History Wrestling / RheaRipley

* AHeroToHisHometown: Her character since joining The Judgment Day is unquestionably a villainous one, but upon performing in her home country of Australia for 2024's ''Elimination Chamber'' event, she was met with the biggest ovation of the night.

!! "This is my Brutality! I eat, sleep, bleed
The tropes in your dreams
I eat, sleep, bleed''

!! "This is my Tropes Brutality!"

* SheCleansUpNicely: Not that isn't gorgeous regularly, but any appearance she makes at formal events becomes this very easily, due to how amazingly well the tomboyish Ripley can rock an evening gown.

** Wrestling/LivMorgan just could ''not'' let go of Rhea's betrayal of her, and was a thorn in Rhea's side for months. While Rhea was largely dismissive of her efforts as little more than an annoyance, Liv's backstage attack on Rhea at the ''Raw'' following ''Wrestling/WrestleMania XL'', which saw Liv injuring Rhea's arm severely enough that she was ''forced to vacate her title'', firmly put her at the top of Mami's hit list.

She is the inaugural ''[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT UK]]'' Women's Champion as well as a former NXT Women's Champion, a former WWE Women's Champion (formerly the RAW Women's Championship), a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion[[note]]with [[Wrestling/NikkiCross Nikki A.S.H.]][[/note]], and the current WWE Women's World Champion (formerly the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship), making her the only person to have held all five titles, as well as the first female Australian champion in WWE history.

Demi Bennett (born 11 October 1996) is an UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}n {{professional wrestl|ing}}er currently signed to Wrestling/{{WWE}}, where she performs on the ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' brand under the ring name Rhea Ripley. She was also the inaugural ''[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT UK]]'' Women's Champion as well as a former NXT Women's Champion, a former WWE Women's Champion (formerly the RAW Women's Championship), a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion[[note]]with [[Wrestling/NikkiCross Nikki A.S.H.]][[/note]], and the current WWE Women's World Champion (formerly the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship), making her the only person to have held all five titles, as well as the first female Australian champion in WWE history.

Ripley cites watching Wrestling/TheMiz as an inspiration growing up. In addition to wrestling, Ripley is also trained in or practices swimming, karate, rugby, netball and soccer.

** She then dyed her hair black after joining Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay, cementing her FaceHeelTurn.
*** Interestingly, she's been growing her hair out since joining the Judgment Day, which has helped to distance her from her previous character while also emphasising her current "I do what I want" attitude as Mami Rhea.

* {{Adorkable}}: She's a massive comic book and anime geek, and seeing her gush over her favourite shows is just about the most endearing thing ever.

** Her later feud with Wrestling/NiaJax is a straighter example, although given Rhea's skyrocketing popularity and Nia's equally-high levels of XPacHeat, she's treated more as the Face of the conflict.

** She's often been compared to both Wrestling/{{Chyna}} and Wrestling/BethPhoenix, both in terms of her harder-edged, masculine style and her willingness to throw down with male wrestlers on the roster (and in the case of Chyna, her very hard-edged, almost dominatrix-like presentation). She's openly stated that both women were a massive influence on her and it's hard to deny that she's definitely pulled inspiration from both with her characterisation over the years.

* GlamazonianBeauty: Although a less-conventional "darker" definition of the term, there's no denying that her general attractiveness and undeniable strength qualifies her as such.

* BigShutUp: [[https://youtu.be/QwmaFjzPHhY?t=91 While calling out Damian Priest]] on an episode of ''Raw'' for not pulling his weight, the crowd began cheering after she mentioned his loss to Trick Williams for the North American title. She quickly turned towards the audience and growled "SHUT UP!", which, amazingly, actually caused them to settle down.

* AFatherToHisMen: Downplayed, but as the de facto leader of The Judgment Day during Finn Balor's absence, she definitely shows genuine support to her stablemates, looking out for their safety (such as sincerely imploring Priest to not attempt a Money in the Bank cash-in due to a nagging injury), wearing Dominik's name on her ring attire and protecting him from male wrestlers, and occasionally wearing one of Priest's character-themed t-shirts to the ring as a show of solidarity.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She is visibly bigger, and a ''hell'' of a lot tougher, than her current kayfabe boyfriend, Wrestling/DominikMysterio, to the point where ''he'' often hides behind ''her'' for protection (which also emphasises Dom's own [[DirtyCoward general cowardice]] when it comes to opponents who can kick his ass without a whole lot of effort).

** Her victory at the 2023 Wrestling/RoyalRumble saw her become the first woman to win the Rumble from the much-maligned number one entry slot. She also set the record for longest time spent in a women's Royal Rumble, lasting an astounding one hour and one minute[[note]]Wrestling/LivMorgan, who was the number two entrant and the last woman Rhea beat to win the match, came up short by a mere ''one second''[[/note]]. The record would be eclipsed by Bayley the next year at 1:03:03 though, but still Rhea was the first to do it.

* LargeAndInCharge: When she led her team during the 2019 ''[=WarGames=]'' and ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'' events, she visibly towered over her teammates.
