Nattie Weighs In On The Jade Cargill/Rhea Ripley Exchange
Nattie shares her thoughts on WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill’s exchange with Rhea Ripley.
On March 2, a heated social media exchange kicked off between Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley, with Chelsea Green and Piper Niven additionally joining the fray in opposition to the WWE Women’s Champion.
Appearing on Busted Open, Nattie weighed in on the social media barbs thrown, likening the situation to previous tension between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair, and noted that the feud would make for great content on WWE Unreal.
“I think Jade loves to be a heel, and whether we love that or hate that… to me, you gotta have bad guys in wrestling because you can’t have a hero without a villain. Rhea is so respected. She’s respected in our women’s locker room… Jade loves to be a heel and I do think the industry, we need that. Whether it hurts people’s feelings or not, I do think that we need women to be heels in the presence of storylines. Now, were there lines crossed outside of that? I sometimes wonder because I’m in that locker room. I share a locker room with Rhea. When we get to TV, it gets very busy. It gets very hectic, chaotic because we’re all doing a million of our own things. So, it makes me wonder like, yeah, this does feel reminiscent of Tiffany vs. Charlotte… which we ended up watching the whole thing go down on Unreal. It did make me want to watch their match. Now, I am racing to buy a ticket to watch what’s gonna happen between Jade and Rhea. I don’t think we all have to get along. I don’t think that we all have to love each other. We do need to respect each other. That is a big thing. But listen, damn, let’s get the Unreal cameras out.”
