Demi Bennett is a professional wrestler currently signed with the WWE, where she works on the Raw Brand under the ring name Rhea Ripley. She is the inaugural and current NXT UK Women's Champion in her first reign.

Bennett has worked also for other Australian promotions such as Professional Wrestling Alliance and Riot City Wrestling.

In 2017, Bennett signed with the WWE. It was announced that she will compete in the first annual Mae Young Classic under the name Rhea Ripley. Ripley eliminated Miranda Salinas in the first round but lost to Dakota Kai in the second round. She made her NXT television debut on the October 26, 2017 episode of NXT, participating in a battle royal to determine one of the contenders for the vacant NXT Women's Championship at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, which was won by Nikki Cross.

Sporting a new look, Ripley competed in the second annual Mae Young Classic in 2018 and finished in the semi-finals, defeating M. J. Jenkins, Kacy Catanzaro, and Tegan Nox before losing. Throughout the tournament, Ripley has shown a new attitude, one of which is declining to shake her opponent's hand before the match and more aggressive and remorseless from the previous year, establishing herself as a heel in the process.
