Rhea Ripley is reportedly the next big star to be locked up with a new long-term WWE contract.

PWInsider first reported on Thursday that Ripley, who turns 28 on Friday, and WWE have come to terms on what is said to be a five-year contract with the deal just needing to be signed. It also comes with a “considerable raise,” according to the outlet.

Ripley and Damian Priest are currently feuding with their former Judgment Day teammates.

After cutting her teeth on the Australian indie scene, Ripley first signed with WWE in 2017 and made her debut as part of the Mae Young Classic tournament before heading to the NXT UK brand in 2018. She became their first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion and eventually returned to NXT stateside in the late-summer of 2019.

She was called up to the main roster in the first quarter of 2021 and won the then-Raw Women’s title by defeating Asuka at WrestleMania 37.

She is the fifth women’s Grand Slam champion and seventh women’s Triple Crown champion in WWE history, holding nearly every major title the company has.
