CM Punk, Buddy Matthews, Damian Priest, Tiffany Stratton, and others react to progress update from Rhea Ripley

WWE is on the Road to WrestleMania 41, and Rhea Ripley is training hard for her championship defense. Amid uncertainty over her next challenger, Ripley looks to be preparing for any and all threats, and her colleagues are taking notice. Buddy Matthews, Damian Priest, CM Punk, and Tiffany Stratton are among those publicly reacting to The Eradicator's latest photo update.

Rhea just passed the one-month mark of her second reign as Women's World Champion. Ripley is facing potential WrestleMania Vegas challenges from names like Charlotte Flair and Bayley, while the RAW women's division also has a permanent target on her back. She's also keeping an eye on who wins the Women's Elimination Chamber match to earn a 'Mania shot.

The 28-year-old posted an impressive gym photo on Instagram today, noting that her look remains under construction.

"Under construction [female construction worker emoji] [hammer and wrench emoji]," Ripley wrote with the photo below.

Several stars have reacted to Ripley's post. While Tiffany Stratton, CM Punk, Chelsea Green, Damian Priest, Buddy Matthews, and others acknowledged the photo with a like, others took the time to drop a comment.

As of this writing, Natalya, Nikkita Lyons, Tatum Paxley, Jessika Carr, Ivy Nile, Maxxine Dupri, and a few brands and a superfan have commented. The Queen of Harts praised Ripley in a two-word reply.

"Looking fierce!!!!" Natalya wrote.
