Rhea Ripley has elevated her Goth Queen vibe at the Netflix Tudum event, this time bringing in a Lady Gaga twist. Shortly after WWE’s appearance at Tudum, Ripley shared a Twitter clip showing herself emerging from the same iconic coffin Lady Gaga used during one of her theatrical stage performances—a sleek black-and-white coffin labeled "Here is the Monster Queen," originally part of Gaga’s eerie set in the Wednesday theme segment. Ripley couldn’t resist playing along.
In her tweet, Ripley joked, "Sorry @ladygaga I accidentally infiltrated your co 💀#tadum #wednesday," referencing the crossover. Her coffin surprise was just part of WWE’s packed showcase at the event. Ripley joined other WWE stars like CM Punk, Liv Morgan, Dominic Mysterio, and Raquel Rodriguez on stage to promote upcoming WWE projects, including the Unrealistic series. Tensions flared when Liv Morgan called out Ripley for stealing “dirty Dominic,” sparking a tense showdown that CM Punk had to defuse.
During WWE’s segment, fans were also treated to a surprise trailer for One Piece Season 2, making it one of Tudum’s highlights. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga made waves with her Wednesday performances, dancing with characters like Lurch and Thing while performing hits like “Abracadabra,” “Zombie Boy,” and “Bloody Mary.” Gaga is also set to appear in Wednesday Season 2 later this year.
Ripley’s coffin stunt perfectly captures her playful and gothic fan persona, and if Lady Gaga caught wind of it, she’d likely give it her seal of approval.
