Rhea Ripley Also Addressed the Incident

Wrestling fans are a passionate bunch. However, they can sometimes cross the line in an attempt to take a photo with their favorite WWE star. As a result, fans often forget that there is a human being behind the persona who might get uncomfortable with these overtures.

Following this incident, Rhea Ripley herself took to social media to describe how she felt during that situation.

"Remember, we are people. Do not swarm me or anyone like a pack of rabid zombies… No one should ever be pushed up against a uber drivers door and completely mobbed like I just experienced. Use common courtesy and humanity. No means no. Wtf."

Rhea Ripley might be in the French capital city, but she is not competing at Clash in Paris tonight.
