Rhea Ripley has been a dominant force in WWE’s women’s division for years. Known for her unmatched strength and charisma, she’s been on a relentless quest to capture the Women’s World Championship after parting ways with The Judgment Day. However, her journey has been hindered by constant interference from Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez.
This holiday season, WWE superstars, including Ripley, took a well-deserved break as the company pre-taped RAW and SmackDown episodes to allow talent and crew to celebrate with their families. Among the festive cheer, Ripley’s husband, AEW star Buddy Matthews (formerly known as Buddy Murphy), provided fans with a lighthearted moment involving The Eradicator.
On his Instagram story, Matthews shared a humorous video captioned as “rare footage” of Rhea Ripley opening her Christmas presents. The video depicted a character receiving a sledgehammer for Christmas, poking fun at Ripley’s intense persona and, presumably, her unique way of unwrapping gifts.
“Rare footage of @rhearipley_wwe opening her Christmas presents,” joked Matthews in the post.

Rhea Ripley’s Journey to the Women’s World Championship
The Eradicator’s momentum as a babyface has skyrocketed in recent months, particularly during her feud with Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Raquel Rodriguez. Now, Ripley is on the cusp of a massive title opportunity.
On January 6, Rhea Ripley is set to challenge Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship on WWE RAW’s historic debut on Netflix. This highly anticipated match is expected to bring their months-long rivalry to a thrilling conclusion.
While the bout could easily headline the event, RAW’s premiere episode boasts a stacked lineup, making it part of a loaded card. Fans are eager to see if Ripley can finally claim the title that has eluded her for so long or if Morgan will solidify her reign with a decisive victory.
As Ripley gears up for her championship showdown, fans will undoubtedly keep an eye on her holiday antics and her path to potential gold in the new year.
