WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash gave his thoughts on top women’s division stars, including Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill, and Iyo Sky, during a new episode of his Kliq This podcast. Nash praised Ripley as one of WWE’s standout talents but also offered a pointed critique of her in-ring psychology.
“I think Charlotte really stands out. I think that f**king Rhea really stands out,” Nash said, praising Ripley’s presence and charisma.
However, Nash went on to critique how Ripley sells during matches, arguing that her approach sometimes diminishes her physical dominance.
“I get pissed off at her. Because she works… she always works down. She works small,” Nash explained. “She’ll, I’ll see her selling, and she’ll make herself small instead of staying up and… selling big.”
He emphasized that Ripley should lean into her size and strength by maintaining a dominant posture throughout her selling sequences.
“You can get dropped down to them, because man, the more movements you make where it looks like they got a teeter to knock you off your fking base… you can work fking 20, 30 seconds of just teetering.”
Nash also praised Jade Cargill for her incredible look and potential, comparing her to a real-life superhero.
“Jade just fking looks wise, like she looks like a Marvel comic book character… She’s almost like CGI,” Nash said. “She needs to get her skill level up. That could be fking… a great place for her work.”
While giving his takes, Nash also questioned the current booking of Iyo Sky, asking rhetorically:
“What was the last time Iyo Sky wrestled… she defended her belt at all?”
Rhea Ripley recently defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a brutal Street Fight at WWE Night of Champions. She is set to open tonight’s Monday Night Raw with a promo addressing her latest win and what lies ahead.
