Kevin Nash Names One Female WWE Star Who Could’ve Joined The Original nWo

Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, and Scott Hall were the iconic trio of WWE nWo.

Throughout the years of the faction’s existence, other superstars were added to different versions of it. However, the original trio are what the fandom knows as nWo.

Now, there has always been the question of which female superstar would be a great addition to this faction. The answer has changed over the years.

Kevin Nash names WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley

During an interview with The Wrestling Classic, Kevin Nash was asked about a female superstar suitable for nWo. To this, Nash responded by revealing that previously Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) would have made a great addition to the faction. However, now he seems to think that Rhea Ripley would have been a better fit for the faction.

I remember, like, when she was, you know, when her (Mercedes Mone) and Bayley had that match in Brooklyn. I said that then that she was, you know…(a possible NWO member) But now I might have to go Rhea. I might have to go Rhea. Rhea might be a better fit with the NWO than Sasha. [H/t: Fightful]
