"I'm done with the laziness," "Stop making excuses" - Wrestling world lashes out at WWE over the booking of Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley has been champion for a little over two months now, and in that time, she has defended her title twice. The Eradicator's first title defense came against Zelina Vega in a match-of-the-night candidate at WWE Backlash 2023.She later defended her title against Natalya in a short bout at Night of Champions 2023. Many fans reacted negatively to the contest, as this was on The Queen of Harts' birthday, and she couldn't land any offense on Ripley.Besides the two title defenses, Ripley has been working as part of a storyline with Dominik Mysterio. The angle has seen her have altercations with several male wrestlers, including Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes.Ahead of Money in the Bank 2023, Ripley has no challenger and isn't expected to wrestle in a match. This has led to many fans sharing their frustration on Twitter regarding her recent booking.

She's been champ for over two months now and has done nothing with that title. At this point, the problem isn't creative but with Rhea Ripley herself as champion. She's had many reigns (Main roster and NXT) and none were that great BUT this is worse.@QueenMone05 @_hisnameisjon @ViperReports Stop making excuses.

Lynch is in a feud with Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark. Meanwhile, Big Time Becks has ensured that women still have the spotlight each week on WWE RAW.Andrew@bigtimeESTWWE are relying on Becky Lynch to carry the RAW Women’s Division while the actual champion, Rhea, has contributed little to nothing to the division itself since WrestleMania. Take Becky out, and that division would be dead in the water. She’s the life of the division right now.2892212WWE are relying on Becky Lynch to carry the RAW Women’s Division while the actual champion, Rhea, has contributed little to nothing to the division itself since WrestleMania.

Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes and Dominik exchanged words in a segment where Ripley was pushed to the background.MK @Razhazevil5@bigtimeEST Honestly at this point i'd take Becky winning the mitb cashing in on Rhea and Becky vs Trish at SS being for the title. Rhea is doing nothing with the title she can continue being a valet without it lol.1112@bigtimeEST Honestly at this point i'd take Becky winning the mitb cashing in on Rhea and Becky vs Trish at SS being for the title. Rhea is doing nothing with the title she can continue being a valet without it lol.There was a time when Ripley was the woman many fans believed would change the rules in WWE. But now, she has seemingly been forced to step away from the spotlight in the women's division.Rhea Ripley doesn't have a match at Money in the Bank because she has been too busy helping Dominik Mysterio in his feud with Rhodes. This means that UK fans could miss out on seeing Ripley in action when the company makes the trip to London next month.Asuka could have two potential challengers ahead of the July 1 show. On the other hand, RAW's women's division appears to be focused on Becky Lynch and the issues in Damage CTRL instead of the brand's top champion.Do you think Rhea Ripley has elevated the division in recent months?
