Rhea Ripley has been active in WWE for the last 8 years, and no doubt she is one of the rockstars of the promotion right now. She was introduced to the WWE audience through the Mae Young Classic tournament. After her defeat in this tournament, she was given a break to work in the NXT UK, which was one of the developmental territories of WWE.
She made her main roster debut in 2021 after having an excellent run in the developmental territories of WWE. She was greeted with the women's Championship title, which she won at WrestleMania 37 by defeating Asuka. But her main event push was stalled once she faced Charlotte Flair.

Recently, she talked about the most underrated star in WWE right now, according to her, when she spoke to SPORTbible. Here is what the former World Champion Rhea Ripley has to say;
Rhea Ripley believes Candice LeRae is the most underrated wrestler of WWE right now
“It’s hard to like pinpoint anyone specifically, but I feel like there’s a lot, especially like in the women’s division. There are so many women that I know are so amazing at what they do, and they don’t get enough TV time or the opportunities to really show everyone what they can do.”
Candice LeRae is presently active on SmackDown
“Like someone that I love is Candice LeRae, and going through NXT with her and seeing how her brain works and how she goes out there, and she’s like the vet in the ring. She really knows what to do, and she keeps everyone calm, and she’s got ideas. And it’s just like I wish that someone like her would get more of an opportunity.” said Rhea Ripley.
Candice LeRae was brought into WWE from the independent circuit, where she was extremely successful, but she has never been promoted as the top star in the main roster of WWE. Presently, she is active in Friday Night SmackDown, where she mostly works as the valet of the famous Tag Team DIY.
