Championship! I found out that after his win, Rikishi sent a message and Rhea Ripley responded. That’s kind of cool, right?
Then, things got even weirder. I found this podcast, “Off the Top,” I think it was called, where Rikishi was talking about his daughter-in-law, Naomi. Seems like everyone’s connected in the wrestling world! And guess what? I also discovered that Rhea Ripley is actually married to another wrestler, Buddy Matthews. They seem like a good couple, both being into the whole wrestling thing. I bet they understand the crazy schedules and all that.
Here’s where my head really started spinning. I dove into the whole wrestling families thing and realized that without the McMahon family, none of the other families would even be famous today! Like, this Jess McMahon guy was a wrestling promoter way back when, and he kinda started it all. It’s wild how things connect, you know?
Rhea Ripley’s Early Days
- She got into wrestling during a family holiday.
- Started her wrestling career in Australia in 2013 with Riot City Wrestling.
- Even as a teenager, she got an audition for WWE.
So, yeah, that was my little journey down the Rhea Ripley and Rikishi rabbit hole. It’s funny how one thing leads to another, and suddenly, you’re learning about wrestling history and family connections. The internet is a wild place, folks!
