Rhea Ripley Nears New WWE Contract

Rhea Ripley, a prominent figure in WWE, is reportedly on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with the organization, securing her presence for the next five years with a significant pay raise. Despite not holding a title currently, Ripley is known for her layered character and compelling in-ring performances, and she has become a fan favorite. Her storyline involves ongoing feuds with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, as seen in the recent WWE Bad Blood event where a disqualification thwarted her championship ambitions. Fellow WWE star Bronson Reed praised Ripley's rise from an independent wrestling fan to a major WWE star, highlighting her unique aura and charisma. Eric Bischoff, a former WWE executive, also commended Ripley's character depth and wrestling prowess, likening her to a gourmet meal with multiple complementary layers. The contract signing is anticipated shortly, while the status of WWE's contract discussions with other stars like Liv Morgan and Nia Jax remains uncertain.
