Rhea Ripley has been unstoppable ever since winning the SmackDown Women's title at WrestleMania 39

Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion. She defeated Zelina Vega at Backlash 2023 to retain her title. She then squashed WWE veteran Natalya in seconds at Night of Champions to register another massive win.

Ripley then defeated Natalya in back-to-back SmackDown Women'sTitle matches on house shows during the weekend. Natalya had a heartfelt message for the WWE Universe shortly before meeting Ripley in Saudi Arabia. Here's what she said:

“I read — it’s hard to not see comments online, waves and waves of comments that I’ve read on Twitter and people’s podcasts and talked about it and just saying that Nattie’s not on Rhea’s level and she doesn’t have Rhea’s momentum, but I started thinking about it, and maybe they’re right, like right now I’m not on Rhea’s level I don’t have momentum, and the truth is, I’ve never been a favorite. I have never been a favorite." [H/T WrestleZone]

She then added that Rhea Ripley would respect her at Night of Champions. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way she had planned. Ripley is as dominant as she's ever been, and it remains to be seen who's next in line to challenge her for her SmackDown Women's Title.

Was the fan out of line with their accusation of the WWE official being inappropriate? Sound off!
