Kevin Nash Compares Rhea Ripley To 2 Time WWE Hall Of Famer Barry Windham

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has showered Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley with high praise, comparing her dynamic presence in the ring to that of wrestling icon Barry Windham.

The striking comparison highlights Ripley’s unique blend of athleticism and charisma, which Kevin Nash believes sets her apart in today’s wrestling landscape. Speaking on his podcast, Kliq This, Nash shared his admiration for Ripley, particularly her ever-evolving style and magnetic energy.

“Rhea’s one of those people that every week she looks different.”

Nash didn’t stop there. He drew a direct parallel between Ripley and Windham, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer renowned for his fluidity and power in the ring.

“But man, when she fu**ing throws that leg up on the entrance, she gets in the ring like Barry Windham when Barry Windham was in his prime.”

Windham became a benchmark of grace and dominance in the squared circle. Nash believes Ripley embodies those same qualities.

“Barry Windham used to get in the ring and he was like a panther, that’s how she looks. She’s very cat-like.”

Beyond her physical prowess, Nash also highlighted Ripley’s storytelling ability, a skill he deems rare among wrestlers.

“To me, she’s so special because I’ve never seen a female sell like she does.”
