Rhea Ripley recently took to social media to express her frustration with the toxic criticism aimed at women’s wrestling. In a scathing post, Mami called out fans who blame female wrestlers for their own struggles while tearing down their success. She highlighted the baseless speculation she faces whenever she achieves something significant — including accusations of favoritism and personal relationships.

A reaction like this only highlighted the toxicity involved with the wrestling fan base towards female superstars. Taking to X, The Eradicator shared an unfiltered post, addressing the hypocrisy of some wrestling fans. Ripley emphasized that this kind of double standard is exactly why women’s wrestling continues to struggle for respect.

Women’s wrestling fan – “women deserve better” (Same breath) – “she’s sleeping with her boss that’s why she’s where she is” – “She should retire” – “She doesn’t deserve it” – “She’s handed everything and never worked for anything” – “I hope she gets injured” YOU guys are the real reason it’s so difficult to be taken seriously as a women’s wrestler. 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.

Ripley revealed that some people go as far as hoping she gets injured whenever she finds success in the company, adding to her growing frustration. Addressing the toxicity, Mami advised these fans to stop obsessing over successful women and instead focus on improving their own lives. The former Women’s World Champion has been garnering a lot of buzz on the internet since she posted this message.

Moreover, toxic fans have long been a part of professional wrestling, but their behavior should never be normalized or encouraged. Recently, WWE legend John Cena also encountered a toxic fan who threw a plastic bottle at his face during an appearance. In that context, Ripley’s message feels especially timely. It remains to be seen how this outspoken stance will impact her on-screen persona moving forward.
