Rhea Ripley says Giulia ‘hasn’t been given many big opportunities in WWE yet’
Weeks after facing Giulia on WWE SmackDown, Rhea Ripley has now shared her thoughts on Giulia’s current WWE run.
Speaking to Shak Wrestling, Ripley opened up and believed that, despite Giulia’s years of experience, she has not yet been given big opportunities in WWE.
“You go back, and you watch my match with Giulia. Giulia is new to the main roster, but she’s been at this for a long time. But she hasn’t been given many big opportunities in WWE yet. Yes, she might be the [United States] Champion, but she also hasn’t been given long matches on the main roster and that spotlight to really show that she can shine,” Ripley said.
A two-time WWE Women’s United States Champion, Giulia currently finds herself excluded from the WrestleMania 42 card. In the same interview with Shakiel Mahjouri, Ripley claimed that she wanted to “bust her a**” and make Giulia look good.
“So I’m gonna go out there, I’m gonna bust my ass, and try and make her look good. And hopefully that opens up some more opportunities,” Ripley concluded.
While Giulia has no scheduled WrestleMania 42 match to her name, Ripley is set to face Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship.
