IT’S OFFICIAL: Netflix to Release Official Documentary About Rhea Ripley, Premiering Globally in…..
In a groundbreaking announcement that has electrified both the wrestling community and entertainment world, Netflix has officially confirmed the release of a brand-new documentary centered on WWE superstar Rhea Ripley. The feature-length production, slated for a global premiere in December 2025, promises to deliver an unprecedented look into the life, legacy, and relentless rise of one of professional wrestling’s most dominant and influential figures.
Titled “Rhea Ripley: Unleashed,” the documentary is set to chronicle Ripley’s extraordinary journey from her early days in Adelaide, South Australia, to becoming one of the most feared and respected performers in the world of sports entertainment. Known for her fierce presence, gothic charisma, and unparalleled in-ring ability, Ripley has transcended wrestling to become a global icon of strength, resilience, and authenticity.
From Adelaide to WWE Stardom
The film will dive deep into Ripley’s roots — from her humble beginnings training in small gyms in Australia, to the moment she signed with WWE’s developmental brand, NXT UK. Viewers will witness the pivotal milestones that shaped her career: capturing the NXT UK Women’s Championship, making history as the first female Australian champion in WWE, and her monumental victories that catapulted her into superstardom.
Netflix’s production team reportedly spent over a year gathering behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and never-before-seen clips from Ripley’s personal archive. This includes intimate moments with her family, training sessions, her emotional WrestleMania appearances, and candid insights from colleagues and rivals within WWE.
A Look Beyond “The Eradicator” Persona
While Rhea Ripley is best known to fans as “The Eradicator” — the fearless powerhouse and member of the dominant WWE faction The Judgment Day — the documentary aims to peel back the layers behind the persona. It will explore the human being beneath the black leather and intensity: Demi Bennett, the determined young woman who fought against doubts, expectations, and societal labels to become the woman she is today.
Fans can expect a moving portrayal of Ripley’s transformation — not only physically, but emotionally and mentally. She has often spoken about overcoming anxiety, self-doubt, and the immense pressure of being a woman in a male-dominated industry. The documentary will spotlight her personal philosophy on empowerment, equality, and staying authentic in a world that often demands conformity.
Star-Studded Interviews and Exclusive Insights
According to early production notes, “Rhea Ripley: Unleashed” will feature appearances from a host of familiar names in professional wrestling, including Triple H, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio, her on-screen partner and Judgment Day ally. WWE legend Edge — who played a pivotal role in launching The Judgment Day faction — is also expected to provide insight into Ripley’s evolution as a performer and leader.
Beyond WWE circles, the documentary will feature commentary from cultural analysts, sports journalists, and fans who will reflect on how Ripley has redefined the image of a modern female athlete.
Netflix’s Expanding Focus on Sports and Entertainment Icons
This latest project marks Netflix’s continued push into the world of sports documentaries, following the success of productions like “The Last Dance” (Michael Jordan), “Beckham”, and “Quarterback.” By spotlighting Rhea Ripley, Netflix aims to celebrate not only her career achievements but also her cultural impact — as a symbol of individuality, rebellion, and empowerment.
In an official press release, Netflix’s VP of Global Documentaries, Emily Rosen, stated:
> “Rhea Ripley is not just an athlete — she’s a movement. Her story is one of grit, identity, and triumph against all odds. We are honored to bring her story to millions of viewers around the world.”
Rhea Ripley’s Reaction
Ripley herself took to social media moments after the announcement, sharing a simple yet powerful message:
> “From Adelaide to the world… this is my story. December 2025. Let’s make history again.”
Her post immediately went viral, amassing hundreds of thousands of likes and reactions from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. The WWE Universe expressed overwhelming excitement, with hashtags like #RheaRipleyNetflix and #Unleashed2025 trending across platforms within hours of the announcement.
What to Expect in December 2025
The documentary promises a cinematic blend of intensity and emotion — much like Ripley herself. Expect raw storytelling, electrifying match footage, and rare glimpses into her off-ring relationships, training regimens, and philosophies about success. The film will reportedly include scenes shot during WWE’s global tours, WrestleMania 40 preparations, and her current reign as one of the company’s most dominant female champions.
For fans, “Rhea Ripley: Unleashed” is not just a documentary — it’s a tribute to resilience, authenticity, and the power of embracing one’s true self.
As December 2025 approaches, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be one of the most inspiring and talked-about sports documentaries of the decade.
In the words of Rhea Ripley herself:
This isn’t just my story. It’s for anyone who’s ever been told they’re too different, too bold, or too much. I’m proof that you can be all of that — and still win.”
The world waits for December. The stage is set.
Rhea Ripley: Unleashed — streaming exclusively on Netflix, December 2025.
