Former WWE writer blasts Rhea Ripley for ridiculous segment on RAW; highlights lack of seriousness (Exclusive)

Former WWE writer Vince Russo feels people should stop drawing comparisons between Rhea Ripley and Chyna.

Ripley was at ringside this week as Finn Balor and Damian Priest defended the Undisputed Tag Team Championships against The Creed Brothers. The chaos spilled to the outside as Ivy Nile and Rhea also got involved in the scuffle. Ivy showed her immense strength as she got the Women's World Champion on her shoulders.

On the latest episode of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo mentioned that the spot ruined Rhea's credibility as a powerhouse. He felt that Chyna would have started punching Ivy's exposed face instead of flailing her hands.

"If you didn't think it was a comedy act, all you had to do was look at that spot with Ivy and Rhea Ripley when she got Ripley up on her shoulders. Can you imagine Chyna doing that? That's what people don't understand. After watching that tonight, don't ever compare this girl to Chyna. Ivy's got her up on the shoulders, her face is fully exposed, Rhea is doing all this like Wilma Flintstone rather than just cracking her in the face. Don't ever make the analogy with Rhea Ripley and Chyna again. You can watch all the times Chyna was on RAW, and never once did she act like a clown." [From 5:45 onwards]
