WWE star Rhea Ripley drop kicks fans critical of female wrestlers

Ripley, a three-time WWE women's champion, made it clear that toxic wrestling fans make it more difficult for women wrestlers to be taken seriously.

"YOU guys are the real reason it's so difficult to be taken seriously as a women's wrestler," she wrote on X. "If YOU put as much effort into your own miserable lives as you put into degrading successful women, then maybe you would accomplish something yourself."

WWE has also introduced midcard championships over the last few months for the first time. The Women's Intercontinental Championship is featured on "Monday Night Raw" and the Women's United States Championship is featured on "Friday Night SmackDown." Not to forget, the Women's Speed Championship, which is featured on X during the week.

The women's wrestling scene will only pick up from here.
