Rhea Ripley Fires Back At Fans Who Jeered Fellow WWE Star

Rhea Ripley calls out fans.

Maxxine Dupri has wrestled just 13 times since making her in-ring debut on July 3rd, 2023. The star never wrestled in NXT as she arrived on the main roster as a valet, meaning she’s very much learning on the job.

However, wrestling crowds are not known as especially forgiving places. A clip has been doing the rounds on social media of Dupri making her way backstage at a recent live event to loud jeers from the crowd, with those captured in the clip less than impressed with her performance.

However, several members of the women’s roster have come out in support of Dupri, with Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley calling on fans to be “better humans.”

“I really wish that some of you got booed and ridiculed in the public eye while being new at your job. Learning and getting better is all apart of being human. Be better as humans.”

Zelina Vega also came to Dupri’s defence, describing the actions of the fans in question as “horrible.”

“This is absolutely horrible. She doesn’t deserve that. She’s such a kind soul and works really hard. I would love if the bad parts of the biz don’t harden her heart. They probably just mad cuz they can’t drink your bath water Maxine.”

Rhea Ripley Set For Huge WrestleMania Match

Rhea Ripley recently enjoyed a huge homecoming at Elimination Chamber in Australia where she defeated Nia Jax in the main event. Earlier in the night Becky Lynch won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match to earn a shot at Ripley and the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania 40.

After the match was made the two women came face to face on Raw.
