The fan commented that he saw “three dudes” in the picture rather than Ripley as a female.

This was obviously a target at her built and physique. First receiving the fire of another person, Ripley took it on completely.

The first person claimed that the comment was like cyber-bullying and was completely uncalled for. It even asked the person to take gym lessons to know what a fit body looked like.

Ripley didn’t take the joke well in any way. She also termed the comment as “pure ignorance” and blasted the person on twitter.

Rhea Ripley has had a very successful rise in WWE so far. She started off in NXT and gradually built her way up to competing with the like of Charlotte Flair. 

Her superior physique and muscle power give her an edge over most women’s wrestlers and she seems to dominate most of the time.

Rhea Ripley has faced a lot of comments comparing her to a guy in the past and this time she caught a whiff of it.
