While WWE has had a lot of women’s main events at WrestleMania and other premium live events, there are still only a few women who are top stars. But Triple H is trying to make up for it by making Rhea Ripley take front and center stage and show her skills to the world.

While her climb to the top is not only due to The Boss, but her abilities as a great wrestler, both in and out of the ring. In the ring, no one can match the physique or tenacity of Ripley. She is a beast in the ring and pummels anyone who stands in her way, the same thing that she aims to do to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.

But out of the ring, Ripley doesn’t shy away from showing her physique and the work that she puts in to maintain it. While there are many who appreciate it, no one expected this WWE employee and Finn Balor‘s ex, Cathy Kelley, to reply as well.

Rhea Ripley recently posted a picture of her biceps to show off her recent workout. Her fans adored the photo and replied with heartwarming replies, but then Raw’s backstage interviewer, Cathy Kelley, commented, “bench press me pls 😍“. Even Ripley must have taken another look at the comment when she saw who it was from. Other than her, former WWE wrestlers, Buddy Mathews, and CJ Perry also commented.

Kelley and Balor had a relationship back in Balor’s NXT days before he tied the knot with Vero Rodriguez. Kelley was with NXT for 5 years, from 2016 to 2020. But she is back acting as the backstage interviewer. Balor and Kelley now work under the same brand, so there might have been some awkward moments backstage as well.
