Rhea Ripley has emerged as a clear fan favorite among the female superstars in WWE. She has demonstrated her dominance and charm as the women’s world champion and a significant member of The Judgment Day group. Ripley recently shared her thoughts on the similarities between Chyna and herself, commending the WWE Hall of Famer for her ability to surpass expectations.
Social media is a place where Ripley may sometimes let her guard down, like she did when she celebrated the great Chyna’s birthday by posting a love emoji.
Rhea Ripley remembers Chyna on a special day
Rhea Ripley didn’t miss a beat in honoring Chyna on this special day, sharing an emotional purple love emoji in her memory and joining a sea of fans in a heartfelt tribute.
Following in Chyna’s forceful footsteps, Rhea Ripley has emerged as a formidable force in WWE. Unfortunately, Chyna did not get to see her 54th birthday; she died in 2016 when she was 46 years old. While she was a part of TNA and Japan, the renowned Ninth Wonder of the World made an unforgettable impression on the wrestling industry from 1997 until 2001.
It’s necessary to start any conversation about Chyna’s impact with the word “success.” In 1999 and 2000, she achieved groundbreaking milestones as the first female wrestler to qualify for both the Royal Rumble Match and the King of the Ring Tournament. Chyna, being the first woman to hold the Intercontinental Championship twice, was truly an inspiration. Surprisingly, her final objective in WWE was to compete for the Women’s Championship, and unsurprisingly, she effortlessly emerged victorious.
Rhea Ripley on Chyna comparison
A skill that Chyna was known for and that Ripley values is her ability to work effectively with both men and women. While she takes pride in the comparison, Ripley does not deny that her association with male performers hurt the women’s category. In addition to her intense feuds with other female superstars, Rhea Ripley has boldly challenged male challengers, displaying her skills against AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, and Luke Gallows.
While recognizing the difficulties encountered by the women’s division while competing against male Superstars, the Women’s World Champion recently spoke with The West Sport, expressing her satisfaction in being likened to The Ninth Wonder of the World.
Mami said in the interview, “I don’t think getting compared to Chyna is a bad thing at all. I think it’s amazing. I’m very proud of that fact.”
