Ronda Rousey, a former WWE superstar, has made a shocking claim in her new book, alleging that WWE punished Rhea Ripley by not having her wrestle and instead using her as a valet for the male stars in The Judgment Day. This accusation has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, sparking concerns about the treatment of female superstars in the WWE.
Rhea Ripley, known as Mami, has been one of the biggest stars in WWE under the Triple H regime, delivering some of her best work as a member of The Judgment Day. However, many fans felt that her Women’s World Championship reign was mishandled, with too much focus on her antics with The Judgment Day rather than her in-ring prowess.
Rousey’s claim is not the only controversy surrounding Ripley’s WWE career. In her book, Rousey also revealed that Ripley and Charlotte Flair went over time by a whopping 20 minutes during their WrestleMania 39 match, which allegedly did not sit well with WWE producers. This incident, according to Rousey, led to Ripley being punished by the WWE last year.
It is unclear what the future holds for Ripley, who is currently on a hiatus due to a legitimate injury. After a successful reign as Women’s World Champion, Ripley vacated the title and Becky Lynch has since taken over as the top female star on the RAW brand.
Despite her impressive in-ring accomplishments, including a standout match against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, Ripley’s WWE career has been marked by controversy and perceived mismanagement. In 2023, Ripley herself stated that she had a target on her back as the top female star on the RAW brand, hinting at internal struggles within the WWE.
The allegations made by Ronda Rousey have sparked a larger conversation about the treatment of female superstars in the WWE and the need for greater support and recognition for these talented athletes. As the WWE continues to evolve and grow, it is crucial that they prioritize the well-being and success of their female stars, including Rhea Ripley.
