Wrestling

When I first started my journey in wrestling, I was in a place where I was still figuring out who I was and trying to please others. That’s how Rachelle Riveter was born: a woman who supports ALL women. Little did I know that name would stay with me, but its meaning would evolve. Initially, I wanted to embody someone who always uplifted and fought for other women. But in reality, I was barely fighting for myself.

​

Eventually, I stepped away from wrestling. What I thought was the right decision at the time turned into one of the biggest heartbreaks of my life. I was married, and starting a family was a priority—especially for my ex-husband. After trying unsuccessfully, enduring loss, and watching our marriage become increasingly toxic, I made the difficult decision to leave both my marriage and wrestling.

​

But deep down, I knew wrestling made me happy, so I returned. During my reign as champion at Rocky Mountain Pro, I felt like it was finally MY time—Rachelle Riveter was back! Then, life threw me another curveball. While prepping for a bikini competition and stepping on stage for show day, I could never have guessed I was eight weeks pregnant.

​

Once again, I stepped away. Becoming a mother was truly something I wanted, but I wasn’t expecting it to happen at that moment. Sometimes, though, life has a way of giving us blessings in disguise. On October 29th, everything changed. The moment I gave birth, I felt like a phoenix rising from the ashes. For the first time, nothing else mattered. I didn’t care about anyone else’s opinions—I was overcome with a fierce sense of protection and purpose.

​

That’s when Rachelle Riveter evolved again. I became Rachelle Riveter: The M.O.M. (Must Obey Me). Now, it’s no longer just about supporting women; it’s about showing other women what’s possible as a mom. I’m breaking the stereotypes of what motherhood should look like.

​

I brought life into this world, and I’m still standing strong. So I’ll be damned if anyone tells me what kind of mother I should be. I am the ultimate role model for my child. I am the inspiration, the creator, and the final decision-maker.
