WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently commented on the upcoming WrestleMania match between his daughter, Charlotte Flair, and Rhea Ripley.
Last Saturday, Ripley entered the Women's Royal Rumble match at number one. The Judgment Day member competed for over an hour and outlasted 29 other competitors to win the bout and punch her ticket to WrestleMania Hollywood. On Monday Night RAW, The Eradicator announced that she has chosen to face the SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair, at this year's Show of Shows.
On the latest episode of his To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair commented on the upcoming match between The Queen and Mami.
"It's gonna be spectacular. Rhea just matured so much. I mean, God, that match they had in front of no people a couple years ago was fantastic. I can only imagine. I mean, The Queen has just gotten herself into. She's in a place, she's just plain and simply the best worker in the business in the company. And I'm sure that she and Rhea will tear the joint down. If I were the guy, I wouldn't want to follow them. And I would hope that they'd be on last," he said.

The WWE Hall of Famer also praised his daughter's WrestleMania opponent, pointing out that she is a "great singles attraction."
"[Rhea Ripley is a much bigger star now,] Yeah, phenomenal. I just had a nice talk with her in Philadelphia. I'll tell you what, though. As much as I enjoyed that group she's with... I'm really happy that she's going out on her own now again. I like that. But I mean, win, lose, or draw, I don't know if she'll stay with the group or not, but she's such a great singles attraction. And she and The Queen will just tear it down. My God, I mean I'm so excited for both of them," he added.
