Rhea Ripley is being promoted as one of the faces of WWE, and she is indeed one of the biggest stars of the promotion right now. She was introduced in front of the WWE audience through the inaugural Mae Young Classic, but despite not getting enough success in the tournament, she did enough to attract the WWE officials.
Rhea Ripley made her main roster debut in 2021, and soon after joining the main roster, she won the Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37. But her push was stalled as Charlotte Flair nearly buried her during her early career, and it took her a couple of years to elevate herself back to the top again.
Iyo Sky shared praise for Rhea Ripley
After winning the women's Royal Rumble match in 2023, she established herself as one of the biggest stars of the promotion, and she stands as a huge attraction of WWE today. Former two times World Champion Iyo Sky recently shared massive praise for the Australian professional wrestler, and she even said that she is not as cool as her. Speaking on the "INSIGHT" Podcast of Chris Van Vliet, she explained the following;
Rhea Ripley is a three times World Champion
“We are totally different people. She’s tall, she’s muscular, she’s so cool. I’m not as cool as Rhea Ripley; she’s super cool. I think [the great chemistry is because we are opposites], because she has muscles. I’m running fast. I’m so small, but I can flip, and she’s not much of a flipping wrestler, like so much the opposite. So that’s why I think we have great chemistry.”
Ripley and Iyo Sky are working as a tag team right now
Iyo Sky also revealed why she is not bringing back Moonsault Stomp anymore, “I don’t think so, because that is too dangerous for me. I don’t want to break my ankle again. Because actually, I broke my ankle four years ago at NXT TakeOver, I did a moonsault to the outside, and there was an announce table. I hit my toe on the announcer’s table, very, very strongly. And then, oh my gosh, I thought it was completely broken, but yeah, no bad, but broken bone.”
Rhea Ripley is presently out of the world championship picture temporarily, but we can expect her to return to the main event scene soon. She is presently working as a tag team with Iyo Sky, and the duo is working together against the evil force of the Kabuki Warriors. We can definitely expect the Australian professional wrestler to feud for the World Championship soon.
