WWE star Rhea Ripley gets extremely candid revealing real reason for weight loss

If you’ve been watching her lately, you may have noticed that WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley has slimmed down and lost weight ahead of her match against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.

It caught the attention of Revival Fitness on Instagram, who posted a video responding to the rumors that Ripley’s weight loss was due to “back pain caused by her muscle mass.”

However, that might not be the case. Ripley responded to Revival Fitness’ post, revealing that she is currently dealing with an eating disorder.

“Just a little eating disorder that I’m actively trying to handle [peace sign emoji],” Ripley responded.

Obviously, this is a very personal matter, and fans should give Ripley her privacy and support. Fans were extremely supportive, with over 1,300 of them responding to her comment.

One fan wrote, “[Rhea Ripley] don’t need to explain or justify anything to anyone, no matter what you say it will always be construed or contorted on the internet. Appreciate you.”

Another fan greatly appreciated Ripley’s candor. They pointed out how Ripley responded to a “person who’s more or less just a regular guy” to reveal such a personal detail.

WWE star Rhea Ripley’s weight loss

Throughout her career, Ripley has always been one of the buffer Superstars on the roster. Recently, she has noticeably slimmed down, and this has concerned fans.

The reports that her weight loss was due to back pain appear to be false. Ripley’s response, revealing her eating disorder, appears to be the real obstacle she is “actively” dealing with.

Hopefully, all goes well for Ripley. She is days away from one of the biggest matches of her career, challenging Cargill for the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Ripley won the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber match to earn her title shot. Her match against Cargill will take place during Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 on Sunday, Apr. 19.
