Rhea Ripley has an on-screen relationship with Dominik Mysterio, which is currently one of the hottest things in WWE. However, she is in a committed relationship with AEW superstar Buddy Matthews. Even though they both work on different promotions, their bond is strong and flourishing.

Ripley recently defended her Women’s World Championship against Raquel Rodriguez. Nia Jax made her much-awaited return to this week on Monday Night Raw and attacked The Eradicator after her match. Ripley has yet to react to the vicious attack from Jax. It will be interesting to see how the Judgment Day member retaliates against the brutality of the former Women’s Champion.
