Rhea Ripley On How Acting Classes Helped Improve Her WWE Character

WWE Superstars need to know how to wrestle. This was something that Rhea Ripley had down to a science, but those acting chops needed sharpening as well. This caused her to seek out some professional help to heighten those skills.

While speaking to Out of Character, Rhea Ripley discussed taking acting classes. They have helped Ripley come out of her shell a bit. She is naturally a shy person which is a huge difference from the character she portrays on screen.

“Yeah definitely. My confidence isn’t huge in my every day life. Like I’m a really shy person, I’m not very confident. I’m not good at keeping a conversation and being a larger than life person.”

“But when I’m in the ring, that’s where I get all my confidence. That’s where I get to be Rhea Ripley but still myself. I definitely want to be myself, as in like Rhea Ripley, but I do want to have that same confidence that everyone else seems to have all the time. I’m working on it.”
