In the ever-evolving world of WWE, storylines and character dynamics often blur the lines between fiction and reality. One such intriguing storyline has captivated the WWE Universe, featuring Rhea Ripley, known as “The Eradicator,” and Dominik Mysterio, and it’s causing quite a stir on social media.
Rhea Ripley’s Rise to Prominence
Rhea Ripley has solidified her status as one of the top female WWE Superstars on the Raw brand, earning both accolades and a dedicated fanbase. Her in-ring prowess and commanding presence have made her a standout figure in the world of professional wrestling. However, it’s her on-screen chemistry with Dominik Mysterio that has garnered significant attention.
F-word

It’s important to note that the romantic relationship portrayed on-screen between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio has no connection to their real-life personas. In reality, the two WWE Superstars have separate dating lives. Despite this, Dominik often affectionately refers to Ripley as his “Mami.” Ripley, on the other hand, recently added fuel to the storyline by tattooing the words “Dirty Dom” on her face, blurring the lines between fiction and reality even further.
Buddy Matthews’ Involvement
The on-screen romance hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially by Buddy Matthews, formerly known as Buddy Murphy, who happens to be Rhea Ripley’s real-life boyfriend. Matthews recently made headlines when he threatened Dominik Mysterio for growing closer to his girlfriend. This incident caused Matthews, now an AEW wrestler, to trend on Twitter as fans discussed the intricacies of the romantic storyline on WWE Raw and its potential impact on the AEW star.

The Beginning of the Love Story
The storyline between Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley began in the summer of 2022 when they were paired up. This pairing came as a result of Dominik’s betrayal of his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, following last year’s Clash at the Castle in September. Their on-screen relationship also fueled a feud between Rey and Dominik, with the lovebirds making appearances at Rey’s home during special occasions, further intensifying the father-son storyline.
Ultimately, their feud culminated at WrestleMania 39, with Rey emerging victorious in a heated battle.
Dominik’s First Singles Title Win
In a recent development, Dominik Mysterio achieved a significant milestone in his wrestling career by winning the NXT North American Championship. He achieved this feat with assistance from Rhea Ripley and their Judgment Day cohorts. This group’s presence is now set to expand to both Raw and NXT, adding another layer of complexity to this evolving storyline.
