Rhea Ripley shares unrecognizable throwback photo

WWE star Rhea Ripley shared an unrecognizable throwback photo on social media today. Ripley is currently in an alliance with IYO SKY on WWE RAW.

Popular Twitch streamer and independent wrestler KingKreas (Gabriel Aeros) shared a throwback photo today of the 29-year-old from almost a decade ago. The photo of Ripley was taken well before she signed with WWE, and The Eradicator reacted to the image. The former champion noted that they have both come a long way since then, and you can check out the photo below.

"We’ve come a long way!" wrote Ripley.

Ripley is a member of the RAW roster but recently made an appearance on SmackDown to reunite with her former Judgment Day stablemate. The Terror Twins (Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley) defeated Aleister Black and Zelina in a mixed tag team match earlier this month on SmackDown. Damian Priest is scheduled to battle Aleister Black in an Ambulance Match this Friday night on the blue brand.

WWE Hall of Famer wants Rhea Ripley to be her final opponent

Nikki Bella recently disclosed that she wanted to battle Rhea Ripley in her retirement match down the line.

Speaking on Outspoken, the veteran named Ripley as the star she would like to have her final wrestling match against. Stephanie Vaquer defeated Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez in a Triple Threat match to retain the Women's World Championship this past Monday night on WWE RAW.

"I get to pick. I would wanna be in my greatest heel moment, a top heel with probably a faction behind me. Unstoppable, and I think I would want it to be Rhea Ripley. Powerhouse. They were in Glendale last monday, and my brother's daughter has become a huge fan. So she went to the merch stand, she watched the show and they wanted to get some merch after, and she didn't want to buy my hat. She's like, 'Well, Auntie Coco can just send me a hat. I want a Ripley shirt.' And then sent me a photo in a Rhea shirt. I was like, 'Huh, how dare her?'"

The Kabuki Warriors will be defending the Women's Tag Team Championships against IYO SKY and Ripley on the January 5, 2026, episode of RAW.
