Rhea Ripley thought she was better off playing - in her own words expressed on the Ringer podcast earlier this year - a “girl next door” type.
Parallels have since been made between this early “character” and Charlotte Flair, and while they don’t really exist, you can understand Rhea’s perspective: she was vying for a spot on WWE’s main roster and assumed, using precedent, that she was better off doing so as a blonde.
It didn’t take - and so she took it upon herself to tweak her presentation.
Drawing on heavy metal/gothic aesthetics, Rhea modified both her look and physique. She didn’t merely dye her hair black to look like a wrestler who enjoyed listening to metal music.
She became a metal wrestler, invoking the essence of the genre in her work. She is incredibly powerful and nasty in the ring. An anti-poser, her über-ripped back accentuates her superb hoss stylings, and the thick thigh muscles allow her an awe-inspiring burst of explosive acceleration.
She looks more than capable of ripping somebody’s face off, of toying with her opponents - and is quite possibly the hardest women’s wrestler in the history of the United States.
