Rhea Ripley has praise for Bianca Belair.
Rhea Ripley is on top of the wrestling world as the reigning WWE Women's World Champion, a title she's held for almost a year. Ripley will always have ties to Bianca Belair as the two women came up together in NXT and have had similar highs and lows on the main roster.
Speaking to Logan Paul on Impaulsive, Rhea was asked for her Mount Rushmore of women in WWE.
"I have to put Mami on it. I have to. Then, I'd probably go Bianca. I love Bianca. Probably Becky [Becky Lynch]. Right now, we have beef, but I'd go with Becky and my archnemesis Charlotte," she said.
Rhea elaborated on her respect for Belair when asked who is someone in WWE who she looks at as doing incredible things for the sport.
"There's a lot. Everyone is working extremely hard and in different parts of the business. Bianca is always one I look at because she not only rocks out every single week to TV and does what she needs to do and absolutely knocks it out of the park, but she does everything behind the scenes, too. She's going to all the media events. She does all the interviews. She's a very fantastic businesswoman. She is the perfect person for it. She's so well-spoken and polite and smart. I wish could articulate things the way she does. I'm not too good with the words," she said.
Ripley and Belair have shared many moments on screen, both as friends and opponents.
Ripley will defend her WWE Women's World Title against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40.
