WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley references Randy Orton in three-word message ahead of Elimination Chamber

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley referenced Randy Orton in a bold three-word message ahead of the upcoming Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.

The show will be held at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, and will witness some enthralling bouts. WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley will defend her title against Nia Jax in a singles match, whereas her stablemates Finn Balor and Damian Priest will defend their Undisputed Tag Team Championship against Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.

Taking to social media, The Eradicator uploaded a photo with Judgment Day member Dominik Mysterio as she mentioned that she can "hear voices." Ripley is also seen carrying a snake around her shoulder in the same photo. This is clearly a reference to Randy Orton, who is nicknamed The Viper in WWE. The start of Orton's theme song also goes along the lines of "I hear voices in my head..."

​

"I hear voices [emoji]," wrote Ripley.

WWE RAW Superstar Rhea Ripley opened up about the gradual progress of her heel character

Speaking on The Ringer's Wrestling Show podcast, Ripley asserted how the transformation occurred in her on-screen character.

She spoke about her love for studded jackets, dark makeup, and hair color that gave her a bold look. Mami also added that this gave her the confidence to accept self-identity.

​

​

"I love the studded jackets, I love the painted jackets. I love the black makeup, the black hair. I’ve always loved that grungy look. And that’s been me, deep down. I’ve just been hiding it for so long because I was trying to be the girl next door, the beachy sort of vibes, but it wasn’t me. But after I had a little discussion with myself, I stopped caring about what they wanted from me."
