Rhea Ripley on NXT (WWE)
Rhea Ripley takes a moment to appreciate her own body transformation over the years
A wrestling fan on Twitter posted a photo showcasing the various personas and body transformations that Rhea Ripley has gone through over the years.
The photo includes photos of Ripley through the various stages of her wrestling career. It features Ripley during her time in the independent wrestling circuit back in Australia, to her gradual progression on WWE NXT.
As you can see in the tweet above, Ripley has changed remarkably over the years. She has definitely preferred the ’emo’ look in recent years, with her most recent one featuring black lip colour as well as spikes on her attire.
The tweet largely got a positive response from the fans. They appreciated the transformation she has gone through over the years and acknowledged the muscle she has put on during her time at WWE.
However, the tweet did have some negative response as well; as you would expect from trolls. Ripley did not take kindly to it and had some harsh words for the people judging how she looks.
She says that the photo reminds her of the strength she has required at various stages of her life. Ripley also asked the society to understand that not everyone grows under the same circumstances.
She then added that she has stopped caring about what people think about her, and that her fans should also be themselves, instead of caring about what others think.
Ripley is absolutely right in saying that society’s opinions should not dictate lives. Wrestlers work in a profession where their appearances are subject to scrutiny from shallow fans.
It is, thus, important for them to maintain a positive outlook towards themselves if they do find themselves at the end of hate; just like Ripley, or Chris Jericho did.
