Rhea Ripley has solidified herself as one of WWE’s top stars, and her popularity continues to grow, making her a sought-after figure in various forms of media. Recently, her image was featured in an unexpected place that surprised many fans.
“Gil Thorp,” a long-running sports-themed comic strip, has been in publication since September 8, 1958. The strip follows Gil Thorp, the athletic director at Milford High School, who coaches the school’s football, basketball, and baseball teams. While the comic primarily revolves around sports, it also addresses significant teenage issues such as teen pregnancy, steroid use, and drug abuse. Over the years, the comic has built a loyal following and recently ventured into the world of professional wrestling, with Rhea Ripley making an appearance in the strip.
In one of the latest editions of the comic strip, Rhea Ripley is depicted in the ring during her ring announcement. The strip showcases fans praising her, with one even expressing a desire to be like her, while another character takes a break to grab snacks.
As a top WWE Superstar, Rhea Ripley’s presence in the comic strip is another testament to her broad appeal. Although this appearance didn’t require her physical presence, it was undoubtedly a cool moment for her fans to see her represented in a new medium.
Looking ahead, Rhea Ripley is set to team up with Damian Priest at Bash in Berlin. The former Judgment Day members will face Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan in a mixed tag team match during the August 31 premium live event. While the match isn’t for Morgan’s Women’s World Championship, Ripley is more than ready to take on Dirty Dom and Morgan.
