Rhea Ripley made a swift jump to become one of the top stars of WWE. The 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner is easily distinguishable, from her goth-inspired makeup. However, most fans would find it difficult to recognize her, in the past. When Ripley was known to the world, simply as Demi Bennett. Moreover, fans couldn’t contain their excitement at an old image of the WWE superstar without the make-up and with another wrestler, whom fans mistook for a young Austin Theory. However, fans clarified it was Jett Armstrong.
Fans can’t believe they’re looking at Rhea Ripley
An Instagram page posted a picture of Rhea Ripley, from her RCW days. However, they mistook her partner for Austin Theory and fans quickly corrected it in the comments section. Many fans admired the blond-haired beauty, who didn’t go by her ring name back then. However, others felt she destroyed her natural looks with all the tattoos and makeup.
Fans wrote in the comments section:
“no way that’s A TOWN”
“That man is living best time of his life.”
“Theory vs Ripley for the U.S Championship”
“I’ve never seen her blonde before!”
“She used to be attractive. Now she’s tatted and looks like a dude 😞”
“That’s not Austin 🤦♂️”
“That is not austin I think”
“Why does Theory look small there”
“You see how small that guy is and you thought it was Theory? 😂 Dude been jacked since he was like 17”
“Yeah no that’s Jett Armstrong”
Therefore, fans came to the rescue and recognized the male wrestler to be Jett Armstrong. Moreover, his picture is from Ripley and Armstrong’s tag team RCW Ultimatum match against Mick Moretti and Jessica Troy from 2016. However, her next test will have higher stakes.
