Top Star Says WWE Made Them Get TikTok

The world of social media moves fast and over the last few years TikTok has become one of the most popular apps in the world. Naturally the stars of WWE have gravitated toward TikTok and Rhea Ripley has become one of the most popular wrestlers on the app.

Recently Rhea Ripley to Phil Strum of Under The Ring about her TikTok popularity and she noted that she finds it funny because she didn’t even want to use TikTok.

“Social media is a very interesting place. There is a lot of positivity, but there’s a lot of negativity. Obviously, my TikTok has been going absolutely wild, which is funny because I didn’t even want TikTok. Work made me get it because apparently, I was TikTok famous. They made me get it, and I guess they were right because it skyrocketed, and now I’m the most followed superstar in WWE, which is wild.

I don’t really go on social media too much anymore because there is so much negativity. I don’t read as much as I used to read. Obviously, I try and see all the fan art and all the pictures of people doing my makeup, because I like to see that stuff. I like to see the lives that I’ve inspired and the people that I’ve brought the confidence out, in a good way. Most of the time, I’ll post something really cheeky and then get off the app.”

Rhea Ripley has been on top of the women’s division ever since she defeated Charlotte Flair to win championship gold at WrestleMania 39. She was recently presented with the new WWE Women’s World Championship belt, but the next contender for her title has not yet been established.
