Rhea Ripley has one of the weirdest fan following in WWE. The Womenโs World Champion has also admitted the odd stories she has had with her fans. One such encounter occurred recently on Ripleyโs Instagram story, which was deleted after some time. However, WWE Commentator Corey Graves did not hesitate to mention the thing on live TV.
Rhea Ripley came down to the ring with her new Womenโs World Championship on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. She continued her dominance over the red brand with an attack on Natalya. The two were scheduled for a one-on-one match, but Ripley attacked Natalya before the match started. She left the Queen of Harts unconscious in the ring and walked away surrounded by boos.
During Ripleyโs entrance, Corey Graves took shots at the champion, talking about her Instagram stories. He mockingly mentioned the story while talking to his fellow commentator, Kevin Patrick. Graves said that the picture Ripley had in her story was a massive hit. This was an apparent reference to the controversial story that Ripley put out on her Instagram account recently.
The 26-year-old added a picture from a fan to her story. The picture showed a photo of Ripley with suspicious fluid all over her face. The story had fans disgusted by the visuals. The Champion took the story down after fan outrage on Twitter and other social media. However, the WWE Universe continued to talk about the story hours after it was deleted.

Can we please get Byron back and get rid of Corey?โ Kimi Martinez #JB17 (@KimiMtz17) June 20, 2023
That’s a bridge way too far. I hope Rhea knows what was said, and this wasn’t a jab made that no one expected her to hear.Matter of fact it was a pretty easy jab to avoid altogetherโ J.D (@JDefends) June 20, 2023
Rhea Ripley, on the other hand, is unphased by the drama. She had a dominant outing on Raw and continues her run as the Womenโs World Champion. She also appeared on Raw with The Judgment Day as the other members got ready for their respective matches at Money In The Bank.
