Rhea Ripley has discussed her burgeoning relationship with the very impressionable Dominik Mysterio and says she can be his Papi or his Mami.
Dominik Mysterio caused an uproar at Clash at the Castle following his father Rey Mysterio and Edge’s victory over The Judgment Day. The young Mysterio nailed Edge with a low blow kick before clotheslining his father in shades of how Eddie Guerrero turned on Rey Mysterio many years ago.
Now Dominik Mysterio is part of The Judgment Day but one member seems to have him particularly enthralled, former Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley.
Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Ripley noted that she had been trying to irritate Dominik by referring to herself as his Papi, but now she can be Mami or Papi just as long as the young star knows that she’s one of them:
“I mean, wouldn’t you like to know? Wouldn’t everyone like to know? But my relationship with Dominik is something that I keep with Dominik, okay, so I’m not going to go too in depth with it. But I see a lot on him, like we all do. I could see that Rey was taking advantage of him and not really giving him the spotlight that he really deserves, where he can blossom and just take charge of his own life.”
“Like he said, he was in his father’s shadow, and he couldn’t get out, so we gave him that opportunity. As for the Mami and Papi stuff, [laughs] I love every single aspect of that. I called myself Papi before just to sort of get under his skin and get through to bin and also just make fun of Rey. Dom Dom gets what he wants. If he wants Mami, it’s Mami. If he wants Papi, it’s Papi. Either or, as long as he knows that I’m one of them.”
