Rhea Ripley has risen to the top of WWE’s women’s division, but the star has called for an unsung wrestler to join her.
The Eradicator is riding an incredible crest of momentum recently, with Ripley and Iyo Sky impressing in the WWE Evolution main event.
Ripley’s hunt for WWE World Championship continues, but there’s no doubt she’s one of the biggest stars on the roster.
As one of the senior names in the women’s division, the star has called for another star to get better opportunities.
Rhea Ripley calls for better WWE opportunities for Candice LeRae
Ripley believes Candice LeRae deserves to be a top star in the women’s division alongside the likes of Iyo Sky and Tiffany Stratton.
“Going through NXT and seeing how her brain works and how she goes out there – she’s the veteran in the ring,” explained Ripley in an interview with SPORTBible.
LeRae is currently the manager for her husband Johnny Gargano’s tag team #DIY, alongside Tommaso Ciampa.
The star has not competed in a singles match since February and she’s yet to hold a championship on the main roster.
“She knows what to do, keeps everyone calm and she’s got ideas,” Ripley said as she continued to make the case for her long-time friend. “I wish someone like her would get more of an opportunity.”
The Aussie was diplomatic about why Triple H wasn’t using The Poison Pixie, however. “With TV there’s only a limited amount of time and everyone gets their spot,” she added.
“It’s just what happens in the business but there’s a lot of people who I believe should be in a different spot to what they’re in right now.”
LeRae became the inaugural WWE Women’s Speed Champion, the company’s X exclusive promotion, but lost the title to Sol Ruca in April.
Who else is underutilised by Triple H in WWE?
Triple H has done some incredible things since taking the helm of WWE ahead of SummerSlam in 2022, but he’s not getting everything right.
The Game clearly has his favourites and has booked the likes of Gunther, Ripley, and Jey Uso as genuine world beaters, but there are others who are falling by the wayside.
The likes of Andrade, Rey Fenix, and LA Knight have struggled to truly ascend to the main event scene under Triple H.
On the female side of things, there’s one real standout for a top calibre star who has not been given the opportunity to run with a Women’s Championship.
Chelsea Green has done everything right since returning to the company, but The Game has not fully invested in the Canadian.
