Ripley calls out a fan on X
WWE star Rhea Ripley publicly pushed back against a fan on X (formerly Twitter) after a post suggested a Twitch streamer was using his connection to her to grow his following.
The original post — shared by X user @abbyonekenobi — read: “Guy who uses Rhea Ripley and his friendship with her to build his entire fanbase and twitch following: ‘If you even think about posting clips with her or asking about her you will be blocked.’”
Ripley responded directly, calling the comment “idiotic af” and urging the fan to “use your brain.” Her reply ended the speculation in a blunt, no-nonsense tone that has become familiar to fans.
Quoted: Ripley’s reply on X
“This post is idiotic af… normally I fw you… but this ain’t it. Use your brain.”

Who is Gabriel Aeros (KingKreas)?
Gabriel Aeros, known online as KingKreas, is an independent wrestler and streamer who has featured Ripley and her husband Buddy Matthews on his Twitch streams. Some clips showing Ripley interacting playfully with Aeros — including a moment where she delivered a chest chop during a stream — have circulated online and drawn attention to their friendship.
Fans on social media sometimes question the nature of celebrity friendships, and in this case a user implied Aeros was leveraging Ripley’s profile to build his audience. Ripley’s swift reply rejected that implication.
Ripley’s WWE plans: Tag title match on RAW
Beyond the social media moment, Ripley remains focused on in-ring business. She’s scheduled to team with IYO SKY on WWE RAW to challenge The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Why it matters
