WWE Star Says She "Gets" Fan Perception Of The Women's Tag Titles
This former champ understands why fans are frosty on those WWE Women's Tag belts.
Rhea Ripley understands why wrestling fans have soured on the Women's Tag-Team Titles.
The former Raw Women's and Women's Tag Champion told 'Under The Ring' that she's looking forward to changing that perception at WrestleMania 38. There, Ripley teams with Liv Morgan to challenge reigning champs Queen Zelina and Carmella (the match, which also involves Sasha Banks and Naomi, is a three-way).
According to Rhea, WWE's approach of "very, very quick" matches and the fact that the belts "don’t really get good positions on the show" is to blame for why fans sh*t all over the titles. She'd like to make the straps mean something, but Ripley clearly knows she's swimming against the tide there.
Vince McMahon hasn't been interested in these things for a long time now.
Rhea agreed that most folks "look down" on the Women's Tag Titles. She sees a ton of negative comments on Twitter and Instagram about them, and knows that it'll be a struggle to change that perception with one match. Even so, Ripley wants to try.
"I love the tag titles, I love tag wrestling - I love everything about it. We just have to remind everyone how much they love it as well. That’s what we’re trying to do".
