Rhea Ripley recently spoke out about the family drama involving her ex-boyfriend Dominik Mysterio. Their relationship started in WWE Clash at the Castle in 2022 when Dominik turned against his father and joined The Judgment Day. From that point on, he embraced a villainous persona and his singles career flourished without his father by his side.
Ripley played a significant role in guiding Dominik through a major heel turn, helping him distance himself from his father and showcasing his struggles with his family. However, at WWE SummerSlam, Dominik shocked Ripley by siding with her rival Liv Morgan, leading to a rift between them.
In a recent interview, Rhea Ripley discussed Dominik’s ongoing family issues, attributing them to his desire to escape his father’s shadow. She pointed out that Dominik seemed to have issues with his family, especially with the way he embraced being called ‘daddy’ and his reluctance to call her ‘mami.’
Ripley also touched on Rey Mysterio’s preference for Edge over his own son, suggesting that Dominik needed to step out of his father’s shadow. She expressed that while Rey may have been in the wrong, Dominik’s actions hurt her more than Rey ever did, causing a strain in their relationship.
Following the events at WWE SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley has parted ways with The Judgment Day and her partner Damian Priest has faced challenges from Finn Balor. Despite these setbacks, Ripley is set to compete for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WWE Bad Blood next month, while Priest will take on Balor in a match at the same event.
As the drama continues to unfold in the world of WWE, fans are eager to see how Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio’s storylines will progress and whether they will be able to mend their fractured relationship. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing saga in the world of professional wrestling.
