Rhea Ripley On Criticism Of Stink Face Spot: Shut Up

At the March 24th WWE live event, Shayna Baszler volunteered to take the stink face from Rhea Ripley. Her volunteering as tribute came one night after Ripley performed the stink face on Nia Jax at a live event.

Some criticized Ripley for the spot, believing it was a backwards step in the women's evolution.

Speaking to DS Shin of Ring The Belle, Ripley was asked about criticism of the spot.

"Shut up. Shut up. Honestly, like, it's real funny because I get criticism for every single little thing that I do. But you see the men doing this and you're like, yeah, that looks cool, amazing. Tiffany Stratton does this the other week and they're like, oh my god, I love you, Tiffany. Oh my God, you're so sexy, please do that to me. But when I do it, there's a problem? Why? You're just mad that I'm popular, that's why," she stated.

That settles that.

Elsewhere during the interview, Ripley commented on Damian Priest being "Bisexual Undertaker." You can find her full comments by clicking here.
