'I'm a buff WWE wrestler but I've always struggled with body image'
WWE superstars are known for being larger than life, stepping in the ring with incredible physiques on display for millions of fans around the world. However, it's easy to forget that these massive characters have real insecurities and hang-ups like anyone else, especially in such an aesthetically-driven industry. Speaking exclusively to Metro from WWE 2K25's booth in Las Vegas, Raw star Ivy Nile admitted she 'never felt cool' growing up because of her body. 'It sounds like a weird problem to have. Growing up, I couldn't wear normal clothes my friends were wearing because I'm so buff,' she recalled. 'And then, you kind of think, 'boys aren't gonna like me because I'm bigger than them', which is funny.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

When it comes to stepping out in front of thousands of fans in an arena every week, the 33-year-old star admitted she has to put herself in a 'weird mentality'. 'Sometimes I just play a game with myself, it's all a simulation, it's not happening,' she laughed. Growing up as 'a fit kind with muscles', Ivy – who recently wrestled Stephania Carter, a rising star in WWE 2K25's New Wave DLC pack – revealed she 'never felt cool', but now being in the gym and the wrestling ring has helped her grow. 'That's what I had to learn, just getting more confident. I'm kinda in my element in the gym and in my gear,' she explained. 'I can be a Hulk and show my muscles. But right now I'm in a dress suit, and I feel kind of uncomfortable, but that's okay!' She has also taken inspiration from other athletes, name-dropping Olympic hero Simone Biles, 28, as someone to look up to. 'She's in my stature, she's shorter, she's stocky. That's how we're built. And we found beauty, we found strength through that in our sports. And I think we just embrace ourselves so much, even though we're different,' she smiled. 'Clothes fit weird, but that's okay. So it's cool how we embrace who we are, turn it into a strength, and we are both in amazing businesses.' Ivy is also helped by her partnership with Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers, with real-life siblings Julius and Brutus providing a solid rock on screen and behind the scenes. 'I've been with them for three years, I started with them in NXT in Diamond Mine, I started with them day one,' she reflected. 'They are a pain in my butt, but I love them. They got my back, and I love growing with them.' She hopes all three can 'get some gold this year', while Ivy also has some dream matches in mind for 2025, given the way fans have almost limitless possibilities in WWE 2K25. 'I already had one of mine with Rhea [Ripley], I would love to throw that back. I think I would grow so much, continuing to work with her,' she smiled. 'I've always wanted to work with Iyo [Sky], I haven't worked with Iyo. I have so many people on my list that I want to – Liv [Morgan]. Bianca [Belair], of course, we're from the same hometown.' More Trending Beyond video game dream matches and championship ambitions, Ivy has her sights set on a major WrestleMania goal to truly leave her mark. 'One day I want to have a bunch of fit kids, girls with muscles,' she said. 'I never felt cool – I always had muscles and stuff. So whenever it's my time, I'm gonna have a bunch of fit kids flexing with me up on stage.' View More » WWE 2K25 is available now.

WWE RAW Results: IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley Triumph; Creed Brothers Down War Raiders After New Day's Distraction
Last Updated: Let's take a look at the results of all matches that unfolded on May 12's episode of Monday Night RAW. The post-Backlash WWE RAW opened with the return of CM Punk. He claimed to have been betrayed by Paul Heyman. He also poked fun at Seth Rollins, calling him a 'CM Punk from Temu". Rollins showed up and accused Punk of gaslighting everyone about Heyman. That's when Bron Breakker appeared at the arena and attacked Punk. Sami Zayn and Jey Uso made the save before Rollins fled the scene. Following a chaotic opening segment, the RAW episode featured a singles fight between Penta and Chad Gable, while the Creed Brothers faced the War Raiders in a tag-team battle. Moving forward, AJ Styles went head-to-head against Finn Balor, and IYO SKY teamed up with Rhea Ripley to take on the pair of Giulia and Roxanne Perez. Let's take a look at the results of all matches that unfolded on May 12's episode of Monday Night RAW: Chad Gable vs Penta: Gable started commandingly and welcomed Pental with some big kicks and a headbutt. Penta bounced back with a superkick and followed it up with a codebreaker. He was setting up an electric chair-esque move but failed to execute it properly. Gable unleashed a moonsault, but Penta quickly countered it with a superkick. He then used the Mexican Destroyer to pin Gable. Creed Brothers vs War Raiders: With the New Day on commentary duty, the match went through much drama. The two teams traded some strikes as Ivar launched the Banzai Drop and Brutas came back with a suplex and a moonsault. The New Day ran a distraction, which helped The Creeds shell out the Butus Ball Device and seal the deal. Styles took early control as she turned an amber to catch his opponent for a pin attempt. Balor used the ropes to break the hold but missed out on the Coup de Grâce. Cartilo and JC McDonagh tried to interfere but were knocked down by Styles. Penta came forward to assist Styles, who got the Phenomenal Forearm to secure the victory. IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley vs Giulia & Roxanne Perez: Perez and SKY started the match before Ripley tagged in and got the better of Perez. Giulia attempted a double-team move, but SKY countered it with a big dive. After some back-and-forth, Perez accidentally brought down Giulia, and Ripley took advantage of the situation and used the Riptide to win the tag-team battle. First Published: May 13, 2025, 11:03 IST

Lineup for WWE RAW (05/12/2025): AJ Styles vs Finn Balor, Creed Brothers return, and more
As the dust settles from WWE Backlash 2025, fans can look forward to an action-packed edition of Monday Night RAW, set to air on May 12 from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now WWE has already confirmed three high-profile matches for the show, each with its own share of backstory and implications. AJ Styles faces Finn Balor after judgment day tension One of the night's main attractions is a singles bout between AJ Styles and Finn Balor, two former Bullet Club leaders whose paths now cross under very different circumstances. The match was set up during a tense backstage segment on this week's RAW, where Styles informed Dominik Mysterio of his intentions to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship - regardless of whether Mysterio or Penta walks out of Backlash as champion. In response, Dominik turned to Balor for backup. Although Balor initially bristled at being seen as someone's enforcer, he eventually agreed with a smirk - highlighting the ongoing friction within The Judgment Day. With both men holding long-standing grudges and international reputations, the showdown between Styles and Balor could have serious title implications. Creed Brothers take on War Raiders in tag team clash Another major match announced for RAW features the powerhouse duo of Julius and Brutus Creed (American Made) going up against former tag champs Erik and Ivar, collectively known as The War Raiders. After losing their titles to The New Day at WrestleMania, the War Raiders are looking to reassert themselves as top contenders. Meanwhile, The New Day approached Chad Gable backstage, arguing that the Creed Brothers deserved a shot at the gold before the War Raiders get a rematch. The outcome of this match could determine who moves up in the title picture on the red brand. Women's division heats up with tag team showdown In a highly anticipated women's tag match, current Women's World Champion Iyo Sky will team up with Rhea Ripley to take on rising stars Roxanne Perez and Giulia. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The match stems from a heated sequence on RAW where Sky defeated Perez, only to be blindsided by Giulia after a deceptive show of sportsmanship. With tensions already running high in the women's division and WrestleMania fallout still fresh, expect this tag team bout to deliver intensity and perhaps spark new rivalries heading into the summer. For now the confirmed matches are: AJ Styles vs Finn Balor vs Finn Balor War Raiders vs Creed Brothers Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez & Giulia Fans can expect more developments following Backlash, with surprises likely in store.
