Rhea Ripley proved herself once again by defending her title during the first night of WrestleMania XL. Her match kicked off the night and the event as it delivered on the promise of exhilarating action and storytelling. After Becky Lynch‘s entrance, Ripley’s theme song rumbled the stadium. However, a surprise awaited WWE fans who waited for her to enter the arena.
The Eradicator entered the stadium slightly after it was revealed that she wouldn’t be rocking the arena alone. The band ‘Motionless in White’ performed Ripley’s theme song live for the audience. The synergy between the band and the wrestler was admirable, leaving us wondering about the relationship they shared.

‘Motionless in White’ created the theme song ‘Demon in your Dreams’ which fans now vibe with whenever Rhea Ripley enters the arena. The Scranton-based band performed the electrifying song live. The chemistry between the performers and the in-ring talent couldn’t be overlooked. If you were looking for some familial connection between Ripley and Chris Motionless, then you might not be satisfied knowing that they don’t share any relationship other than a professional bond.
The band includes Chris Motionless as the lead singer, who is also usually on the rhythm guitar. The band originated in 2004 when Chris and two other former members were in high school. Now, the band includes Vinny Mauro on the acoustic drum kit, Ryan Sitkowski as lead guitarist, and Justin Morrow plays the bass guitar.
Even though the lead singer and Ripley don’t share a familial connection, we can’t ignore that they looked pretty similar during their entrance. Mami also discussed the same thing and showed her love for the band.

I’m so glad and so happy and so privileged and so ecstatic that I got to share that with Motionless in White.” She further added, “We look like twins and I absolutely love it.”
