Current WWE Champion Was Almost Fired A Few Times

Over the last few years several WWE stars have managed to take their careers to the next level and there’s no denying that Rhea Ripley has become one of the top stars in the company.

Ripley has come a long way since she first started working with WWE, but she recently explained to The Ringer that the company considered firing her on more than one occasion.

“I was on the chopping block. I nearly got fired a few times. I don’t know if they wanted me to know that, but I did know that.”

Rhea Ripley also talked about her relationship with Bianca Belair and the future of the women’s division when she said, “I feel like Bianca and I, we are two peas in a pod, pretty much coming up in NXT together, going to war, going to the main roster pretty much, and making it into the [2021] Royal Rumble and being the last two, it was very fitting. I feel like Bianca is my person that will always be there, and we will be the new faces of the women’s division coming up. We’ve pretty much already taken over now, but once the Charlottes leave, the Beckys leave, the Bayleys leave, it’s left to us. And this is now our division. It’s fully our division, and we’re the new generation.”

The road to WrestleMania is sure to be eventful for Rhea Ripley as she’s expected to be featured in a prominent spot at Elimination Chamber in Australia next month, and it’s probably safe to say that she will compete in a marquee match at WrestleMania 40 in April.
