Former WWE Name Believes Rhea Ripley Needs ‘To Get Rid Of All That Goth Stuff’

WWE

A former WWE name believes Rhea Ripley needs “to get rid of all that goth stuff”.

Rhea Ripley has become one of WWE’s fastest rising stars since joining The Judgment Day last summer. Since her heel turn and alliance with the group, the former Raw Women’s Champion has dyed her hair black and wears darker makeup to stand out from the rest of the roster.

At WWE Royal Rumble, Ripley made her history by becoming the first woman to enter #1 in the Women’s Royal Rumble match and win, while setting the record for longest time in the bout’s history.

With Rhea set to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, many believe “The Nightmare” may be on her way back to being a babyface.

Speaking on Sportskeeda’s Writing with Russo, Vince Russo expressed his belief that WWE is about to turn Ripley and thinks she needs “to get rid of that goth stuff”. He said:

“So now, you’re getting into that Roman Reigns area again. I would do it, bro, if the plans were to slowly but surely turn Rhea Ripley babyface. Get rid of all that goth stuff; let’s really see what a beautiful woman she is if that were the plan.”

“If she is the heel WWE Women’s Champion, I mean, what are we going to do, have Becky beat her? Like, how many times are we going to go back to that well? And if it’s not Becky, then who is it?”

Russo continued on to explain while Ripley is more than capable of beating Charlotte Flair at Mania, he doesn’t believe much of the women’s roster is credible against the Judgment Day member. He stated:

“I believe Rhea Ripley can beat Charlotte Flair. Rhea Ripley is a beast. She is a big woman. I’d believe that if she beats Charlotte, I believe it. But my problem really is, bro, so now would you have Rhea Ripley as a heel champion, and then because she is bigger and just more impressive than the other girls?

“You know, we’ve got the Candice LeRaes, and we’ve got the Alexa Blisses, we’ve got these girls that are like, Rhea Ripley would kill them!”
