@@raineetoneme Backlash, Rhea beat Zelina. Night of Champions, Rhea beat Natalya. RAW, 3rd July, Rhea beat Natalya again. Payback, Rhea beat Raquel. Then beat her again on RAW, 11th Sept, in a rematch. Crown Jewel, Rhea was in a fatal five-way match against Jax, Rodriguez, Stark and Baszler, who she pinned to win. Survivor Series War Games, Rhea defeated Stark. RAW, 1st Jan, Rhea beat Ivy Nile. Elimination Chamber, Rhea defeated Nia. Night 1 of MW40, Rhea defeated Becky Lynch. All title matches where Rhea retained her title. All title matches Rhea fought in the 12 months from WM39 to WM40. But fools are still ALWAYS ridiculously claiming that Rhea supposedly didn't defend her title very much, because they were clearly taking no notice. Too busy hating Rhea to see what she was actually doing. Or they expect title holders to have title matches every week or something. Which would make the value of the title worthless.

After an NXT house show in Buffalo NY in 2020, Rhea stayed out in the freezing cold for atleast 45 minutes to take pics and sign autographs with fans, even jumped over the barricade to take a pic with a disabled fan in a wheelchair. To this day it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen a wrestler do! She’s awesome!

I love Rhea Ripley. She's the reason why I got back into watching the WWE after about 17-18 years of not being interested in it anymore. I love how she's being true to herself and not caring at all about people who may not like who she is and what she's all about. And she's very proud to be who she is, too. It's so amazing to see someone in their 20's who has been able to recognise that we don't all have to be liked and loved by everybody. Rhea will always be on top for me. 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

Rhea in her early years was... if you play a WWE 2k game, the generic female wrestler template. Probably one of the premade designs you can quick-pick for the story, etc Now, she is the face of the female div for me! She isn't a legend in the industry yet, but I am sure she will be someday. She's only getting better and better and will be a HoF inductee (but that's still years to come) esp her entrance with MiW? "This is my brutality" and her purple lights? remember that comeback while Dom and Liv were fooling around? at least the entrance and impact to the crowd is on the same level as Stone Cold and the breaking glass, Undertaker's gong and lights going off.. 😍🥰

I'm sure everyone knows that habitual liar that is always reaffirming "they hate liars"

Rhea was simply telling the interviewer why she wanted to stop pretending to be something that she wasn't, just to try and fit in with the WWE. Like she didn't like herself for trying to be different just to fit in. And how she wanted to start to be more like her true self. Rhea said NOTHING about hating liars. So, I don't know why you're bringing such words into this, as if to use it against Rhea and are accusing her of being a "habitual liar".

@@mebeme007 She was getting her tattoos before Rhea joined the WWE. There was a whole issue on total divas because she got a tat and didn't tell Creative. She had to hide it because they already had her figures out. Paige was young and very reckless, often not thinking through her actions in relationships. Hence her struggles in the company. She has more tattoos now but she started getting them then before Ruby was on the main roster.

@@ttjc3696 Well, Rhea never said that she only noticed Ruby once Ruby was on the main roster. And she never said Paige didn't have any tattoos. Rhea simply said that Ruby was the first one she looked at that had tattoos AND short hair. The mold that Rhea was referring to, of being pretty with no tattoos, all having long hair, etc. After all, Rhea was talking about hair length as well. NOT just only talking about tattoos and which female supposedly got the first tattoo in the WWE.
@jediD20Ай бұрын
Growing up in the attitude era as the WWE bought off WCW, As a young 12 year old boy, I never cared about how pretty a female wreslter look (Although my hormones said otherwise), I just look up to the most athletic female wrestlers that go out everyday to put their bodies on the line for our entertainment. My favorite wrestler was Chyna when she was in DX. My favorite overall female wrestlers are Beth Phonix, ODB(TNA), Awsome KHAN, Jordyn Grace(Both Dummy thick and Roids), Rhonda Rousey, Jade cargill, Willow Nightinggale, and Rhea Ripley herself. Anyone else(Trish Stattus, Lita and Daphine of WCW can be a bit of an exception) are just pretty girl wrestlers who have no personality and used their looks. I wanna thank Triple H in making the woman's division of today more about athleticism over using s** to sell their brand. I love today's woman's division more than even the attitude era of woman from the 2000s.
