They are largely popular, but there are rather vocal segments of the wrestling fanbase that will give them shit for pretty well any reason. Claiming they aren't talented because they aren't attractive. Claiming they aren't talented because they are attractive, and thus only maintain popularity as eye candy. Claiming that female wrestlers in general are inferior athletes to male ones. Claiming that they don't work as hard in their matches, and then when they do turn in great matches, concern trolling over them hitting hard or bleeding (even though they'd never do that to the guys). Just the usual thinly veiled misogyny you see online in a lot of quarters
Nyla Rose (the one who made the comments about "half of you don't think I'm talented because you don't find me attractive") does get it worse than a lot of women wrestlers do, but the lion's share of that is due to transphobia.
Hmm, doesn't sounds that much different than women in gaming or other sports, sadly
On another note, dang she's trans? She looks so great :D
Yeah, she does. And she is very talented.
