Freddie Prinze Jr. Wants to See Rhea Ripley vs. Beth Phoenix Next

– During the latest edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, actor nd former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. discussed Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. He also explained how he wants to see Ripley defend his title next against rival Beth Phoenix. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Freddie Prinze Jr. on Rhea Ripley: “She’s [Ripley] going to be champ for a long time. I’d love to see Beth [Phoenix] come out of retirement, the way her man [Edge] came out of retirement because she did Beth wrong at that other pay-per-view, where she was like going to basically kill her and they made Edge say, ‘I quit.’ That was how they beat Edge in that I Quit match, she was going to Con-chair-to Beth.”

On having Beth Phoenix face Rhea Ripley: “Now you get that payoff, where you let Beth come in and get one little run at the belt, she loses, of course, and you let Rhea get that win as well, and that gives you time to build up whatever babyface you want to come after her that’s going to fail, ultimately.”
