Rhea Ripley Sick Of Disrespect For WWE’s Women

Rhea Ripley has explained the key obstacle the women of WWE have had to overcome as she hits out at the disrespect suffered in the past.

Women’s wrestling in WWE has come a long way over the last decade, with a women’s evolution helping elevate female talent to the same level as the men in the company. Something that at one point looked like would never happen.

Since then, Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair became the first women ever to headline WrestleMania in 2019. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced the introduction of a new women’s title to debut in the company as the women’s division continues to gain parity with the men.

Rhea Ripley Fed Up Of Disrespect For WWE’s Women

Speaking to Jazzy’s World TV, Rhea Ripley – who has become undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in WWE, male or female – explained what the women in the company have had to overcome:

Being taken for granted, I think. The women in WWE, we’ve come a very, very long way. We’ve overcome a lot of obstacles that were put in the way, and it’s been growing each and every year. I think that was the biggest obstacle just getting people to sort of take us seriously.

For the longest time, people joked about us being the toilet break, which is just plain disrespectful, especially when the women go out there and we leave everything that we have out in the ring, and we go just as hard as the men do. So don’t treat us with that disrespect, so we’re making people realize that we can go just as hard as the men if not harder.

Rhea Ripley is currently out of action with a broken orbital bone that is being attributed to a brutal parking lot carried out by Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
