Rhea Ripley's major push continues as some fans complain

As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of professional wrestling, I must say that the WarGames match at Survivor Series 2024 left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it was a spectacle to behold, filled with high-flying action and dramatic moments that only WWE can deliver. But on the other hand, the aftermath of the match has sparked an ongoing debate about the balance of power within the women’s division.

2024’s WWE Survivor Series: WarGames has passed, and opinions on its quality are divided, as is commonplace within today’s online wrestling community. A significant topic of discussion revolves around the women’s WarGames bout. Team Rhea Ripley emerged victorious, with Ripley pinning the WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan, following a table-breaking avalanche Riptide. This victory has stirred intrigue about whether Ripley is being excessively promoted by the company’s decision-makers.

In the course of the game, Ripley’s squad didn’t really find themselves in a challenging position. With Ripley being the sole woman on the team, they held an advantage all throughout the match. Add to that their roster boasting several seasoned champions, it was difficult to perceive them as the underdog.

Ripley managed to subdue Morgan, which felt like a form of “retaliation” against Morgan. In pro wrestling, pinning the current champion often leads to criticism because it’s perceived as weakening the titleholder. However, there were numerous alternatives in this match with several other women involved.

It appears that Ripley’s triumph in the match suggests she and Morgan still have unfinished business. However, this raises questions about Iyo Sky, the current number one contender who won a battle royale when Ripley was injured. Since Sky wasn’t involved in the recent victory, some speculate that WWE may not plan to have her challenge for the title again. To those closely following the content, this seems like an obvious deduction.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that despite Sky’s recent title reign, her absence from the spotlight in the women’s division since losing the belt to Bayley at WrestleMania 40 has been noticeable. Don’t get me wrong, she continues to deliver exceptional matches, which is a testament to her incredible wrestling skills. However, the current booking direction of WWE seems to suggest that it may be some time before we see Sky as world champion again, a reality that I find quite disheartening.

However, her high ranking in the division over the past few years suggests she’ll continue to maintain this position for quite some time. Her storyline with Morgan may not be perfect, but it seems to be the only one receiving significant attention on Monday Night Raw. It’s no wonder that some fans believe Ripley is receiving an excessive push at the expense of other women on the roster.

In brief, Ripley seldom loses bouts, particularly singles matches. As per Cagematch, she’s a powerful player in individual matches. Since 2022, she’s lost just twice in broadcasted single matches. The Monday Night Raw roster is brimming with skillful wrestlers like Kairi Sane, Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, and more. However, it seems these talented individuals may have to wait as Ripley continues her reign.

Some spectators are expressing concerns about Rhea Ripley consistently earning significant victories at Survivor Series: WarGames. While online discussions often exaggerate, the comparison of Ripley’s progression versus her peers on the roster deserves attention. It seems she might be evolving into a female equivalent of John Cena in the wrestling world. The pattern is familiar, and WWE should consider this trend as they continue developing her storyline.
