Rhea Ripley's WWE Hell In A Cell 2022 look was a product of circumstance rather than choice.

The Judgment Day member emerged for her, Edge, and Damian Priest's six-person tag against Liv Morgan, AJ Styles, and Finn Balor clad in unfamiliar attire. Gone were her usual full-length black tights, replaced with shorter trunks, while a purple-coloured top stretched across her chest and all the way down her right arm to her hand.

Per Rhea herself, the gear was improvised when her attire did not arrive at the building on time:-

Ripley was instrumental in The Judgment Day's win over Styles, Balor, and Morgan. She stood in front of Balor when he was readying Edge for the Coup De Grace, causing a distraction, and although Rhea was soon wiped out by Morgan, the interjection gave Edge enough time to roll away from the Coup, nail a Spear, and score the finish on Finn.

Rhea has been with Edge and Priest since joining The Judgment Day at WrestleMania Backlash 2022 last month. She had been teaming with Morgan prior to this, though she had turned heel on Liv after a failed attempt at winning the Women's Tag Team Championships in April.
