WWE Stars slam Rhea Ripley for her WWE RAW action

During the segment, IYO Sky and Bianca Belair appeared inside the ring for the contract signing of their WrestleMania 41. As they exchanged words accompanied by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, Rhea Ripley intervened between them and claimed that it was her match to be in and that she was duped by them in the previous WWE RAW match.
The heated exchange led Rhea to take down Bianca with a headbutt and then kicked Sky and Ripley gave SKY a powerbomb onto Belair on the table. Following the attack, Ripley signed the contract to appear in the Women’s World Championship title in WrestleMania 41.
This action did not go well with several WWE stars and they have demanded a similar treatment from the company and about signing contracts for championships. As per reports, WWE stars like Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler have criticized Mami for her WWE RAW action.

In her statement, she added that she too wanted to be added to the Women's World Championship match at WrestleMania and wanted to sign contracts. Stark on her X handle wrote: “If we can just add names, can someone pass the contract over here.”

Meanwhile, Shayna Baszler has also in her statement on X criticized the act, demanding a similar opportunity to sign a contract. The WWE star said, “So, that’s a thing? We can just sign our name on whatever contract?”
Rhea Ripley’s ultimate enemy Liv Morgan also reacted to her actions. Slamming Mami, Morgan wrote, “She wanna be included so bad.”
