Rhea Ripley has elaborated on her opinion of Rey Mysterio in light of recent events.
Throughout 2022 and 2023, Ripley and Dominik Mysterio made the Hall of Famer’s life hell on multiple occasions, which included unannounced visits to the Mysterio household.
Fast forward to the present day and a lot has changed. While Mysterio still has issues with his father, the former North American Champion ended his alliance with Mami at SummerSlam by instead choosing to side with Liv Morgan. With Ripley no longer aligned with Dom, have her opinions on Rey Mysterio changed?
While appearing on Casual Conversations, the former Women’s Champion stated that while she is not going to contradict herself, Rey is currently the more liked of the 2 Mysterios:
“I’m not gonna be immature like Dom and contradict everything I’ve done in the past and said in the past what he has been doing in every single interview. He has been playing me out to be this bad guy, this villain in his life—which I wasn’t. I cared for him, and I loved him.
So I’m not gonna do that about this situation either. I’m gonna stand on everything I said back then. I do think that Dom had to get out of Rey’s shadow. I do believe that. Rey was picking Edge over his own son—a man who literally speared Dom in the middle of the ring, looked at him, went ‘uh,’ and then ran after Finn Bálor. That man did not care about Rey Mysterio’s son.
So why is Rey picking Edge over Dom? So I’m not gonna contradict myself and say that I do think Rey was in the right. Because I do think Rey was in the wrong. But at the same time, I think that Dom has hurt me in a bigger way than Rey ever hurt me. So he’s more in my good books than Dom is right now.”
