Rhea Ripley Calls Out Fake Claim About Her Body Transformation

TLDR

Rhea Ripley took to social media to shut down viral rumors claiming her recent body transformation was due to muscle mass causing serious back pain. An engagement account spread the false claim, which fans incorrectly connected to comments Ripley made in a July 2025 interview where she mentioned back pain from hitting an announce table during a match with Raquel Rodriguez. Ripley responded directly on social media, stating "That 'interview' never happened. Just another made up thing about me."
