[8.0] "If you are attacking female sex appeal in wrestling... you have not been watching wrestling long enough to understand that the women enjoy it. Rhea Ripley is a case example for this. She walks out; delivers the eye candy and doesn't mope and cry about her body being exposed. This is a provocative business and Rhea swims in it with a smile on her face and then backs it up in the ring every single time she performs."
Raditz Flair wrote on 18.07.2026:
[4.0] "She has regressed so much in the last few years. In the ring especially. All of her aura when she was on the rise is all gone. She trade in a bad ass gimmick to some weird sleazy sex pot and then decided she didn't need to wrestle anymore. If this were 2021 She's be a 9. Her and Becky Lynch have regressed so much over the years and I could come up with any guess as to why. In baseball it's called the yips. A mental block that causes you make mistakes on things you never did before."

[8.0] "I have a very problematic time with Rhea Ripley, because noting her is weird. She's completely over with the crowd, she could probably come at the ring, say "Hello" and walk back, people would be happy. But her in-ring is weird, she isn't like anything we saw in women's wrestling, so I have nothing to compare out of. What I can say is that, she isn't delivering weekly masterpiece but her matches are consistently good. As for her promos, it's not bad but it's not good."
PWC wrote on 15.05.2026:
[8.0] "She's proven herself with changing her look and knows how to work a match. She has good play style, charisma and tries to mix things up, every time she wrestled. It's not always a home run with her matches, she has bad matches from time to time but, she's fun to watch. She has good strength, good speed and doesn't try to stick with the same match to follow over and over again. Always tries something new out in every match, major or minor or not. Has some stinker matches and she's just OK at best on the mic. Should give her a 7 but, she's carries herself like a star and I'll bump her up to an 8."

Her match against Charlotte at WM 39 and the Triple Threat Opener with Iyo and Belair at WM 41 are among the best women's matches in WWE history and easily the two best women's matches in WrestleMania for me. Her mic work is great and her ring work is very good as well. Very popular with the fans, even as a heel."

[10.0] "I honestly think Rhea Ripley is one of WWE last big megastars They're made in a while. The crowd always pops for her and for her entrance. Do I think she will ever go to Hollywood and become and even bigger star? Maybe I do generally believe she loves what she is doing right now. Her reigns as world champion were questionable at best but she has had some amazing matches with the likes of Charlotte Flair Iyo Sky Bianca Blair and Becky Lynch. Hell her matches with Nia Jax have been good. I personally believe that WWE should put their women division for main event scene in next couple years because of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky"
FranelloLore wrote on 17.03.2026:
[10.0] "Rhea Ripley has completely evolved past the simplistic labels that used to define her early career. Calling her a powerhouse completely oversimplifies her supreme athleticism, and frankly, she is not even really a powerhouse anymore. Since returning from her injury, she has successfully transitioned into a highly effective hybrid mercenary type in the ring. She seamlessly blends high-level speed, incredible agility, and raw physical power into a tremendously cohesive and dangerous style. Her footwork is precise, her pacing is excellent, and she knows exactly when to explode into high-gear offense. This evolution shows a deep understanding of ring psychology and a commitment to continuous growth as a performer. She commands attention the second she appears and backs up every ounce of her presentation with flawless execution. She is a total package operating at the absolute pinnacle of the industry."
[9.0] "I wish I could give her a 10, but her promo skills are just not good at all. It feels like she says the exact same thing on repeat and they don't come out giving babyface vibes either. Everything else she's as good as you could want someone to be. She's very good in the ring and has a ton of charisma."

[8.0] "Rhea has many great things about but also some drawbacks that drag her down a bit. First the positives. Her in ring work is fantastic. My 3 favorite main roster woman's matches of all time are Rhea vs Charlotte, Rhea vs Bianca vs Iyo and Rhea vs Iyo. The constant here is Rhea Ripley. Second she has great aura. She gets the loudest crowd reaction of the night in the woman's division. However despite these positives there are drawbacks. First she's not great on the mic. I can't remember the last time I heard a Rhea promo and said that was good. Second she very rarely has a good storyline. Most of this on the booker but I actually partially blame Rhea here because she's not great at talking and her charisma to elevate things just isn't there. I also have other issues with Rhea that are not her fault. First she barely wrestles. Second her booking in 2024-2025 was painfully frustrating. She was in the world title scene for all of eternity and that was so frustrating. She finally left the world title scene after Summerslam thankfully and formed a cool tag team with Iyo. That's why I'm totally cool with her feuding for a world title with Jade because I'm glad she had a break. Overall I really like Rhea but she definitely isn't an all star in all departments."
Wolverine3187 wrote on 10.03.2026:
[9.0] "Overall Rhea is fantastic. She's great at selling and shows great emotion and facial expressions over the course of a match. Her moveset fits her character very well. Has a great look and lots of natural charisma. Her biggest weakness is on the mic. She's cut some good promos in the past, but she's pretty average at it overall. She's still young though and will get better."

[9.0] "Very good wrestler, in-ring she's almost as good as they get, she's an excellent seller and has a very fitting move-set to her look. That being said Ripley has a great look, and honestly always had. The entrance, the music, the character it's almost always worked. The only part of her game that needs work is her mic work. Her promos are typically very average and robotic sounding, I don't believe a lot of what she says especially as a babyface. As a heel her work is usually a lot better, but let's be honest being a great heel in today's day and age is easier than being a babyface. That being said that good majorly outweighs the bad, Rhea is one of the best in the industry. 8.5/10"

[4.0] "I have not been a fan of her booking for several years now, and feel like she has not really given us much depth in relation to her character either. It feels like a lot of the same. She constantly gets things handed to her, and is not always the best in the ring or on the mic. I feel that she is adequate, but she doesn't usually impress me much during matches or promos. I wish we would see a different side to her."

[10.0] "Rhea Ripley is, and will always remain my favorite professional wrestler ever. She is what got me into this sport. I also choose a perfect wrestler to love because she is the whole package as a performer. Her in ring abilities, her power, her presence, her star power, and character work is all absolutely incredible. She is so special and a one of a kind wrestler, and she's only 29 years old. She has a long career ahead of her and I will be there every step of the way to support her. The criticisms and hate she gets is absolutely ridiculous too. She is quite literally a modern day Stone Cold with the pops she gets. In my opinion, she is the most over person on the WWE roster, man or woman. Her work with Iyo Sky in the past year has been absolutely amazing as well. Iyo is my second favorite wrestler, so this has just been a dream run for me. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Rhea twice, and she was the biggest sweetheart ever. She even picked me up bridal style for a photo! She will go down as one of the greatest of all time, no doubt in my mind."

[10.0] "She grew from just being a powerhouse into being what she is now, an incredible all-around performer. She's one of the bigger women, but she's athletic and high-flying when she needs to be, as well as strong. She's got great chemistry with most other wrestlers and is almost never the reason for a bad match. She looks great in the ring, she makes other people look great (sells like she just got hit by a car), and is easily one of the best characters on the roster when they book her right."

ShadowDaHedgeH0g wrote on 31.10.2025:
[10.0] "She has all the talent in the world to be the top star of WWE, repetitive booking in the only issue and that is something that she just can't control so no need to dock her for that. She can adapt and change her style depending on who she faces, IE when she fights Raquel or Nia jax she leans towards a more agile pace and playing less of a powergame or if she's fighting someone smaller she can use that power and overwhelm individuals."

[10.0] "Easily the face of the women's division right now. Love her or hate her she just has IT. Whether as a heel or babyface every arena she goes, she gets massive cheers from the fans, and her wrestling has improved so much from her days in NXT. She is still 29 and has had a great catalog of matches in 2025. Even though bad booking affected her feud with Liv and previous title reigns, she still shows her merit and wrestling capabilities by having one of the best matches on any given night. One of the most popular superstars in WWE and not just the women's division. She also has a great personality, character and entrance than resonates with her fans because of her authenticity. The fact that she has the potential, and will likely main event Wrestlemania tells you all you need to know about Rhea Ripley."
Sarahslimane wrote on 28.09.2025:
[10.0] "It sucks that her booking during her first reign and during the liv feud made so many people get some kind of fatigue on her or legit ruined their perception on her because she is actually the best worker in the WWE outside of Iyo sky and bianca belair. Her big matches reach the "next level" gear, she has been great on tv wrestling every week and fortunately wwe has spared us from the "im gonna get back the one thing that i never lost" shit about her character and actually had let her get meaningful stories with asuka and iyo. Although this isn't me saying she should be kept out of the world title scene. People dont say that about big men's wrestlers like cody rhodes, why say it against rhea who is even younger and has been consistently better lol. Im just saying i hope wwe fixes the problem with her booking and lets her earn a title shot in a meaningful way like a chamber next year. i want her vs IYO SKY to be the world title match for mania Long story short. Shes a Generational talent that has been taking bullets because of bad booking. Doesnt take away how great she is though so 10/10"

And don't get me started with the feud with liv, thankfully things are getting better since iyo came around"

"If it were not for Rhea Ripley, I would have never became a fan of professional wrestling. I believe this is true, or will be true for many wrestling fans who start watching wrestling in the 2020s and 2030s. Her unique likeness makes anyone unfamiliar with her or pro wrestling, interested in who she is and what she's doing in a spilt second. I dont think there is another wrestler in all of history that can match the ease in which she and the production crew grandly presents herself. She was the biggest star in the world in her mid twenties, the best wrestler of her style and somehow continues to get better everyday."

[10.0] "Rhea Ripley is easily one of the best female wrestlers WWE has ever had. She is great in the ring and on the mic but her real strength is her connection to fans, it is almost unexplainable. Very few others have ever and will ever connect so easily with fans and even beyond the wrestling community. I can personally attest to the fact she is getting new people into wrestling through her personality and attitude, and that is the most valuable thing for WWE. If she wants to, she still has well over a decade left in the business and I can't wait to see it all because as scarily good as she is now, she still has years of improvement. By the end of her career I do believe she will go down as the undeniable G.O.A.T of women's wrestling, she already has a HoF career at 28."

She's cocky and cool and despite her young age manages to show herself off and make other veterans look weak. You think she's good now? Wait 10 more years. She's surely gonna take the world by storm. She can play a face and a heel perfectly to a tea and can tell a good story when the time comes. My only issue with her is the repetitive booking she's had to endure for the past two years."

Her booking has been my biggest criticism of her WWE has conditioned the audience to believe that no one else matters in the women's division aside from Rhea Ripley this booking has led to wrestlers not benefitting when it comes to feuding with her. I have also noticed that when she recieves criticism she likes to lash out & play victim I thought people were exaggarating but after seeing her recent interviews they were not wrong. Great wrestler but very immature & lack of self-awareness"

She knows what to do to engage the crowd and oozes charisma. She already has a hall of fame career. Hopefully, she can survive the current storyline she is in. Update she didn't survive it that storyline, but it looks like creative is pivoting in a different direction regarding her character. I think this will finally give Rhea some good feuds that will highlight what she means to the women's division. Update: She's off to a great start in 2025. I have been loving her performances and she's not winning all the time. I am loving this new Rhea Ripley."

[8.0] "Definitely a great wrestler, great gimmick, naturally charismatic (when she doesn't speak), she's good as both face and heel, reliable but maybe too reliable, she's getting booked too much up to a point where she's getting booked poorly, it's good that she's reliable and yes she is one of (if not the) top stars in the company at the moment and yes she has a massive fandom even a fandom of non-WWE fans but i don't remember the last time WWE tried to shove someone that hard down our throats and do anything in order to stick her in the title picture (or close to it), i think she's being put in the title frame too much and getting too much of the screen time that could go to other women who aren't/weren't being used at all"
Stew wrote on 27.05.2025:
[10.0] "A wrestler pushed for a reason. She has a look that stands out, while also having enough charisma and being likable enough to force WWE to turn her face. In the ring, Rhea does 3 simple things that I like in wrestling. She sells/bumps well, hits hard, and has good offense. She can also have faster-paced matches while being on the taller end of the women in WWE. One negative I'd say she has is her mic skills, they could be better. Overall, Rhea is one of the best women's wrestlers in the world while also being under 30. It will be interesting to see how she develops as a wrestler when she hits her prime."

[10.0] "It's pretty amusing to watch people scramble for any reason to slap a zero on Rhea Ripley while trying not to get their comments deleted by the admins. But deep down, I think even those users know how hypocritical their takes are. They'll cry about some supposed "injury concerns" to justify Rhea's lighter schedule (as if her current WWE schedule isn't totally standard, gone are the days when wrestlers had 200 matches a year). Then there's the outright sexist nonsense claiming she's only pushed because she's hot and has a bunch of simps. Yet the crowd 100% behind her, erupting every time she shows up either proves that's complete garbage, or apparently the entire arena, including women and kids, are all simps. Honestly, solid arguments haven't been the IWC's strong suit for a long time. Now, onto Rhea herself, she's an incredible wrestler. She connects with the audience, she draws money, and she has an iconic look. The complaints like "Who would she be without her gimmick? " are the kind of genius takes only the brightest minds could dream up. Nobody's out here saying, "Hey, strip The Undertaker of his Deadman gimmick and let's see what happens! ", because that's just dumb. Rhea sells well, so she's at the top. It's that simple, no conspiracy, no favoritism. For me personally, she's been killing it. There was a stretch where her matches felt a bit average, but for the past six months or so, almost every performance has hit me right in the feels and left me in awe. She knows how to sell her matches, and I love how she doesn't just do the bare minimum, she nails the little micro-moments that make her matches compelling not just in the moment but also when you rewatch and catch the details. Rhea's easily one of the brightest women's wrestlers out there. When I first started watching her, she was up against Toni Storm, and a lot of us, myself included, didn't get why she seemed to be put on a higher pedestal. But looking back, it makes sense. Right now, Rhea might just be the second most well-rounded women's character in WWE history, behind Becky Lynch. And the fact that she's still so young and will likely main-event WrestleMania someday? That genuinely makes me happy."

Besides that, like many have said, since MANIA 39 she hadn't had a standout match (recently we got the banger vs Iyo and Bianca, point still stands); how is that possible? That has to let you know that she's just not actually good in the ring. I will say I did like a promo she cut recently. Insanely overrated, though. 6.5/10."

I feel like she could be a lot more, but she hasn't shown any improvements since NXT. This is just, of course, my opinion. Hope to see her get better in ring and take some promo lessons."

Also she is supposed to be a powerhouse yet she has difficulty picking up the lightest opponents imaginable, you take away the muscle mommy look and what do you have? Nothing that's what. HHH is so high on this woman he let's actually talented ladies either go or be let go and it is honestly hilarious watching some of them actually make a difference in other places yet he is stuck with someone who only works once every other month."

This is more of a booking issue then anything, but she really is getting involved in too much - she had no business being in the Women's Championship match at WM41, even if her performance was stellar. I'm always happy to see her on screen, but she needs to be distanced from the title picture for a bit."
