Rhea Ripley Wanted Bianca Belair To Tattoo Her During NXT WarGames
Kind of a complex idea...
Former NXT Women's champion Rhea Ripley captained the winning women's WarGames team last November, as her and Candice LeRae had to overcome long odds to defeat a team captained by Shayna Baszler.
Despite the unusual nature of the match, as it functionally turned into a handicap match, it could've been even weirder, based on an idea that Ripley had.
Ripley revealed on Flash Morgan Webster's Wrestling Friends podcast that she came up with a spot for the match involving Bianca Belair that would leave a "lasting impression" on her, but it wasn't to be.
"I wanted to plan a spot with Bianca. I didn't know how it was going to work, but I wanted to make it work," recalls Ripley. "I wanted to get a battery-powered tattoo gun and I wanted Bianca to rip the fishnet in my pants and I wanted Bianca to tattoo lips on my leg while everyone held me down. I wanted it so bad. They were like, 'I don't know if that's hygienic.' Yeah, true."
