Rhea Ripley recently made an on-stage appearance during metalcore band Motionless In White’s November 5 concert in Orlando, Florida.
The band frontman, Chris Motionless publicly thanked Ripley for helping bring metal music and gothic culture to audiences around the world.
The Aussie star appeared onstage at the Kia Center during the group’s “Sweat and Blood Tour” stop. The band dedicated its song “Fight Like Hell” to Ripley, who inspired the track.
For Ripley, the connection goes well beyond having a favorite band. She has openly shared her admiration for Motionless In White, while her dark, metal-inspired WWE presentation has made their music a natural fit.
“Fight Like Hell,” featured on the band’s 2026 album Decades, adds another personal connection. Written as a tribute to Ripley, the track uses wrestling-inspired imagery.
She previously shared an emotional response to the song on social media, with Chris expressing his appreciation for her continued support. The album was released on July 17 through Roadrunner Records.
Their friendship had already produced a memorable crossover at WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia in April 2024. Motionless In White performed “Demon In Your Dreams” live as Ripley walked to the ring for her championship match against Becky Lynch.
