Rhea Ripley has seen her popularity skyrocket on TikTok, but she didn’t even want to join the app in the first place.
Speaking with Phil Strum on Under The Ring, Rhea Ripley spoke about how her TikTok account has taken off. Ripley said she had to get the app because WWE saw how popular she was, and it turns out that it was the right call.
“Social media is a very interesting place,” Ripley said. “There’s a lot of positivity, but there’s a lot of negativity. Obviously, my TikTok has been going absolutely wild, which is wild because I didn’t even want TikTok. Work made me get it because apparently, I was TikTok famous. So they made me get it, and I guess they were right because it skyrocketed, and now I’m the most followed superstar in WWE, which is wild.
“Apart from that, I don’t really go on social media too much anymore, just because there is so much negativity. I don’t read as much as I used to read. Obviously, I try and see all the fan art, and I try to see all the pictures of people doing my makeup because I like to see that stuff. I like to see lives that I’ve inspired, and the people that I’ve brought the confidence out of, in a way. But most of the time, I’ll just post something really cheeky and then just get off the app.”
