Rhea Ripley was a fan of WWE prior to the company signing her. That was a big moment for her life, as she got to pursue her dreams in the ring. She also got to be a bit closer to someone she had a crush on when she was watching at home.
Rhea Ripley participated in a quick question-and-answer session during WWE’s recent visit to India. The Women’s World Champion shared insights about various aspects of her personal life, including her unexpected crush on fellow WWE star The Miz.
The current WWE Women’s World Champion emerged as a dominant figure in the WWE roster since teaming up with The Judgment Day in 2022. At just 26 years old, she grew up watching The Miz, who is now 42, on television during her childhood.
During an exclusive interview with Riju Dasgupta, Rhea Ripley was prompted to reveal her first WWE crush, and she immediately mentioned one name.
“The Miz. Oh man, Miz will see this.”
Rhea Ripley is in a real-life engagement with AEW’s Buddy Matthews, formerly known as Buddy Murphy in WWE. So, The Miz probably doesn’t have a shot with Ripley right now.
The Miz is also very happily married to Maryse, and they have two children, so the ship has sailed on any romance with Rhea Ripley. It’s still pretty funny to think about those days before Ripley was a WWE Superstar.
