The story behind the build
When Rhea Ripley received her custom arcade from Phantom Arcades, the design told a perfectly balanced story. The cabinet was split straight down the middle—on the left, Rhea’s WWE journey took center stage, featuring powerful imagery from her time with Judgment Day and her championship reigns. On the opposite side was her husband Buddy Matthews, highlighted through his dark, striking House of Black visuals and standout AEW moments. Together, the arcade became a bold, unified tribute to both of their careers—two worlds, two legacies, fused into arcade centerpiece.
