Ronda Rousey’s autobiography sheds light on a potential consequence for Rhea Ripley’s performance at WrestleMania 39.
Ripley and Charlotte Flair’s SmackDown Women’s Championship match was a show-stealer, exceeding its allotted time by 20 minutes. While some backstage personnel criticized the decision, Rousey admired their commitment to telling their story.
What Does It Mean
According to Rousey, Ripley and Flair ignored instructions to wrap it up, prioritizing the quality of their match. However, Rousey suggests this defiance came at a cost.
Rousey claims Ripley, despite being very popular, only defended the title twice in five months after winning. She spent more time accompanying the Judgment Day stable than wrestling herself. This could be interpreted as a punishment for going against orders at WrestleMania.
Both Ripley and Flair are currently injured, so it remains to be seen if this situation will be addressed upon their return
It’s important to note that this is just Ronda Rousey’s perspective. WWE hasn’t commented on the situation, and there could be other reasons for Ripley’s booking. However, Rousey’s claims raise questions about potential consequences for wrestlers who disobey instructions.
Fans will be eager to see how Ripley and Flair are treated upon their return. Will they be back in the spotlight, or will this incident continue to affect their booking? Only time will tell.
