The WWE Universe isn’t happy with Rhea Ripley’s reign as the SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Ripley won the title at WrestleMania 39 by dethroning Charlotte Flair. Following her historic win, she defended the title against Zelina Vega at Backlash and beat Natalya at Night of Champions.
Taking to Twitter, fans expressed how disappointed they were with Ripley’s title reign. Some members of the WWE Universe suggested that it wasn’t the champion’s fault, instead the booking has let her down.

Rhea Ripley revealed her reaction to being informed that she was entering the Women’s Royal Rumble at #1
Earlier this year, Rhea Ripley won the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, and she did so by entering at number one spot. This led to her challenging Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Speaking on a recent episode of Mark Andrews’ My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, The Eradicator revealed that she received a message where she was asked about her fitness and cardio.
She was shocked by the idea of entering the Rumble in the number one spot and winning the entire match.
“Maybe two nights before [Royal Rumble], I got a message and it said, ‘How’s your cardio?’ Like what do you mean how’s my cardio? I’ve been a manager for the last few months,” Rhea said. “But it was crazy. When they finally told me, I was like, ‘You’re joking, right?’ I think I could do it because adrenaline is a powerful thing. But at the same time, I’m going no, like if I’m going to be able to make it.”
Ripley is currently on the back of a dominant win over Natalya, whom she defeated in Saudi Arabia within 69 seconds. Her next challenger for the SmackDown Women’s Title is yet to be revealed.
The 26-year-old is currently on Monday Night RAW despite being a champion of the blue brand.
