Rhea Ripley Comments on “WWE Women Have Overcome A Lot Of Obstacles That Were Put In The Way”

Jazzy World TV held a recent interview with Rhea Ripley. One of the topics discussed included Ripley’s thoughts about what obstacles women have had to overcome in WWE to find bigger success for their wrestling careers.

“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 and 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 don’t treat us with that disrespect so we’re making people realize that we can go just as hard as the men and if not harder.”
