Damian Priest recently spoke about Rhea Ripley's rise in WWE

Over the last few months, Rhea Ripley has established herself as one of the top stars in the WWE women's division.

She started her 2023 by winning the Women's Royal Rumble Match. In a recent interview on FOX News, Ripley's Judgment Day stablemate Damian Priest spoke highly of her. He said:

"That’s my homie. Man, I’m so proud of her. What I see is the cuffs are off. There’s nothing holding her back. She’s just letting loose. People who know her but are close to her like myself, we knew that she had this other side that, even as much as she accomplished, the WWE Universe and even her peers hadn’t seen everything Rhea could give."

The former WWE United States Champion further discussed how Ripley had elevated her game to the next level. Priest continued:

"And I don’t think she has yet, but she’s definitely letting loose, and we’re getting to see a whole new level of Rhea Ripley. She’s earning everything and I can’t wait to see her just take everything that she deserves."

This coming Friday on SmackDown, Ripley will finally come face-to-face with Charlotte Flair ahead of their title match at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
