There is a ton of chatter about Rhea Ripley's new look coming out of Hell in a Cell on Sunday. While the entire Judgement Day group coordinated their outfits with a purple and black vibe, Ripley's gear was noticeably different, something many fans pointed out and were big fans of. But, it will be interesting to see if she keeps the look because it wasn't intentional.
According to Ripley, her new attire was the result of her not having the gear she was originally planning to wear. She wrote on Twitter after the match, "When your gear doesn’t arrive in time… You learn to utilize what you have #HIAC #YouAreWelcome" This is the second time something has happened with her ring attire, only this time, it sounds like she was putting together something different to match Edge and Damian Priest, but it didn't show up. She had to scramble to put together the look she went with and it worked.
Fans have been sharing images and making memes of her match on Sunday night, many digging the new digs. She was a cross between Batman and The Joker and fans were fond of it. As fans started to share images of The Joker on their social media pages, Ripley began to retweet her favorites and that could be a tease that she'll stick with the look going forward. Of course, one has to imagine WWE will have some say in this, but if they're noticing the response to her change in attire, it would be odd if they don't let her run with it.
Sometimes The Best Things Come Out Of Unfortunate Circumstances
If Ripley's new look takes off, it will be a story to tell for a while. The fact that she wasn't planning on dressing this way for her mixed-tag match but wound up stumbling upon a look at that really caught the attention of the WWE Universe is quite cool.
