WWE’s Rhea Ripley “Killed” Onstage by Art the Clown During ICE NINE KILLS Headlining Set

The worlds of wrestling, horror, and heavy music collided in Worcester, MA, on September 13 at Ice Nine Kills’ annual Silver Scream Con. During the band’s performance at the DCU Center, they were joined by WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley — only for her dream cameo to end in brutal fashion at the hands of Terrifier star Art the Clown.

Art, portrayed by David Howard Thornton, made his way onstage and tangled with Ripley, stealing her Labubu monster plush. After a slap exchange, Art dropped her with a cleaver shot, leading “medical staff” to rush in and wheel away Ripley’s lifeless body as the crowd roared. Fan-filmed footage can be found below.

For Ripley, the moment was more than just theatrics — it was the fulfillment of a long-running dream. She’s openly shared her love for the Terrifier franchise and even manifested the idea of being “killed” by Art in the future. Ripley has also teamed with Art for special Hot Topic merch, and after the show she wrote:

“I may have just lived my dream ???? Thank you @SilverScreamCon @ICENINEKILLS and EVERYBODY involved! ????????????”
