The Australian couple began dating in 2022 and got engaged last year.

Ripley has been vocal about their relationship, expressing mutual support for each other’s successes in their respective wrestling careers. She emphasized that Matthews is not threatened by her top position in WWE and is comfortable with her achievements. Ripley has been sidelined from WWE since April due to a legitimate shoulder injury, which forced her to relinquish her WWE Women’s World Championship. Reports suggest that Ripley, a member of The Judgment Day, could potentially return to WWE at SummerSlam on August 3.
During Rhea Ripley’s absence, her on-screen partner, Dominik Mysterio, has found himself entangled in a romantic storyline with Liv Morgan, the current Women’s World Champion. This development has added layers of intrigue and drama to the ongoing narrative, particularly given Morgan’s role in causing Ripley’s injury.
Dominik’s involvement with Morgan has not only intensified the storyline but also set the stage for potential future conflicts and alliances. The romantic angle brings an element of unpredictability, as fans speculate about Ripley’s reaction upon her return and how it will affect her relationship with Dominik. The tension between Morgan and Ripley, fueled by the injury incident, promises to create compelling dynamics within the WWE universe.
Morgan, on her part, has embraced her role as the Women’s World Champion with vigor, using her newfound association with Dominik to further her storyline and add depth to her character. This narrative twist adds complexity to her championship reign, making her interactions with other superstars even more captivating.
As Ripley recuperates, the evolving storyline involving Dominik and Morgan keeps the audience engaged, with the anticipation of Ripley’s eventual comeback adding to the excitement. Her return is expected to bring a dramatic shift in the narrative, potentially leading to intense confrontations and new rivalries that will captivate WWE fans.
