10 Stupidest Things WWE Superstars Have Done In 2021 (So Far)
7. Rhea Ripley Loses Her Own Challenge To Nikki Cross
Part one of a three part tragedy.
Rhea Ripley's main roster run so far has been a throwback to the NXT callbacks of old in that people are genuinely disappointed to see how badly she's being used on the main roster. This is good for the reputation of the black-and-gold brand (in that it rebuilds a mythical distinction between the two sides) and awful for everybody else. Especially Ripley and all her fans.
She's neither heel nor face, nor experienced or a rookie, but is the Raw Women's Champion trapped in a heatless feud having won it in another one. She's also a buffoon, because in completely ignoring the fairly straightforward parameters set out in her Beat The Clock battle with Nikki Cross and forgetting to wrap things up in 120 seconds or less, she undermined herself further.
Luckily for her, everybody else would too. This is the worst storyline on WWE television, and on WWE television a guy can't speak because another one locked his mouth shut with an invisible key.
