Backstage Reactions From WrestleMania 39 Shows the Respect Rhea Ripley Has Despite Portraying One of the Most Dark Characters on Screen

WWE superstars are not really as WWE portrays them on television. Their on-screen and in-real characters are totally different from each other. Similarly, the on-screen relationships between superstars are not the same as the off-screen ones.

That being said, fans know Rhea Ripley for being one of the top heels in the Stamford-based promotion. Her heel character doesn’t get along with others except for her stablemates. But in real life, she shares a great bond with other fellow members of the company.

WWE colleagues love Rhea Ripley

After winning the Women’s Royal Rumble, The Judgement Day member chose Charlotte Flair as her WrestleMania opponent. Last Saturday, she finally stepped inside the ring with Flair one-on-one for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship.

The 80,000+ fans of SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, witnessed The Eradicator defeat The Queen and win the SmackDown Women’s title. The title win was monumental and Ripley was over cloud nine. But she was not the only one who was happy with her victory.

A photo is circulating all around social media. It shows that people backstage also felt immense joy when they saw the Australian wrestler emerge victorious from her battle. In real life, cheering for a dark heel person is not a norm. People tend to gravitate towards positive personalities.

That is why, regardless of her on-screen character, the backstage team was incredibly happy with her win. The photo just shows how much her fellow members respect and love her.

Also, there is one more person who respects The Eradicator and her WrestleMania win. And that is none other than the woman she took the gold from
