Steve Austin Says These Two WWE Women Are "Destined For Greatness"
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin thinks these WWE women will be "major stars" for years.
Steve Austin has told Bleacher Report that both Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley are "destined for greatness".
The WWE legend's praise should not be taken lightly. During the interview, 'Stone Cold' admitted that he doesn't watch as much of the current product as he'd like due to his busy schedule, but he's highly impressed by what he sees from Bianca and Rhea whenever he tunes in.
According to Austin, both "have the size, presence, looks and ability to be major, major stars" for many years to come. The multi-time World Champ and WWE ambassador did also say that Belair and Ripley "still need reps" before they've reached their respective career peaks.
The future is bright though.
It's interesting that Austin specifically picked out two female workers. The icon has championed WWE's women for many years, and previously cited a Bayley vs. Sasha match from NXT as one of his favourites ever - Steve also had both those ladies on his 'Broken Skull Sessions' show on WWE Network.
Belair challenges Sasha for the SmackDown Women's Title at WrestleMania 37, and Ripley will face Asuka for the Raw belt over the same weekend.
