Rhea Ripley comments on the “sexy pin” she uses in WWE

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Rhea Ripley commented on the “sexy pin” she uses in WWE…

“So that actually started in Australia. I’ve been doing it for a long time. I pinned Zack Sabbath that way, which was an intergender match that I had. But I’ve been doing it for a long time. And I think the reason that it’s really stuck with me is because Matt and Chris Basso, my trainers, they used to call it the sexy pin, and we used to laugh about it every time we’d do it, we’d be like, ha sexy pin. So it’s just like, I think that’s just stuck in my head. I don’t know why. It’s just my automatic movements now. It works. Very Rhea.”

Rhea also discussed the viral video of herself giving Nia Jax a Rikishi stinkface…

“I knew it was gonna be big, but that sh*t exploded. It wasn’t even my idea. It was Nia’s idea. She’s like, ‘Yeah. And then you stink face me.’ I’m like, ok, if you want. But then, before all of that, I was like, I think I should do like the Rikishi pull them up, just do the little dance beforehand. I was like, I’m not gonna get it spot on, so I’m just gonna do my own thing. But I’ll do the whole gimmick and yeah, it still pops up on my Twitter, it’s wild. I got so much publicity off that, but I also got so much like, negativity. I was like guys, you need to calm down.” (quotes courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
