Former NXT Women’s champions Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon praised Beth Phoenix for her amazing work for World Wrestling Entertainment. A lot of recent days’ wrestlers have praised ‘The Glamazon’ for her amazing work for the promotion.
Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon both have been successful talents for the NXT. Even though Ember Moon has not been very successful in the main roster so far and about Rhea Ripley, she just made her debut two weeks ago on Monday Night Raw, and she is going to face Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37.
Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon Praise Beth Phoenix
The Icons on their latest episodes focused on ‘The Glamazon’ Beth Phoenix and wrestlers have shared their views on the former three times WWE Women’s champion. Ember Moon shared her feelings by saying,
The very first time I saw Beth, it was very eye-opening in the world of women’s wrestling. I was like, ‘Woah, this girl so different and unique, I want to be just like her.’ That inspired my career to where I was like, ‘I need to do this my way. I don’t need to try to be the next anyone else.’ She inspired me to do things differently because it was so successful for her.
Rhea Ripley added later,
She sort of wrestles like a dude, and I love that. Going through high school and always being told that I was muscular and I looked like a man, it really brought me down over the years. I struggled with that and I know she’s been through those struggles too. To see someone like Beth Phoenix on my TV and doing the one thing I loved to watch, it was inspiring.
A lot of female wrestlers are said to follow the legacy left by Beth Phoenix and if she was a wrestler during the Women’s Revolution period, he would have been really fun to watch. These are some of the women that WWE could not objectify because of their amazing ring presentations and charisma.
Not only Beth but Chyna also was vastly regarded because of their strength and appearance. Wrestling fans always dream of some of the matches having these individuals in mind that are not possible anymore. Chyna vs. Beth Phoenix being of those dream matches that can only be simulated in a video game. But we hope to see a dream come true match between Beth and Ronda Rousey.
