Rhea Ripley in the News - September 2, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 2, 2025 - WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley was at the center of two major headlines today: one concerning her on-screen alliances in WWE programming, and the other involving comments from music superstar Drake.

1. WWE Teases “Massive New Alliance” for Ripley Late Tuesday, WWE’s official social media channels dropped a teaser hinting at a “massive new alliance” for Ripley on RAW, sparking widespread fan speculation. The clip showed Ripley-known as “The Eradicator”-entering the ring alongside LA Knight and The Usos after the trio’s tag main event. Ripley and Knight were then seen dancing in the ring as the WWE Instagram caption read, “Okayyyyy @reallaknight and @rhearipley_wwe 🤝🔥,” seemingly confirming the tease.

2. Drake Calls Ripley His “Muse” On the September 2 episode of the “Not This Again with Bobbi Althoff” podcast, rapper Drake revealed that Ripley dominates his Instagram “For You” page. He quipped that she’s “like my muse”, while admitting he is likely the “opposite of probably everything that she likes.” Drake’s light-hearted praise rapidly trended across social media, blending the worlds of hip-hop and sports entertainment.

Fans and industry insiders will be watching closely to see how WWE’s creative team capitalizes on these developments, both in Ripley’s storyline direction and in broader pop-culture crossover momentum.
