Rhea Ripley stands out today as one of the most extraordinary talents from the squared circle of WWE. She is among the biggest attractions from the current set of the roster, wearing the Women’s Championship a handful of times.
Her wrestling look and style are distinctive from others. Mami sports a gothic look on TV with dark black make-up. The appearance alongside the black outfit gives her character a menacing and dominant presence. However, outside the world of WWE, Rhea Ripley’s no-makeup look is a familiar sight.
This piece delves into a different side of Mami outside the squared circle, showcasing some of her best natural appearances.
1) Demonstrating The Ink Work
Apart from Rhea’s makeup in the ring, the beautiful inkwork on her body places her among female wrestlers with most beautiful tattoos. She has tattoos all over her body, starting from both legs and abdomen to the hand.
The former Women’s World Champion recently did a photoshoot, showcasing her visually striking tattoos on her body. The photoshoot slide of four pictures features her natural look, without any makeup.
Collaborating with her tattoo artist name, Celeste Payne, Ripley is recommending the Florida-based tattooist to her millions of followers.
2) Hours Before SummerSlam Event
SunmerSlam 2024 remained a turning point in Rhea Ripley’s career, setting the stage for a new trajectory in her WWE journey. Challenging Liv Morgan for the World Women’s Championship, she fell short of victory due to a double cross from Dominik Mysterio.
Dom Dom broke his loyalty to Ripley, choosing to ally with Liv Morgan at the closing moment of the World Women’s Championship match. Mami had a great look at SummerSlam with a purple attire and dark makeup.
This image was captured hours prior to the start of the PLE this year in Cleveland. Wearing a jumpsuit, it is a Rhea Ripley no makeup natural look.
3) Straight Out Of Bed
Rhea Ripley has a strong presence on social media, especially Instagram, sharing small details from her life and prompting her on-screen character. She seldom wears dark makeup outside the squared circle.
It is a bedroom shot of Mami, capturing the natural appearance beyond the ring. As she holds her hands up, her belly tattoos are on display here. Seeing the background setting, it is not hard to guess it is a bedroom shot.
4) Rhea Ripley With Her Two Close Friends
WWE officially signed Rhea Ripley in 2017. Meanwhile, she wasn’t a rookie in the professional wrestling business. Her wrestling career began in Australia, her home country.
After training for an extensive period, her debut wrestling year was in 2014. In Rhea Ripley’s career prior to making big in WWE, she wrestled for a promotion called Riot City Wrestling. During her tenure there, she made some lifelong friends, with whom she still shares a strong connection after the WWE fame.
Mami is pictured with her long-time friends and colleagues in Riot City Wrestling, Gabriel Aeros and Eli Theseus. Seen without the makeup on, they are in Las Vegas. In the second slide of the photo, the trio is snapped from their indie days, with Ripley wearing the RCW Women’s Championship.
5) The Couple’s Selfie
The real life of professional wrestlers is strikingly contrasting from their TV characters. The former World Women’s Champion was in a romantic relationship with Dominik Mysterio, spanning over two years before the latter turned on her.
However, outside the ring, they are only colleagues, with both Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio being married to other people. Mami is in wedlock with the former WWE star and the current AEW wrestler, Buddy Matthews, who is an integral part of the House of Black.
It is an adorable picture, highlighting her true connection with the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Relaxed at home, this is a Rhea Ripley no makeup picture with long dark hair.
6) The Engagement Potrait
Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews are currently married, and they got engaged more than a year ago. On August 10, 2023, the AEW star popped up the big question to the Mami of WWE, seemingly while hanging out on a beach.
It’s a precious engagement picture of Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews from their engagement day. With a scenic ocean background, Mami is planting a kiss on his cheek, captioning ‘yes’ to his question. Despite the fact, that this is an engagement picture, she appears without makeup.
7) Rhea Ripley’s WWE Live Show Picture
Unlike WWE’s weekly televised programs or PLEs, the Superstars do not have similar restrictions. Wrestlers get the freedom to do different things and even try unconventional looks from their TV personalities.
Whenever Rhea competes in WWE Live shows, she refrains from having the gothic look, demonstrating the confidence of keeping a natural appearance in front of fans.
Here is an unfiltered Rhea Ripley no-makeup shot from one of the WWE Live shows. Taken last year, she is snapped with her former love interest, Dominik Mysterio.
