Rhea Ripley has been active in WWE since 2017 and is one of the biggest names of the promotion right now. She was introduced to the WWE Universe through the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament. She could only reach the second round of the tournament. Soon, she got the opportunity to sign a professional contract with WWE and started working in the NXT UK.
NXT UK was the UK based developmental territory of WWE, which no longer exists. After having a successful run in the NXT UK, she transitioned to the NXT, and in 2021, she joined the main roster for the first time. At WrestleMania 37, she defeated Asuka to win the World Championship soon after making her main roster debut.
Bryan Danielson praised Rhea Ripley
But her big push was stalled when she had an early feud with Charlotte Flair. In 2023, she regained her main event push with her Royal Rumble win, and presently, she is one of the top stars of the promotion. AEW star Bryan Danielson, who was famously known as Daniel Bryan in WWE, recently shared praise for Rhea Ripley while appearing on ”Wrestle Radio Australia.” He said;
Rhea Ripley is presently active on Monday Night RAW
“It’s not just in AEW. Obviously, I’m here to promote AEW and the shows we have coming forward, but when you look at Rhea Ripley and how big of a star she’s become within WWE, it’s not just an AEW thing. There is clearly something here.
She is not in the World title picture right now
"It takes time for a system like that to develop, where you realize, ‘Okay, there is something going on there, and now we’re starting to see the fruits of that.’ Then, what does that look like in five to ten years?” said the former WWE world champion Daniel Bryan, who has been active in All Elite Wrestling since 2021 as Bryan Danielson.
Ripley is presently active on Monday Night RAW, and she is already a three times WWE Women's World Champion. She is one of the biggest attractions of WWE right now, and we can definitely expect her to win more World titles in the future. Ripley can also be considered the biggest name from Australia to ever work in WWE.
