Since then, the popular Aussie has dominated the women's division with some stunning title defences against the likes of Natalya, Raquel Rodriguez and Zoey Stark.
The Adelaide star's rise has seen her amass a strong fanbase with 1million followers on Twitter alone.
And Ripley went viral during WWE's most recent non-televised house show in Illinois over the weekend when she retained her belt in a Triple Threat Match against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
During the match, Jax tried to pay homage to her cousin and WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi as she tried to deliver the Stinkface on the titleholder.

Rikishi made that move famous during the Attitude Era in the early 2000s as he placed his backside on his opponent's face in a bid to humiliate him in front of the entire world.
However, Ripley managed to counter that attack and threw Jax in the corner before delivering her own version to her.
The live crowd went viral as did millions watching from home as a clip showing the incident went viral.
Ripley shared the video on her profile with the following caption: "Payback’s a Peach… Your’e welcome Nia."
