Rhea Ripley reflects on sharing a moment with Chris Motionless and all of Motionless In White during her entrance at WWE WrestleMania XL.
Rhea Ripley's popularity and rise to true superstardom in WWE can perhaps be summed up in one word: aura. Every movement Ripley makes before, during, and after any given match captivates audiences in arenas and on social media. Rhea Ripley's entrance music, performed by Chris Motionless of Motionless In White, is a huge element in her popularity and sets the mood for the brutality Ripley intends to dish out on any given night. Moreover, it allows Ripley to get in the zone as she enters any arena.
Ahead of her WWE WrestleMania XL Women's World Title match with Becky Lynch, Ripley was played to the ring by Motionless In White. Ripley enjoyed soaking in the moment in front of the tens of thousands of fans in attendance. However, she also enjoyed vibing to the music and sharing a moment with Chris Motionless, often jokingly called her twin.
Speaking with DS of Ring The Belle Ripley reflected on that special moment at WWE WrestleMania XL, including her decision to wear hair extensions, adding a new layer to her look.
"Yeah. I don't know. I felt like I needed to do something different. So I was like, you know what people won't expect? Hair extensions."
As for Ripley taking the time to enjoy the walk to the ring and her visible enjoyment of her theme song, Ripley explains that Motionless In White is one of her favorite bands and says that in that moment, she was entirely in her element.
"Oh, I was. Being able to go out there with Motionless inWhite and get that little confidence boost that I really needed before going out there and facing Becky Lynch, it was absolutely amazing. It's what dreams were made of. It really was. I love that band so much, and... being in my element and sort of like getting into the song and looking into [Chris Motionless]'s eyes and feeling that moment of brutality. It was a special connection, and I loved every single second of it."
