“Real Clown Behavior!” - Rhea Ripley’s Cryptic Message After WrestleMania
Rhea Ripley appears to have someone on her mind.
The new WWE Women's Champion took to her verified Instagram account (@rhearipley_wwe) on Monday, posting a cryptic message on her story that has fans buzzing with speculation.
The story, posted on April 21, features a text graphic that reads:
"The funniest thing is when someone thinks they are relevant or hold value in your life, especially when they have done everything to prove they should have never been apart of it in the first place... Real clown behavior!"
The post includes a clown emoji in the bottom right corner for added emphasis.
Ripley did not name anyone in the post, leaving fans to speculate on who the message could be directed toward. Given that she just defeated Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42 to win the WWE Women's Championship on April 19, some fans immediately linked the post to her in-ring rivals.
Others pointed to the possibility of it being personal and unrelated to wrestling entirely. Ripley has not followed up with any additional context.
Ripley is coming off one of the biggest stretches of her career. Her WrestleMania 42 Night 2 victory over Cargill was a defining moment, and Cargill has already demanded a rematch.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan was spotted alongside the Judgment Day on Monday's Raw after WrestleMania, a faction Ripley has deep history with. Morgan has previously described her rivalry with Ripley as a "Batman and Joker" dynamic.
Whether the post is tied to an on-screen storyline, a behind-the-scenes situation, or something entirely personal remains unknown. For now, fans are left reading between the lines of what Ripley clearly intended as a very public, very pointed message.
