Quote from Rhea Ripley

“I wanted to, because I grew up obviously watching wrestling. Punk was one of my favorites. 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.”
