Is This WWE Star "The All-Time Greatest Female Wrestler"?
One WWE wrestler showered another with serious praise recently. Do you agree?
Damian Priest has called Judgment Day stablemate Rhea Ripley "the all-time greatest female wrestler" in WWE or industry history.
It's worth noting that Priest was on WWE's 'The Bump' when he made that statement, so he was likely in character. However, Damian did elaborate by saying he's not sure anybody past or present could match up with what Rhea brings to the table physically.
He said she's "in a class of her own".
Ripley recently won the SmackDown Women's Title from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 (which was revenge for 2020's NXT Title showdown), but then WWE announced she'd be staying put on Raw during the 2023 Draft. That didn't make sense to many, and shows a lack of foresight from the promotion right before sorting out who was going where with the brand split.
Now, WWE will probably have to book an unwanted belt swap angle with Rhea and current Raw Women's Champ Bianca Belair. Yes, Belair was moved to SmackDown despite holding the red strap.
Priest doesn't care about any of that. He reckons Rhea is the best of all time, and that's very much that.
