In the lead up to SummerSlam 2024, Freddie Prinze Jr. has given hearty accolades for the Women’s World Championship feud between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.
Freddie Prinze Jr., a former WWE creative team writer, elaborated on his commendation during a recent episode of his podcast, “Wrestling With Freddie.” The ex-writer was particularly enthusiastic about the handling of Rhea Ripley’s character, stating:
“They have nearly perfected everything about Rhea Ripley, and she has capitalized on every single moment. Ultimately, only the person performing can get themself over. The company can provide the chance, the creative team can supply the narratives, the opposing wrestler can make you appear formidable, but in the end, it’s up to you, the performer, to implement … Seeing her on the microphone and being a vital part of the show once again was not only encouraging for the WWE roster, but also for the fans, who were thrilled to see their favorite ‘Mami’ Rhea Ripley back.”
