Rhea Ripley is one of the best stars in the women's division. Hence, a rising star has picked her as one of her favorite wrestlers.
Since arriving in WWE in 2021, Tiffany Stratton has been heading to new heights. In NXT, it didn't take long for her to establish herself as the top female star and win the Women's Title.
When she got called up to the main roster earlier this year, she still managed to distinguish herself from her peers and was instantly one of the fan-favorite stars. Stratton even won the Money in the Bank briefcase, almost guaranteeing that she will be a women's champion in the future.
During a recent interview with Jazzs World TV, Tiffany Stratton was asked to name her top five favorite stars. Surprisingly, she named Ripley among others on the list of her all-time favorites. This comes as a bit of a surprise since Stratton is a heel, and Rhea is a babyface. The two women even recently had a confrontation on RAW before they teamed up together.
"We're going to name Trish Stratus obviously, Charlotte Flair. Going to have to go with Rhea Ripley. I love me some Rhea Ripley. I love me some Sable back in the day and Kelly Kelly." [6:15 - 6:33]

Rhea Ripley is currently out of action due to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
Rhea Ripley has been involved in a feud with Liv Morgan for this past year. Morgan has been hell-bent on making Mami's life miserable as part of her revenge tour.
On the October 29 episode of NXT, Rhea made a surprise appearance only to be attacked by Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in the parking lot. WWE later confirmed that Ripley had suffered a broken orbital bone injury the previous week and would be out of action for now.
It was later reported that the injury was, in fact, legitimate, with no exact timetable on when the former Women's World Champion would make her return to the ring. However, the Stamford-based promotion has big plans for her at WrestleMania 41 and is hopeful that she will return by then.
It will be interesting to see what will happen to Liv and Raquel once The Eradicator makes her return from injury.
