Rhea Ripley claims major WWE stars are "taken for granted"
Rhea Ripley recently claimed that major stars have been taken for granted in WWE. The Eradicator is out of action with a fractured orbital bone and was written off WWE television on the October 29 edition of NXT.
In an interview with Jazzy's World, The Eradicator was asked about the obstacles women have had to overcome in the professional wrestling industry. The 28-year-old noted that women used to be taken for granted in the company and they have come a very long way over the years.
“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," said Ripley. [H/T: Wrestling Headlines]

Rhea Ripley reveals why she betrayed a popular WWE star in the past
WWE RAW star Rhea Ripley shared why she betrayed Liv Morgan in the past. The two stars were once in a tag team together, but have become bitter enemies on the red brand.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone in an exclusive interview, Rhea Ripley revealed why she decided to turn her back on Morgan in the past. The former champion stated that she sensed Morgan was going to betray her and wanted to get the upper hand.
"So I trusted her, until I started feeling like something bad was going to happen. I have been backstabbed by multiple partners prior to this, and I mean she has too. So we were both broken in the same ways and it was only about time that one of us were turning on the other. With us arguing, and us not getting along, and us losing our matches and her draining that killer side of me, and making me into this mushy little tag partner that she wanted, I felt like I was getting sculpted for a betrayal. So I thought I had to do it before she did."
