Rhea Ripley reflects on being played to the ring by Motionless In White.
In one of the biggest matches of her career, Rhea Ripley faced off with Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40. Before the bell even rang however, Ripley had created a moment. Motionless In White, who are responsible for Ripley's theme music, would play Rhea to the ring in a live performance.
While speaking in a Digital Exclusive after her match, Ripley was asked about her entrance, with the WWE Women's World Champion stating it was a dream come true.
"That was a dream come true. I know we talk about WrestleMania and how everyone works so hard to compete on this grand stage and also it being WrestleMania XL, the biggest WrestleMania. I'm so glad and so happy and so privileged and just so ecstatic that I got to share that with Motionless In White. The moshes, they know how much I love Motionless In White. I love Chris Motionless and how we have been compared to each other for a very long time. We look like twins and I absolutely love it. It's mostly because I've been watching his music videos since I was in like high school. So I've gradually just morphed into him without even meaning to as well. Like I just cut my hair. I was like, Oh, Oh crap. We look the same. So to be able to actually have them here and, and bring music and wrestling together and have that special moment with my absolute top notch favorite band. It's something that I'm never going to forget. I don't think I'm ever going to live down, like it's, big enough that I get to be a part of WrestleMania XL. I get to go out there with The Man Becky Lynch, someone that I've looked up to for a long, long time, someone who I've admired for a long, long time. But to go out there with Chris and the rest of the Motionless In Whie and how that moment where we were singing to each other. Yeah, it was a very special moment for me and I hope that it was just as special for them because I love them boys and they're also lovely as well. So it's great to share it with them."
Ripley would go on to defeat Lynch with an Avalanche Riptide. Elsewhere in the same digital exclusive, Ripley said she got the version of Becky she wanted in their match. You can read more about that here.
