One of Rhea Ripley‘s most recent achievements includes winning the SmackDown’s Women’s title from Charlotte Flair. The Eradicator beat her opponent in the WrestleMania match, bagging the win. Ripley is also looking to make her name beyond the wrestling arena as well. In a recent podcast, she revealed her aspiration to be a Hollywood star. Although the mention of her desire is not just as simple as it may sound.

In the podcast, Ripley also revealed how she once got an offer for a movie project. Although she did not discuss the movie further but detailed that she turned down the offer due to reasons that some fans may find wholesome.

Mami recently appeared on ‘The Ringer Wrestling Show’ to have a chat about herself. About halfway into the podcast, the host asked Ripley whether ‘movie acting’ is on her to-do list or not. Ripley gave a rather interesting reply to the question. The female wrestler acknowledged his question while revealing, “I feel like if I were to do a movie, it would have to be an action or a horror. I don’t think I could do anything else, but I’ve definitely thought about it.

After glimpsing at how her future could turn out in Hollywood, she also discussed that she had to turn down a movie offer because she had prior commitments when the movie was scheduled to film. “I would never be home and I would never get to see my dogs,” added the female SmackDown champion.

To see an evil WWE heel prioritizing her furry friends over a movie project could be wholesome for her fans.

Over time, several WWE fans have seen their favorite athletes appear in Hollywood projects. So, Ripley appearing in at least one of them wouldn’t be a shocking sight.

WWE legend’s advice could prove useful to Rhea Ripley

Former WWE star Batista has also taken up several Hollywood projects during his career. When Dave was trying to establish a career in the American film industry, Steve Austin pulled him to the side to give him useful beginner’s advice. “You’re going to get offers for horrible scripts. The money will be tempting. Don’t get caught in that trap,” Austin said to Batista.

Although Austin’s advice was for Batista, it could be applied to anyone wanting to get into the film industry. The Eradicator could find it especially useful since she is looking forward to starting a career in Hollywood someday.
