"It's easy, but it's true" - Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley has been the best female wrestler of 2023, says veteran (Exclusive)
Senior wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently picked Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley as the best female wrestler of 2023 so far.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say Ripley is one of the biggest stars on WWE's women's roster today. Not only she commands some of the biggest reactions when she walks down the entrance ramp, but The Eradicator has also proven herself in the ring.
The 26-year-old's run with the Women's World Championship has been dominating, with no contender posing a legitimate threat to her reign. On Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Chris Featherstone and Bill Apter didn't think twice before picking Ripley as the best female wrestler of the year.
The veteran journalist also mentioned that though Rhea Ripley might be a predictable pick, there was little doubt it was right.
"That's where even I was going. It's easy, but it's true," said Bill Apter [17:34 - 17:38]
