Major WWE Star Wanted Tattoo Due To CM Punk Fandom
A big name in WWE wanted a tattoo just because of CM Punk.
CM Punk is performing at a high level as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and showing no signs of slowing down, even though at 47 years old, he is one of the oldest wrestlers in the company.
Rhea Ripley is also one of WWE’s biggest stars, and she is just 29 years old, while admittedly being a huge CM Punk fan.
It’s an interesting time for some younger wrestlers on the WWE roster because they get to share the WWE spotlight with somebody like Punk, who is older than them, but still performing at a high level and having a lot of fun doing it.
Rhea Ripley Wanted Pepsi Tattoo Because Of CM Punk
One thing CM Punk and Rhea Ripley share is that both of them have a lot of tattoos. During an appearance on Nina Drama’s latest Kick stream, Ripley spoke about her Punk fandom by admitting she wanted a Pepsi tattoo since Punk has had one on his left shoulder for many years.
“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.” (H/T Fightful)
