Rhea Ripley has been gaining recognition as a powerhouse in the WWE women’s division for quite some time now. She is strong and has the charisma to take on any woman. What has been surprising however is how easily she can take on the men as well.

Rhea has not shown any signs of fear when she had to come up against the male wrestlers and she showed it once again on this week’s SmackDown. In a match featuring Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar for which Ripley was ringside, she interfered in the match when the referee was not paying attention and laid what looked like a blue thunder bomb to Escobar on the outside.

It was a massive feat of strength and it allowed Dom to get the victory. After the match, Escobar’s valet Zelina Vega took to Twitter and called Ripley a btch. Zelina tweeted, “That btch is seriously buggin.. cuz that’s not gonna fly.”

Rhea Ripley can be the greatest

Dominik Mysterio has been learning under the tutelage of Rhea Ripley ever since he joined Judgment Day. He has been shown the tricks of the trade by Ripley and co and has gone on to become a better superstar.

In a recent interview with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Dominik went on record and said that he believes Rhea Ripley can be the greatest of all time. He said, “Man, there is no ceiling for Rhea Ripley. She’s only 26. She has no ceiling. She’s the best. What you see on TV is a mean Mami Rhea Ripley, right? But to us, the Judgment Day fam, she’s the nicest person ever.

“I don’t see why she shouldn’t be the best ever to do it in this company. She has everything as far as physique, character, the look. She’s got literally everything. So I don’t see why she shouldn’t be able to become a 15 or 16-time champion” expressed Dominik Mysterio.

Ripley is scheduled to take on Charlotte Flair for the WWE SmackDown women’s title at WrestleMania 39 after she outlasted 29 other superstars to win the Women’s Royal Rumble to book her place at the grandest stage of them all.
