WWE's Rhea Ripley Believes Charlotte Flair Gets A Lot Of Unfair 'Cr*p' On Social Media

Rhea Ripley has hailed the confidence and ability of Charlotte Flair, saying she doesn't understand why she gets 'a lot of cr*p' on social media.

While Flair's ability and athleticism in the ring is undeniable, with millions worldwide supporting the multiple-time Women's Champion, a section of the WWE fanbase regularly accuse her of hogging the spotlight and standing in the way of other WWE superstars getting opportunities.

With Ripley set to defend the Raw Women's Championship against Flair at Money In The Bank on Sunday, Ripley has defended her opponent.

Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “She is absolutely incredible with what she does, and I think she holds herself together very well. Charlotte gets a lot of cr*p on the internet, and I know a lot of us do, which is something I don’t understand too much.

“I don’t understand why people have to be so rude on social media, especially when we work for WWE… people get confused with how we act in our own lives and how we act on tv. They take it out on us, and I don’t think that’s very fair.

"As a colleague, I love being in the ring with Charlotte and I definitely do learn a lot from her. I know that she gets so much stuff on social media, and I don’t think that’s fair whatsoever. Like I said, she pulls herself together very well and is a very confident individual – that is something that I really look up to.

"It impresses me knowing how much she goes through; how strong she is and how much she doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinion. I think that is fantastic.”
