Rhea Ripley Names Her Dominant Pinning Move, “The Pretzel Pin”

ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Rhea Ripley has established herself as one of WWE\’s most dominant Superstars in recent years, evidenced by her impressive collection of championships and accolades. Now, Ripley has added another memorable moment to her career by officially naming her signature, suggestive pinning maneuver. At WWE Bash in Berlin, Ripley used the ‘authoritative’ pin on Liv Morgan to score the win for the Terror Twins.

Speaking with Peter Rosenberg and Jackie Redmond on the Bash in Berlin post-show, Ripley said the move shares its name with a local delicacy.

\”I like to call it ‘the pretzel pin.’ It’s very fitting.\

– Rhea Ripley

Damian Priest jokingly dubbed the maneuver the, \”Take it Easy pin\” which got a laugh. Whatever the move is called, Rhea Ripley has proven to be a relentless force in WWE with many expecting that it won\’t be long before she holds championship gold again.

What\’s to Come?

On this week’s episode of RAW, Ripley made it clear that she wants a match with Liv Morgan for the WWE Women\’s World Title, a title Ripley was never defeated for. Although Dominik Mysterio claimed Morgan wasn’t present at the show, this turned out to be a ruse, allowing Liv to ambush Ripley.

Later that night, Morgan attempted to assist Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh in their non-title match against Priest and Jey Uso. However, Ripley intervened, chasing Morgan away and helping Priest and Uso secure the win. Ripley also had some fun after this week\’s Monday Night RAW with Jey Uso and Priest but will be all business when she faces Liv Morgan in the ring.
