Rhea Ripley may be one of WWEs biggest names today, but that didnt stop one major brand from overlooking her when she tried to reach out early in her career. During the same appearance with Complex, Ripley talked about her long-time love for Vans and revealed that she actually tried to connect with the company herself when her WWE career started gaining momentum. At the time, she believed her growing popularity might open the door for a partnership but things didnt go the way she expected. Ripley explained that despite reaching out directly, she never received any response from the brand she wears almost every day. Even with that missed opportunity, Ripley made it clear shes still open to working with Vans in the future. Her loyalty to the brand hasnt changed, and she continues to wear their shoes regularly both inside and outside of WWE appearances. Now that Ripley has become one of the most recognizable stars in WWE, her comments could easily catch attention from the company especially as athletes and entertainers continue landing major footwear partnerships. Do you think Vans should reach out to Rhea Ripley now that shes one of WWEs biggest stars, or did they miss their chance when she first contacted them? Share your thoughts in the comments.
