Stephanie McMahon Goes Full Goth for Rhea Ripley Entrance on ESPN+ Show

Stephanie McMahon is no stranger to commanding attention, but on the latest episode of her ESPN+ series, Stephanie's Places, she took things to a whole new level by stepping into the boots—and makeup—of WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley.

In a segment that had fans buzzing, Stephanie embraced her "inner goth," donning Ripley's signature dark attire and edgy makeup to join her for a mock entrance at the WWE Performance Center.

Reflecting on the experience, Stephanie shared her enthusiasm: "I love your music, my famous last words," Stephanie joked. "Little did I know Rhea had a bit of a surprise for me. Not many people get the opportunity to accompany Rhea Ripley on stage. How could I say no, and if I’m doing it, I’m going all in." ​

Fans are loving Stephanie's new look.

Stephanie's transformation wasn't just about the look; it was about embodying the presence that Ripley brings to the ring. She noted:​ "For more than two decades, I’ve been a part of many entrances, but nothing could be cooler than actually becoming Rhea Ripley. I could feel Rhea’s energy, even with no fans in the stands. She has tremendous stature, poise, intelligence, strength, and vulnerability. Like Stone Cold said, Rhea Ripley is the total package." ​

Fans can catch the full episode of Stephanie's Places streaming now on ESPN+. ​
