The Undertaker Commends Rhea Ripley
WWE legend and Hall of Famer, The Undertaker, recently showered praise on Rhea Ripley, emphasizing her potential and growth in the wrestling industry.
During an appearance on the Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker reflected on Ripley’s remarkable journey, noting her dominance in the WWE women’s division over the past year. He expressed his belief that Ripley is only beginning to realize her full potential, stating:
“She’s [Rhea Ripley] really coming into her own! She’s obviously had a nice year, but I think she’s only scratched the surface of how good she’s going to be.”
Ripley’s impressive championship reign commenced at WrestleMania 39, where she defeated Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Following the transition to the Women’s World Championship, Ripley continued to showcase her prowess until her unfortunate injury.
With Ripley sidelined, Becky Lynch emerged victorious in a Women’s Battle Royal Match, becoming the new Women’s World Champion. However, anticipation remains high for Ripley’s return, with the possibility of a rematch against Lynch looming once she recovers from her injury.
