Rhea Ripley spoke about some of the obstacles placed in front of female athletes by WWE in a recent interview.
Ripley has been out of the game with a broken orbital since late last month. She said that women’s matches have long been considered “toilet breaks” and they’ve struggled to be taken serious.
Ripley said
“The women of WWE, we have come a long, long way. We’ve overcome many obstacles and the growth has been increasing every year. I think the biggest hurdle was getting people to take us seriously. People joked for a long time about us being the toilet breaks, which was just plain disrespectful. Especially when the women went out there and we left everything we had out in the ring. We go just as hard and as hard as the males do, so don’t be disrespectful to us. We’re showing people that we can go as hard as men, if we don’t go harder.”
Ripley said in the interview that many female WWE performers find it difficult to start a household due to the constraints of their career.
Ripley continued:
“Motherhood is taken away from a lot of us for a very long time. I’m young, but I have a demanding job at WWE. I won’t be able to have children for at least the next five to ten years, as I don’t wish to put them through the stress of traveling and having to take them with me. I’m not very good at it, but you can look at someone like Becky Lynch who has a child and returned and is still a badass. She is herself, and she is a great mom while she does this. She takes Roux on tour every now and again and she is absolutely killing it. “But yeah, we do get a lot taken from us or pushed, and I don’t think people realize that.”
Ripley has not set a date for her return to WWE. The injury happened just weeks after reports that Ripley and WWE had reached a long-term agreement. Ripley missed three months of action earlier this year due to a shoulder injury. She was forced to give up the Women’s World Championship.
