Following the Evolution 2025 event, several WWE figures, including Dominik Mysterio, Ava—the daughter of The Rock—and Buddy Matthews, engaged with Rhea Ripley’s heartfelt message on social media. Ripley competed at Evolution 2025, where she delivered an impactful performance that captured the attention of fans and peers alike.
During the all-women’s premium live event, Ripley battled IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship in the main event. Both wrestlers showcased impressive skill and endurance, earning acclaim from audiences and critics. However, the contest concluded unexpectedly when Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract near the end of the match and claimed the title, leaving neither Ripley nor SKY as the champion.
After the show, Ripley shared a moving message on Instagram reflecting on her journey from participating in a dark match at the first Evolution event to now headlining Evolution 2. She expressed gratitude toward IYO SKY for sharing history with her.
“Always bet on yourself. From the Pre show dark match at Evolution 1 to the Main event of Evolution 2! Thank you @iyo_sky for making history with me 🖤,” she wrote.
This post received likes from numerous current and former WWE stars such as CM Punk, Austin Theory, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, and Maryse, among others, while Brie Bella, Lola Vice, and Zelina Vega contributed comments supporting Ripley’s sentiment.
