Rhea Ripley has the presence and ability to be the face of women’s wrestling for this generation. She can take the flame that the Four Horsewomen started, which has since been passed to Bianca Belair, and build that for years to come.

It’s so easy to forget that Ripley is so young, even in the amount of time she has been with the WWE. Her run on NXT was nearly perfect, but that same momentum did not follow her to the main roster. It seemed like the company leadership didn’t know what to do with her, but thankfully that mistake was corrected as she slowly became the focal point of The Judgement Day. Now, she’s finally got another singles championship around her waist and it appears like the company is ready to give her the run that she deserves.
