"Maybe of all-time" - Rhea Ripley is the best talent in women's wrestling, says WWE veteran
Rhea Ripley was at the top of WWE and shared her spotlight with Dominik Mysterio for a long time until it all changed for Mami. Recently, former booker and manager Jim Cornette spoke highly of the star and called her the best talent in the division.
Last year, Rhea Ripley conquered Charlotte Flair at The Grandest Stage of Them All and dominated the women's division for months. The Eradicator left no stone unturned to prove her critics wrong as the Women's World Champion of Monday Night RAW.
However, it came crashing down on Mami when she got injured and went on a hiatus. Speaking on Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran spoke highly of the former Women's World Champion by calling her the best talent in women's wrestling.
"Rhea Ripley is the best talent, currently, in women's wrestling and maybe of all-time in women's wrestling at an in-ring level. She's very good on promos and she's really over cause in-ring she stands above any other female in the business," Cornette said. (From 00:30 to 00:52)

What happened to Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam 2024?
Earlier this year, Liv Morgan vowed to take everything away from Rhea Ripley. Later, Morgan started her Revenge Tour when the former Women's World Champion went on a hiatus after an attack by Liv.
Morgan finally won the Women's World Championship after scoring a singles victory over Becky Lynch. After the WWE King & Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia, the Women's World Champion set her sights on Dominik Mysterio.
After weeks of teasing, the second-generation star was about to fold when Rhea Ripley returned to WWE RAW. However, it was too late for Mami as Mysterio and Morgan were already in cahoots.
The former Women's World Champion got her rematch against Liv Morgan for the title at The Biggest Party of The Summer in Ohio. Unfortunately, it didn't go the way Mami had originally planned.
In the match's final moments, Dominik Mysterio showed his true colors to Rhea Ripley and the world when he aligned with Liv Morgan. In the end, Mami was heartbroken and lost her singles undefeated streak as well.
