West, who boasts almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@JesseJamesWest\">10 million subscribers on YouTube,<\/a> was brutally humbled when one of the greatest grapplers of all time not only chopped, but also bodyslammed her inexperienced opponent into the mat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The viral video, also shared via Instagram, shows the Aussie beaty pulling no punches, as she draws her shoulders back and unleashes a chop that almost sent West\u2019s chest into oblivion. This loud slap was then followed by a deep growl, as West wondered what he\u2019d let himself in for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Rhea Ripley had Jesse James West Wrestling with His Life Choices<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With West withing in pain, he was given a crash course of respect for the pro wrestlers who put their bodies on the line on a regular basis, all in the name of sports entertainment. \u201cThat\u2019ll leave a mark,\u201d noted one Instagram viewer, as West\u2019s chest lit up with a bright shade of red. \u201cAh, it stings,\u201d cried the now seriously inflamed influencer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercilessly, Ripley was then joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/pro-tips\/7-ways-wwe-superstar-buddy-murphy-got-cruiserweight-shape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her husband, Buddy Matthews<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0who landed another chop on West, for good measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current WWE Women\u2019s Champion, now in her second reign, is part of the SmackDown brand, and can be seen on USA Network weekly in the U.S. and on Netflix Internationally. After this experience, however, Jesse James West would likely prefer to go back and become a fan rather than a fighter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/rhea-ripley-leaves-jesse-james-west-bruised-after-brutal-wwe-training-session-goes-viral\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a reason why WWE\u2019s promotional videos often come with the tagline, \u201cDon\u2019t Try This at Home,\u201d but for fitness influencer Jesse James West, the reality of professional wrestling became very clear as Rhea Ripley made her mark on the muscular presenter.
