Multiple female wrestlers showed support for Maxxine after this.
Here’s what Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley tweeted:
“I really wish that some of you got booed and ridiculed in the public eye while being new at your job. Learning and getting better is all apart of being human. Be better as humans.”
Former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker agreed with Rhea’s statement and responded with a “100” emoji.
Zelina Vega tweeted:
“This is absolutely horrible. She doesn’t deserve that. She’s such a kind soul and works really hard. I would love if the bad parts of the biz don’t harden her heart. They probably just mad cuz they can’t drink your bath water Maxxine.”
