Former WWE star picked Rhea Ripley as the female wrestler of the year

The Eradicator enjoyed a strong 2022 that saw her join Judgment Day and become the centerpiece of the stable. She kickstarted 2023 by winning the Women's Royal Rumble match.

Speaking to Bill Apter for the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards, Matt Cardona chose Rhea Ripley as his choice for the Female Wrestler of the Year.

"I'm going to go with Rhea Ripley for that. I know she just won the 2023 Rumble and we are judging 2022. But she has stepped up her game, evolved and that's so important in this business. Just a staple of Monday nights, Friday nights, and ,wherever she shows up. To see what she has done since starting on NXT all the way to now, definitely my pick for the winner." [2:31 - 3:00]

Last month, the Australian star suffered a major loss at the Elimination Chamber when she teamed up with Finn Balor to lose to Beth Phoenix and Edge. However, she bounced back with a win on SmackDown over Liv Morgan.

At WrestleMania 39, she will look to avenge her loss to WrestleMania 36, where she was defeated by Charlotte Flair, who captured her NXT Women's Championship.
