• “I’m so down for it. I love being compared to Chyna” – Female WWE Star On Going After The Intercontinental Title
After her Women’s Royal Rumble 2023 victory from entry #1, Rhea Ripley was asked about her thoughts on fans comparing her to WWE Hall Of Famer Chyna.
Ripley said she loves this comparison and would like to go after the Intercontinental Championship, just like Chyna did.
Below is what Rhea said during this interview with BT Sport:
“I think it’s cool. I want people to keep saying that. I know Kofi (Kingston) said that he wants to see me go for the [Intercontinental] Title. I’m so down for it. I love being compared to Chyna.
I know I get a lot of hate, which at the same time is weird, but I understand where it’s coming from where like, ‘You can’t be the next Chyna!’ Yeah, I know. I can’t be the next Chyna.
She was absolutely amazing, and she was herself, and she was unique to her, but I’m the first Rhea Ripley.
If I can get somewhat compared to her, like I’m doing something right, but I’m also going to be doing it in my own special way sort of tweaking way, but I love to see it.”
Ripley will now challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39.
