Damian Priest praises Rhea Ripley and calls her the greatest female wrestler of all time.
Priest and Ripley have been stablemates for a number of months, as they have both been featured in The Judgment Day. At Wrestlemania 38, Ripley beat Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women’s Champonship.
On the May 3 episode of WWE’s The Bump, Priest was asked to comment on Ripley getting drafted first on the second night of the WWE Draft. He stated that it was a no-brainer, as he believes “The Eradicator” is the greatest female wrestler on the planet.
“As expected, as she should be. Rhea is the number one champion in the entire company right now. Rhea is, in my opinion, the all-time greatest female wrestler. I can’t think of one woman ever in the history of this business or on this planet right now that could threaten her. Nobody could dominate her. Rhea Ripley is in a class of her own, and she’s just getting started, which is crazy. I hope I get to induct her into the Hall of Fame, or at least be a part of it when that day comes. Her being the number one pick, that’s a no-brainer.”
Ripley will defend the gold against Zelina Vega at WWE Backlash. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
