Rhea Ripley discloses the scrapped WrestleMania 39 plans with Chris Motionless
There were special plans for Rhea Ripley’s WrestleMania entrance this year. As known, she defeated Charlotte Flair in an absolute slobberknocker to capture the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The Aussie had all the momentum heading into the biggest night of her career. After a record-setting victory at the Royal Rumble, The Mami was oozing in confidence.
Even though she reached the mountain top in Los Angeles, she has a single gripe coming out of that. As revealed during an interview on the Battleground podcast, WWE had plans to make Motionless in White perform Rhea Ripley’s theme song live at the SoFi stadium. However, that never came to fruition. That being said, the metalcore band were booked to perform in Germany at that point.
Also, that show in Europe was rescheduled from the Covid Era. Hence, it wasn’t possible for the popular American band to pull out from that concert. The Eradicator of the Judgment Day still hopes to be performed out to the ring by his musical twin – Chris Motionless and the rest of his band. For the unversed, Chris has provided vocals for Ripley’s current theme song – Demons In Your Dreams, and his physical traits are incredibly similar to the female WWE Superstar.
“I might have to wait a bit because I have Chris Motionless singing my song right now. So I would absolutely love the Motionless in White to perform me out to the ring. We were trying to do it for WrestleMania 39, but unfortunately, they had a tour in Germany I believe, which was already rescheduled from the COVID era. So they had to do that. They couldn’t pull out again.”
Has the title run of Rhea Ripley been underwhelming?
Since this year’s Showcase of the Immortals, Ripley defended her championship twice. First, at Backlash in Puerto Rico, she overcame Zelina Vega. Despite the home advantage for the female LWO member, Mami rattled her. And most recently at Night of Champions last Saturday, she squashed Natalya in mere 69 seconds.
She haven’t defended her title on weekly television. A certain section of WWE fans are complaining about the negative aspect of her alliance with the Judgment Day. According to them, she’s not focused as a singles competitor and that’s affecting her title reign. Although her on-screen dynamics with Dominik Mysterio are doing wonders for the pair, it has reduced the wrestling schedule of Rhea Ripley.
