AEW star Buddy Matthews has discussed the potential of somehow getting involved in the ongoing storyline involving Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
The storyline involving Ripley and Mysterio has been going on for over 2 years with Ripley being the driving force behind Mysterio’s heel turn and joining The Judgment Day. Remaining close with Mysterio until SummerSlam 2024, the relationship crumbled when Mysterio made his choice and left Mami for Liv Morgan.
Wrestling fans are very aware that the relationship was purely for the show as in real life Ripley is married to Matthews. With this in mind, the AEW star has been asked about the storyline and if he can see himself being inserted.
While appearing at a signing for K & S WrestleFest, the former Trios Champion believed that there was potential to be involved in an angle with the WWE stars, adding that some ideas have been discussed:
Oh, 100 percent (there’s potential for an angle with myself, Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio)… And we’ve fantasy-booked and I’ve thrown ideas at her. She’s like, ‘That would be so cool.’ Obviously, don’t wanna let it out because if it ever eventually did ever happen, it’s something cool to kind of play off but, it’s definitely ways to do it which would be very smart and catch people.
But, I had Dom’s first or second match in WWE. I was there with Seth (Rollins) when he hit him with a Singapore cane 100 times. I ‘dated’ his sister, you know what I mean? I was a part of the Mysterio family. Long-term storytelling is there if we wanted to go back and do it, and the footage is there so, whether it is a relationship-form or just insert — there’s ways of doing it.
Buddy Matthews Teases Another Forbidden Door Opening
Continuing, Matthews stated that while he is in a different company to Ripley and Mysterio, there are still ways that the angle could happen:
So, and then again, with where we are with wrestling today, you can break that fourth wall in a way. They do in Deadpool & Wolverine… Maybe there’s a forbidden door that’s unknown and may open up eventually. Who knows? But, all we can do is play cards that we have in front of us down so, you know, you never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow that could be good, bad. Anything can happen in any given day whether it’s in the ring, in business, it could be at home, could be on the way to the airport. You just don’t know, so, anything could change.”
