Rhea Ripley is not afraid of anybody. Be it men or women, she is ready to go against anyone and everyone in the WWE Division. Her fierce nature makes her one of the most dangerous female athletes to step inside the ring.

The Australian female pro wrestler debuted on the main roster in March 2021. And within a month, she made her way to the top of the ladder after defeating The Empress of tomorrow, Asuka, and capturing the WWE Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37.

Ripley is a force to reckon with, and renowned celebrities such as Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jeff Dye are very much aware of that.
