Rhea Ripley picked over AEW star Mercedes Mone in huge pitch made by WWE legend

Rhea Ripley's dominant and captivating personality has made her one of the top attractions for WWE in the modern era. Moreover, Mami's fame led her to be picked by a top legend for a pitch over AEW megastar Mercedes Mone.

The aforementioned legend, who is a WWE Hall of Famer, is Kevin Nash. Big Daddy Cool made his mark in wrestling as Diesel in the Stamford-based promotion. However, one of the golden tenures of his career came in WCW when he, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan formed one of the most legendary factions of all time, nWo.

The stable proved to be a major turning point in the infamous Monday Night Wars for WCW. Moreover, the nWo also saw the addition of various members over the years and even had a brief stint in WWE when the original trio returned to the company in the early 2000s.

In a recent conversation with Justin Dhillon of The Wrestling Classic, Kevin Nash made an interesting revelation when asked about potential female members added to the nWo from the new generation. The former WWE champion revealed that initially, he thought that AEW star Mercedes Mone would be an ideal pick to join the nWo. However, he now believed that WWE's top star, Rhea Ripley, would be a better choice.

I remember when [Mercedes Mone, fka Sasha Banks] and Bayley had that match in Brooklyn, I said it then, she was–but now, I have to go with Rhea [Ripley]. Absolutely. Rhea might be a better fit in the nWo than Sasha.”- H/T ITR Wrestling
