URGENT UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, WWE star Rhea Ripley was “killed” by Art the Clown during a live concert with Ice Nine Kills at the Silver Scream Con on September 14, 2025. This dramatic moment unfolded on stage, captivating horror and wrestling fans alike.
The spectacle began when Ripley and Art engaged in a playful exchange of slaps, but it escalated quickly. Art delivered a fatal blow, leading to Ripley being carried off stage by individuals dressed as medical staff, heightening the theatrical experience.
After the performance, the 28-year-old wrestler took to X to express her excitement, stating, “I may have just lived my dream. Thank you @SilverScreamCon @ICENINEKILLS and EVERYBODY involved,” accompanied by emojis of a face holding back tears, a black heart, and a knife. This emotional reaction underscores Ripley’s deep admiration for horror, particularly the Terrifier franchise.
Ripley’s passion for horror is well-documented. Earlier this year, she revealed in an interview with Chris Van Vliet her desire to appear in the upcoming Terrifier 4, stating, “Oh, I would love that. I want to be in Terrifier [4] so badly. It’s the last one… Kill me. Kill me, I don’t care.” Her enthusiasm exemplifies her commitment to the genre, making this collaboration with Ice Nine Kills a dream come true.
The partnership between WWE and the Terrifier franchise has proven successful, with Hot Topic recently launching a line of merchandise featuring Ripley and Art the Clown. This collaboration highlights Ripley’s mainstream appeal beyond the wrestling ring.
Moreover, Ripley is not the first wrestler to cross into the horror realm. Chris Jericho made a brief yet memorable appearance in Terrifier 3, further intertwining the worlds of wrestling and horror. As anticipation builds for Terrifier 4, which promises to explore Art’s backstory, fans are eager to see what’s next for Ripley.
While Art may have triumphed in this staged encounter, WWE fans can expect to see Ripley back in action soon, as she is currently engaged in a rivalry with Asuka on WWE Raw.
Stay tuned for the latest developments on Rhea Ripley and her thrilling ventures in both wrestling and horror. This captivating event has left fans buzzing, and you won’t want to miss what’s next!
