Rhea Ripley is currently one of the most promising young Superstars in WWE

Rhea Ripley is currently just 24-years-old, and already has a bunch of major accomplishments in her bag. Ripley is a former NXT UK and NXT Women's Champion. She defeated Shayna Baszler on the December 18, 2019, edition of WWE NXT, to win her NXT Women's title.

Rhea Ripley was featured in a marquee match against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36, which she unfortunately lost. Ripley had a strong showing in the 2021 Royal Rumble match. She was the final competitor to be thrown out, by the eventual winner Bianca Belair. Here's Rhea talking about Charlotte's short-lived reign in NXT, following The Queen's big WrestleMania win last year:

"To be completely honest, I didn't mind it. I thought it was something different and something new, which is always good to have. I think a lot of people learnt from Charlotte and, we're still learning each and every time we step in the ring."

Rhea Ripley has a long road ahead of her, and Bayley has a lot left in the tank as she is just 31-years-old. It's safe to say that we will see these two Superstars collide in the ring sometime in the future.
