From Wikipedia
Demi Bennett (born 11 October 1996) is an Australian professional wrestler. She is signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Rhea Ripley. She is a two-time Women's World Champion and a one-time WWE Raw Women's Champion. Regarded as one of the best female wrestlers in the world due to her popularity and in-ring ability, her first reign as Women's World Champion is tied with Bayley as the longest in the title's history at 380 days.
After competing on the independent circuit under her real name since 2013, Ripley joined WWE and participated in the inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017. After reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 edition of the tournament, she was part of the original roster of NXT UK, becoming the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion in August 2018. After a run on the NXT brand from 2019 to 2021, which saw her win the NXT Women's Championship and become the brand's first member to defend an NXT title at WrestleMania, WWE's flagship event, she was promoted to the main roster on Raw where she joined The Judgment Day in 2022.
In addition to the NXT UK Women's Championship and NXT Women's Championship, she is a former two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion (with Nikki A.S.H. once and Iyo Sky once). After winning the SmackDown Women's Championship in April 2023—which was renamed as Women's World Championship that June—she became the seventh WWE Women's Triple Crown Champion and fifth WWE Women's Grand Slam Champion, as well as the only wrestler to have held all five of these titles. She is also the first female Australian champion in WWE history. Ripley was the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble winner, becoming the fourth wrestler and the first woman to win a Royal Rumble match as the number one entrant.
