Rhea Ripley Called the Roman Reigns of WWE’s Women’s Division

Rhea Ripley has already established herself as one of WWE’s most dominant stars, and CJ Perry believes her influence inside the company now mirrors the role Roman Reigns has held for years.

During a recent episode of TMZ’s Inside the Ring, Perry and host Branson Quirk discussed the Women’s Elimination Chamber match and the direction of WWE’s women’s division. The conversation turned to Ripley’s position in the company after Quirk mentioned he was surprised by how the match ended, believing it might have been Raquel Rodriguez’s moment.

Perry responded by explaining that WWE views Ripley as a centerpiece star in the division and compared her role to one of the biggest names in modern wrestling.

“You know, Rhea in some ways is like the Roman Reigns of the women.”

The comparison points to Ripley’s consistent presence in major storylines and main event programs. Much like Reigns during his dominant run at the top of WWE, Ripley has become one of the performers the company often builds around when shaping the women’s division. Perry also pointed out that Ripley’s impact stretches beyond the ring, saying her popularity with fans continues to grow both online and at live events.

“She is incredible. She brought brutality to that match. And she is a needle mover.”

Perry continued by explaining that Ripley’s presence consistently generates fan engagement across multiple platforms.

“She really does move the needle on the internet for sure. People are always invested in her.”

That connection with the audience has helped Ripley stand out as one of the most recognizable figures in WWE today. Perry even noted that Ripley’s influence is easy to see whenever fans attend events, where many show their support by dressing like her or referencing her persona.

With WrestleMania season approaching, Ripley remains positioned as one of WWE’s top stars, and Perry’s comparison to Roman Reigns shows just how high her standing may be within the company’s current landscape.
