Rhea Ripley: It’s Important To Get Out Of My Shell, Represent People Who Don’t Fit The Norm

Rhea Ripley will join Bianca Belair on the cover of the Deluxe Edition of WWE 2K24, an accomplishment she’s happy to earn for her and her fanbase.

Speaking to ESPN about the news, Ripley said she’s heard a lot from her fans — who call themselves Rhea’s “moshes.” She says they’re excited about the inclusion, and happy to have Ripley representing them while she dominates in the WWE ring.

“I know that I get a lot of messages from my ‘moshes’ — my fan base — and they’re so ecstatic that there’s someone out there that can represent them — represent the weirdos, the freaks, the people that just don’t fit the norm,” Ripley said. “So, I feel that it was really important for me to get out of my shell and stop following that mold and be the person that you see today to help other people be confident within their own skin as well. So, I have to thank people like Beth [Phoenix] and Chyna, because they were so different in such a time where it was very obvious what was wanted within women in the sporting business.”

Ripley and Belair donning the cover of 2K24’s Deluxe Edition will be the first time that a pair of women have been the sole covers of any WWE video game ever.
