Rhea Ripley Blasts Fans After Being Mobbed Before WWE Clash in Paris
Rhea Ripley gets mobbed before WWE Clash in Paris.
Rhea Ripley is currently part of WWE’s extensive European tour, performing in France, the UK, and Ireland, but she does not have a match scheduled for WWE Clash in Paris.
That being said, she recently found herself overwhelmed before the Clash in Paris PLE when she was aggressively mobbed by fans in Paris, an experience she described as uncomfortable and frightening. She took to social media to urge fans to remember that wrestlers are people too and called for respect and decency, asking them not to swarm or push anyone like a pack of wild animals.
Ripley emphasized the importance of common courtesy and personal boundaries, strongly reminding fans that “no means no.” This moment highlighted the challenges that wrestlers frequently face off-screen, especially during international tours where enthusiastic fans can sometimes cross the line.
“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,” Ripley tweeted.

Rhea Ripley Wants WWE To Push Candice Lerae
In an interview with SPORTBible, Rhea Ripley expressed her admiration for Candice LeRae, who she believes is an underrated female WWE star and deserves greater recognition and more opportunities. Ripley praised Candice’s experience and leadership within NXT, highlighting her ability to maintain control in the ring and guide other talent.
She described Candice leRae as a veteran with a sharp wrestling mind who contributes significantly to every match she’s involved in but hasn’t yet received the spotlight she deserves on WWE television. Ripley hopes WWE will acknowledge Candice’s talents by offering her increased TV time and more prominent storylines within the women’s division.
It’s hard to pinpoint anyone specifically, but I feel like there’s a lot, especially in the women’s division. There’s so many women that I know are so amazing at what they do, and they don’t get enough TV time or the opportunities to really show everyone what they can do.
Someone that I love is Candice LeRae, and going through NXT with her and how her brain works and how she goes out there and she’s like the vet in the ring, she knows what to do and she keeps everyone calm and she’s got ideas and it’s just like I wish that someone like her would get more of an opportunity.
