Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2013–2017)

Bennett began to work in Riot City Wrestling in 2013. She spent several years in the promotion, where she became a two-time RCW Women's Champion.[2] Bennett's New Horizon Pro Wrestling debut was made on 24 May 2014 at during the opening night of the NHPW Global Conflict where she joined the Global Conflict Tournament. She was eliminated during the first round of the tournament by Mercedes Martinez.[3] She returned for the second night of the NHPW Global Conflict event, competing in a four way mixed tag team match paired with Garry Schmidt.[3] Six months later, Bennett returned and was part of the opening night of the NHPW Final Chapter event, wrestling a Four Way Match against Madison Eagles, Evie and Saraya Knight with the vacant IndyGurlz Australia Championship at stake. However, Bennett did not win the title.[3]

Bennett made her Melbourne City Wrestling debut in on 14 June 2014 at MCW New Horizons where she defended the RCW Women's title in a Three Way match against Savannah Summers and Toni Storm.[4] On 9 August at MCW Clash Of The Titans, Bennett defeated Miami to retain her Women's Championship.[5] Bennett continued her winning streak with a third consecutive victory, defeating Savannah Summers at MCW Fight For A Cause.

On 22 April 2017, Bennett wrestled her last RCW match at RCW Strength where she successfully defended the Women's title against Kellyanne.[6]

WWE

Mae Young Classic (2017–2018)

In 2017, Bennett signed with the WWE. It was announced that she would compete in the inaugural Mae Young Classic under the name Rhea Ripley.[7] Ripley eliminated Miranda Salinas in the first round but lost to Dakota Kai in the second round. She made her NXT television debut on 26 October 2017 episode of NXT, participating in a battle royal to determine one of the contenders for the vacant NXT Women's Championship at WarGames, which was won by Nikki Cross.

Sporting a new look, Ripley competed in the second annual Mae Young Classic in 2018 and finished in the semi-finals, defeating MJ Jenkins, Kacy Catanzaro, and Tegan Nox before losing to Io Shirai. Throughout the tournament, Ripley has shown a new attitude, one of which is declining to shake her opponent's hand before the match and more aggressive and remorseless from the previous year, establishing herself as a heel in the process. [1][8]

NXT UK (2018–present)

Shortly after her participation in the Mae Young Classic, Ripley was announced as part of the women's roster in the newly created NXT UK brand. During the television tapings of the show in August (that aired throughout November), Ripley took part of an eight woman tournament for the inaugural NXT UK Women's Championship.[9] She went on to defeat Xia Brookside in the first round,[10] Dakota Kai in the semi finals[11] and Toni Storm in the finals to become the inaugural champion.[12][13] With the win, Ripley also became the first Australian to ever hold a women's championship in WWE.[14] In October, Ripley also competed before the first ever all women's pay–per–view, Evolution, where she successfully retained her title against Dakota Kai in a dark match (due to the tournament airing a month later).[15] Throughout her championship reign, Ripley went on to fend off title contenders such as Isla Dawn[16] and Deonna Purrazzo.[17]. At Blackpool, she lost her title to Toni Storm ending her reign at 139 days. At the Royal Rumble 2019, she debuted on the main roster by entering the Women's Royal Rumble at number 24. She eliminated Kacy Catanzaro, Dana Brooke, and Zelina Vega before being eliminated by Bayley.

Personal life

Bennett also excels in other sports such as swimming, karate, rugby, netball and soccer.[7][18] She cites watching The Miz as an inspiration growing up.[19] She is a fan of the Adelaide Football Club.[20]
