WWE Stars Rhea Ripley, Bron Breakker, and Rey Mysterio Star in Hilarious TurboTax Commercial—And Fans Are Loving It!
Taxes can be frustrating for just about anyone—but imagine a group of WWE superstars tackling tax season. That’s exactly what happened in a recent video featuring Rey Mysterio, Rhea Ripley, and Bron Breakker, who hilariously showcased their struggles with paperwork in a dramatic, over-the-top, and very WWE way.
The promotional video, posted by Rey Mysterio himself, quickly went viral among WWE fans. The three superstars played exaggerated versions of themselves, each dealing with tax-related stress in a way that perfectly matched their wrestling personas. The ad also promoted TurboTax, an online tax-filing service, as the solution to their mounting frustrations.
The Chaos Begins: WWE Superstars Vs. Taxes
The video opens with Rey Mysterio sitting at his desk, trying to file his taxes the old-fashioned way—with stacks of paper, a calculator, and a fax machine (yes, really). As he punches in numbers, an error message flashes on the screen, causing him to let out a deep sigh of frustration.
Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley is seen waiting impatiently at another desk, staring at her unfinished tax forms with a look of sheer exhaustion. As minutes tick by, her frustration builds—her powerful presence and dark, brooding energy making it clear that taxes aren’t just annoying… they’re her worst enemy.
And then there’s Bron Breakker, known for his brute strength and short temper inside the ring. The powerhouse wrestler is seen flipping through a pile of seemingly endless forms. With each page, his anger grows until—BAM!—he slams his fists onto the table, breaking it in half.
The scene quickly escalates when Mysterio, already at his limit, finally loses his patience with the stubborn fax machine. In a fit of rage, he picks it up and throws it out of the window—a classic, dramatic move fitting of the WWE legend.
The exaggerated frustration and destruction set the tone for the entire ad, making it clear that even the toughest WWE superstars can’t handle the stress of doing their taxes alone.
A Game-Changing Revelation: Enter TurboTax
Just as chaos peaks, the three wrestlers receive an important message—a video pops up on their screens explaining the benefits of TurboTax. The ad within the ad shows how TurboTax can simplify the filing process, eliminate confusion, and ensure that tax season goes smoothly.
Suddenly, the mood shifts. Mysterio, Ripley, and Breakker watch intently as the video explains that they don’t have to do their taxes alone. The relief is instant—the tension in the room fades, and for the first time, the wrestlers seem calm.
Ripley, previously slumped over in frustration, sits up straight and nods in approval. Mysterio, who had just hurled a fax machine out of his window, smiles in realization. Even Breakker, despite his aggressive nature, pauses and takes a deep breath—as if finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
But, of course, this wouldn’t be a true WWE-style video without one last moment of destruction.
Just when it seems that everything is settled, Breakker—still filled with adrenaline—suddenly smashes the tablet he was watching the TurboTax video on. The screen shatters, and he lets out a victorious roar.
Mission accomplished.
