WWE star Rhea Ripley has faced backlash for using the 'Stink Face' move during live events, particularly against Nia Jax, which some critics argue undermines the progress of women's wrestling. In response to the criticism, Ripley expressed her frustration in an interview, highlighting a perceived double standard where similar moves by male wrestlers are celebrated while hers attract negative attention. She pointed out that when other female wrestlers perform comparable acts, they receive praise rather than scrutiny. Ripley's comments have sparked discussions on gender representation in wrestling, as she defended her right to perform such moves without being criticized. The incident has ignited conversations on social media regarding the portrayal of women in the sport and the challenges they face. Despite the controversy, Ripley continues to assert her popularity and skill in the ring.
