Exploring the Significance of Rhea Ripley’s Grand Entrance That Had Everyone Gasping at Crown Jewel

The Crown Jewel PLE is one of WWE’s biggest attraction magnets. While this wasn’t the first time Rhea Ripley appeared at Crown Jewel, it was certainly her most remarkable appearance.

The WWE Women’s Champion and Judgment Day member registered a highly glorious entrance as she made her way to defend her title. But why was this done, and what did her royal welcome mean? Here is how Rhea Ripley made her entrance and why it matters.

Rhea Ripley receives a royal welcome to defend her title

Rhea Ripley has been holding onto her WWE Women’s Championship ever since she defeated The Queen Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. Mami earned her shot at the title after winning the Royal Rumble despite being the first entrant in the match. A champion of this caliber deserved a grand welcome, and the Crown Jewel hosts did exactly that.

Two rows of seven men dressed in traditional Saudi garb lined up before the entryway, each holding a goblet in their hands. When Mami’s music played, she walked between the rows of men to make her way to the ring. The ramp was lit up in green lights while Ripley made her way to the ring. While this may seem like something subtle to the unaware, it is a big deal in Saudi Arabia.

It’s clear to see that Ripley’s entry was something special. Her status as the champion got her a fancy entrance, with the men seemingly paying their respect to her. Considering the social standing of men versus women in the Middle Eastern country, the entrance seems to markedly comment on Ripley’s superiority as a wrestling juggernaut. The royal welcome Mami received is a rare gesture very few are deemed worthy of.

Mami’s reputation before entering the arena was strong enough for her to deserve such a welcome. However, Mami didn’t just walk on her previous feats and reiterated her dominance by winning her Crown Jewel 2023 fixture.

Walking over everyone in the Fatal-5-Way title match

Rhea Ripley walked into the ring against four more esteemed opponents who wanted to steal her title from her. The title match was an epic showdown between Raquel Rodriguez, Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, and Rhea Ripley. While Mami was pitted against four wrestlers who didn’t even need to directly defeat her to win, Mami emerged victorious anyway.

Rhea Ripley had already taken care of 29 opponents at the Royal Rumble. Hence, just four opponents didn’t amount to much at all. The WWE universe thought that the match was over when Rodriguez had almost pinned Baszler. However, Mami delivered a vicious Riptide to Zoey Stark from the second turnbuckle, landing on Rodriguez to break the pinfall.
