WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley recently sat down with the “BWGS Pod,” where she spoke about a wide range of topics, including her desire to wrestle CM Punk, who is currently sidelined with a torn triceps.
Ripley said, “So my three favorites growing up were Triple H, which is wild because he’s my boss. The other one was The Miz. I absolutely love The Miz and the third one was CM Punk. So, I don’t know (which one of them I’d wrestle in their prime). It’s hard because they’ve all had such amazing careers and they’ve had such amazing milestones. For me, I feel like I still have so much to go. I feel like right now, I’m at a very good moment. My momentum’s growing and we’re just getting bigger and bigger but I feel like I still haven’t reached what they were able to reach. So it’s wild to think that I could possibly accomplish things that they accomplished and if I were to step in the ring with them… You remember seeing Triple H back in the day? Exactly (he was in great shape). I would like to face Punk (Ripley said after it was mentioned that the match is still a possibility). Especially with the way that he did his promos and the way that he just did everything. It was always entertaining and I feel like if I were to step into a storyline with any of the three, I would learn so much and it would definitely help skyrocket Rhea Ripley to the next level sort of thing.”
Rhea Ripley, the current WWE Women’s World Champion, recently opened up about her desire to wrestle CM Punk in a recent interview with the “BWGS Pod.” Ripley, who has quickly risen to prominence in the wrestling world, expressed her admiration for Punk and discussed how facing him in the ring would be a valuable learning experience.

Ripley emphasized that she is currently experiencing a great moment in her career, with her momentum continuing to grow. However, she believes there is still more for her to achieve. If given the opportunity to face Punk in his prime, Ripley believes it would be a tremendous learning experience and would help elevate her career to new heights.
The Australian wrestler also highlighted Punk’s exceptional promo skills and his ability to entertain the audience. She expressed her admiration for his work and how it has inspired her own approach to wrestling. Ripley believes that stepping into a storyline with any of her three favorite wrestlers would provide her with valuable lessons and contribute to her growth as a performer.
