Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest unveiled matching tattoos as they prepare for WWE SummerSlam 2025 this weekend at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. While Ripley is set to compete in a title match at the pay-per-view event, Priest will instead face Aleister Black on SmackDown that same night.
The pair, formerly known as The Terror Twins, demonstrated their continued bond with the same tattoo design despite pursuing separate paths in WWE. Priest revealed his tattoo on social media earlier today, followed by Ripley sharing an identical one on her Instagram account.
Past Alliances and Recent WWE Storylines
Ripley and Priest both once belonged to the faction The Judgment Day, which betrayed them last year at the previous SummerSlam. At that event, Dominik Mysterio abandoned Ripley to support Liv Morgan instead. Dominik Mysterio will defend the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles during this year’s SummerSlam.
Reflections on Ripley’s Wrestling Style
Former WWE star EC3 commented on Ripley’s approach to her matches, discussing the challenges she faces in making her opponents look strong. Speaking on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Outlaws show, EC3 praised Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez but noted they often worked “down” to their opponents to elevate them during televised matches.
“I don’t want to be critical of Rhea or Raquel, ’cause I am an avid fan of both of them. But working down is something that they probably feel they have to do to make other people look good. ‘Cause sometimes, as a professional too, we want to make someone like, there is an honor in making somebody look good.” —EC3, Former NWA Champion
This insight highlights the complexities Ripley encounters as she competes in high-stakes WWE matches, where storytelling and respect among performers are crucial.
Anticipation Builds for Ripley’s Title Match at SummerSlam
With WWE SummerSlam 2025 imminent, all eyes remain on Ripley as she aims to reclaim the Women’s World Championship. Her partnership with Damian Priest, marked by their matching tattoos, symbolizes a meaningful connection before they engage in separate battles this weekend.
Their shared tattoo serves as a reminder of their history while underscoring the tensions and rivalries that continue to shape WWE storylines heading into this major event.
