WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley recently spoke with The Today Show in Australia on a number of topics including where her “Nightmare” nickname came from.
Ripley said, “I sort of give it to myself because I thought it was very fitting.” “I got it from Motionless In White. One of their songs said, ‘I’m the nightmare that will haunt you in the night,’ and I was like, ‘That’s amazing.’”
“They’re my favorite band and I look a lot like Chris Motionless, who is the lead singer, so I thought it was very fitting to call myself ‘The Nightmare,’ especially with the way that I handle people in the ring because every time they step in there, it’s their worst nightmare.”
