While Rhea Ripley is one of the top names in WWE, her recent behavior has caused concern in a wrestling veteran. According to Vince Russo, the same behavior would be rewarded with fines and punishments in Vince McMahon's era.

Over the last few weeks, the storyline between Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan has picked up to the point where the two have even shared an on-screen k*ss on WWE RAW. This, of course, seems to be another ploy by Liv to taunt Rhea Ripley, who has surprisingly been silent about the latest happenings on social media. Instead, The Eradicator has been consistently uploading posts about her real-life partner, Buddy Matthews.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo expressed his thoughts on the matter and stated:

"Then Rhea Ripley is going on social media with her husband, serenading him at a fast food restuarant. What are we doing? (...)Bro if anything, that (Liv-Dom k*ss) should have happened on Monday Night, then we should have got a response from Rhea Ripley on social media. But now, we are getting Rhea Ripley, singing to her husband... If that were Vince McMahon back in the day, he would have been irate. There would have been fines, Rhea Ripley would have been in the doghouse." [1:42 onwards]

The WWE veteran has talked about Rhea Ripley's social media posts before as well

According to Vince Russo, Rhea Ripley often breaks character on social media because of her apparent need to be liked by fans in spite of playing a heel character.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW, the WWE veteran had stated Rhea had a tendency to often disregard her own on-screen character, which hurt her kayfabe storylines.

"We already saw Rhea Ripley on social media went to bat for the Dupri girl. Why is she doing that? I look at some of her social media and it is clear this is a women who wants to be liked. That’s why she went to bat for another wrestler. She completely disregarded her character."
