At the Zuffa Boxing 4 event held on March 8 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, WWE Women’s Championship No. 1 Contender Rhea Ripley revealed an unexpected plan involving a CM Punk-inspired tattoo. Attending the event to support Australian boxer Jai Opetaia, Ripley appeared on social media influencer Nina Drama’s live stream, where she discussed her early admiration for wrestling and her intention to get CM Punk’s distinctive Pepsi logo tattooed on one of her fingers.

Rhea Ripley’s Connection to CM Punk and the Pepsi Tattoo

Ripley explained that growing up as a wrestling fan, CM Punk was one of her favorites. She openly shared her desire to have the Pepsi tattoo, saying,

“I wanted to, because I grew up obviously watching wrestling,”

and added,

“Punk was one of my favorites.”

She elaborated on her tattoo idea:

“I wanted to get a Pepsi tattoo on my finger. A Pepsi tattoo on my finger. Yeah, because he’s got the big Pepsi tattoo. Because he’s straight edge, and I was like, I love CM Punk. I want a Pepsi tattoo. I didn’t even drink Pepsi back then.”

Jai Opetaia’s Victory at Zuffa Boxing 4

Meanwhile, Jai Opetaia, fellow Australian and the athlete Ripley came to support, triumphed over Brandon Glanton to become the first-ever Zuffa Boxing Champion. This win adds another prestigious title to Opetaia’s collection, which already includes The Ring and IBF Cruiserweight belts. The event garnered notable attention not only for Opetaia’s historic achievement but also for Ripley’s presence among the crowd.

Social Media Highlights from the Event

Social media influencer Nina Drama actively engaged with fans during the night, sharing moments from the event that featured Ripley. She tweeted,

“We’ve got Mami Rhea Ripley in the house! She’s here to support fellow Aussie badass Jai Opetai fight for the Zuffa Boxing Championship! Don’t miss her at Wrestlemania 42 wrestle for the WWE Women’s Championship! @RheaRipley_WWE @WWE @ufc @Zuffa_Boxing.”

Additionally, Nina posted,

“Two Mamis at Zuffa Boxing! Enjoying some fun fights with Rhea Ripley @RheaRipley_WWE,”

highlighting the lively atmosphere at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.

What This Means for Rhea Ripley and Wrestling Fans

Ripley’s shared tattoo plan serves as a unique glimpse into her personal connection to wrestling history and the influences that shaped her passion. While she ultimately did not pursue the CM Punk Pepsi tattoo, the revelation symbolizes her admiration for icons of the sport and her steadfast identity as a dedicated fan and athlete. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, Ripley’s focus remains on competing for the WWE Women’s Championship, promising an energized and determined performance for fans worldwide.

Jai Opetaia’s new Zuffa Boxing Champion title also signals an exciting development in boxing, as he continues to establish himself as a dominant force in the cruiserweight division.
