SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley has become one of the most popular stars in WWE in recent months.
Rhea has stepped up to many male WWE stars in those months, including a face off with Solo Sikoa during the segment between the Judgment Day and the Bloodline.
Rhea also took part in an extremely rare intergender match against Akira Tozawa last fall, and one WWE Hall of Famer sees a lot of the Ninth Wonder of the World in Mami.
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page spoke to Inside The Ropes, where he compared Ripley to beloved WWE Hall of Famer Chyna due to her characteristic of being able to beat male wrestlers.
He said:
“Rhea she reminds me of another Chyna because she can go out there and beat guys, and I’m going to believe it because she’s that good.”
Rhea is set to defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Zelina Vega at tonight’s WWE Backlash premium live event in Puerto Rico.
