Rhea Ripley addresses people comparing her to Chyna

Rhea Ripley was the winner of the 2023 women’s WWE Royal Rumble match. While speaking to Ariel Helwani of BTSport.com, Rhea addressed people comparing her to Attitude Era star Chyna…

“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 IC [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.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
