WWE President Nick Khan believes former Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley will be one of the faces of the company in the coming years.
Speaking on The Bill Simmons Podcast before WrestleMania 42, Khan named 'The Eradicator' as his top pick to be WWE's biggest star in 2033.
I think there's a shot for a couple people, I think. Keep in mind Rhea is in her late 20s, Rhea Ripley. She's amazing. She has a chance. She's already up there.
Last year, Ripley helped steal the show at WrestleMania 41. She competed in a triple threat with IYO SKY and Bianca Belair that earned widespread praise from fans and critics.
Khan's Vision for WWE's Future Stars
Khan also listed Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Oba Femi, and Trick Williams as options for WWE's top star in 2033. He highlighted the importance of letting young talent develop at their own pace.
I'm high on Logan Paul. He's good, dude. And by the way, he puts in the work," Khan said. "I'm high on Bron. We cannot rush it, though. Gotta sort of let him develop at his own pace.
Khan praised Trick Williams for being authentic and understanding the media. He looks for wrestlers whose inner voice matches their outer voice.
I always look for people whose inner voice matches their outer voice. I look for that in wrestlers. I look for it in political people," Khan explained. "Trick Williams is Trick Williams. So I like that.
Rhea Ripley enters her seventh WrestleMania this weekend in one of the top matches on night two. She challenges Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship on Sunday.
