In 2022, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley began an on-screen relationship that would last until Dirty Dom’s betrayal of ‘Mami’ at WWE SummerSlam 2024. Away from WWE, Ripley recently tied the knot to her real-life partner Buddy Matthews who has had some choice words for the treacherous Mysterio.
During an Instagram Live stream, Matthews was asked about a potential showdown between himself and Dominik Mysterio. The former AEW Trios Champion was immensely confident, and suggested the only way Mysterio would have a chance was if Matthews was one of Dominik’s favorite foods.
“Dom and me would be one on half. Only way Dom would beat me is if I was a chicken tender and he was hungry.”
Matthews joined AEW the same year that Ripley and Dominik became an on-screen item, though this relationship wasn’t an issue for the real-life couple. In August of this year, Ripley said that there is “a level of respect” between herself and Matthews, and since he’s in the wrestling business, he knows that what airs on TV shouldn’t be taken as real.
What’s To Come?
Ripley will challenge Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan at WWE Bad Blood on October 5, in a rematch from their SummerSlam encounter. With Dominik Mysterio set to be in Morgan’s corner, the odds will be against the Australian as she intends to capture the title she was never beaten for.
