Rhea Ripley Addresses Potentially Challenging for WWE Intercontinental Title

Rhea Ripley has worked very hard to become one of the top female Superstars in WWE. In fact, she has seen a lot of success in the company, being a multi-time champion and has now addressed potentially challenging for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

In 1999, Chyna made history as the first female to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. While WWE has generally moved away from physical interactions between men and women, Rhea Ripley has broken that mold by bodyslamming and putting her male opponents in chokeholds.

While speaking in a recent interview with Adam Barnard of Foundation Radio, Ripley was asked about the possibility of challenging for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. She expressed enthusiasm for the idea, noting that it would be a historic moment.

Ripley mentioned her admiration for Chyna’s achievements and suggested that such a move would further women’s evolution in wrestling by blending more with the men’s division and showcasing the capabilities of female wrestlers.

“Yeah. I’d be stupid to say no. I haven’t seen much of that lately. I saw it maybe a few months back when I was beating up all the guys. I would absolutely love that. That would be a real historic moment. I get to follow in amazing steps like Chyna. It’d be a step for the women’s evolution. We’d be taking over that a little bit more where we’re seeping into the men’s division and showing them what the women can do.”

For the time being, Rhea Ripley is more focused on Dominik Mysterio after he betrayed her at WWE SummerSlam. Therefore, we will have to wait and see how WWE will continue to book their storyline in the coming weeks.
