Item: Rhea Ripley Language: en-US Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Thanks for your report!
Extra Details: Shouldn't the name be Demi Bennett?
I asked the other moderators 4 weeks ago if TMDb ever had a rule on how to decide the primary name of a wrestler?
And nobody could remember that we ever had such a rule and/or exception.
We never explicitly encouraged users to add the legal name - that was never a rule.
"Many actors (and non-actors) use multiple stage names in their career. When a name change is linear, you should use the last name used by a living person. For example, Caitlyn Jenner, or Alexa PenaVega rather than Alexa Vega.
When a person uses many names simultaneously and alternatively, choosing a primary name is usually a judgment call based on a few factors:
Is there a name they are most often credited as?
Which name is used on their official website and social accounts?
Which name is used on their agent or union's website?
Which name are the other major websites are using?"
So, for Demi Bennett aka Rhea Ripley, I would / we should choose at this point in her career the name Rhea Ripley as the primary name.
All of her current social media accounts use the name Rhea Ripley - that's what people know her as of right now.
This can change in the future!
But for now, it should be Rhea Ripley.

And that's why we have to follow the general rule for person profiles - you can find it here:
