Rhea Ripley Calls WrestleMania 41 Match a Favorite

Rhea Ripley reflected on her WrestleMania 41 match against IYO SKY and Bianca Belair, calling it one of her personal favorites and noting that the three competitors, who came up together in NXT, delivered a critically acclaimed performance she expected to be well received. The match, which opened the second night of the event, has been praised by fans and was even suggested by CM Punk as worthy of headlining the show, a compliment Ripley found surreal as a longtime fan. Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a recent interview, also singled out the Women's World Title match as his favorite of WrestleMania 41, commending the physicality and skill of all three women involved. Austin shared that he told both Bianca Belair and, had he seen her, would have told Rhea Ripley how much he enjoyed the match, emphasizing their status as top performers in the division.
