Eric Bischoff Says Unique Top WWE Star Is Yet To Hit Their Peak

Eric Bischoff believes that Rhea Ripley has still yet to hit her peak.

The Australian Superstar has been at the forefront of WWE television in the past couple of years, initially as a member of the villainous Judgment Day faction before joining forces with Damian Priest to form the ‘Terror Twins’ after the controversial Dominik Mysterio betrayed his former girlfriend in favour of Liv Morgan at SummerSlam 2024.

Despite this setback, Ripley continues to be a force for WWE both inside and outside of the ring with Eric Bischoff believing that there is still even more to come from the 27 year-old.

Speaking during a recent episode of his podcast ‘83 Weeks‘, the former Executive Director of SmackDown had high praise for Ripley, sharing his belief that her career was still on the up before praising the former WWE Women’s World Champion for her clever use of social media:

“I think Rhea — I’m just so excited about her because I think she’s still on an upwards trajectory. I don’t think she’s peaked at all. I think she’s still got a lot of room to grow, and I’m excited for it.

She’s very, very unique. You talk about ‘different than, better than, less than’ — she’s the queen of ‘different than,’ and she’s made it work. She’s so unique.

Another thing I really like about her is that she’s not overexposed. She uses social media, but not to the point where you think, ‘Oh, another Rhea Ripley post.’ She’s judicious in the way she uses social media and it really works for her.”

Eric Bischoff Confused By WWE Relationship With Netflix

Raw Superstar Rhea Ripley will soon have a new home on Monday nights when the company’s flagship show moves to Netflix on 6th January after a rights deal worth a staggering $5 billion dollars was signed.

Given the big money agreement, Bischoff has expressed his surprise at the timing of a new Netflix documentary profiling former WWE owner Vince McMahon.
