In 2021, Aalyah Mysterio and current AEW star Buddy Matthews (FKA Buddy Murphy) were briefly involved in a romantic storyline.
As noted, last night’s RAW saw Rhea Ripley making her WWE return and crashing a backstage celebration held in honor of Rey Mysterio’s 20-year WWE anniversary. Ripley’s emergence prompted Aalyah to charge toward The Nightmare, leading to a brief confrontation between the two ladies. Ripley would then shove Aalyah, allowing Finn Balor and Damian Priest to blindside the Mysterios and carry out a vicious backstage attack.
Matthews, the current real-life boyfriend of Rhea, reacted to the segment via Twitter, making a suggestion on how the two ladies can fight for him.
Ripley is evidently prepared to fight for her man.
Rhea Ripley was also wearing the late Eddie Guerrero’s popular “I’m your Papi” shirt while crashing the Mysterios’ party. This was obviously a reference to the Guerrero vs. Mysterio storyline leading to the 2005 SummerSlam. As per the storyline, Guerrero revealed himself to be Dominik’s biological father and Rey had to fight off his long-time friend in a battle for custody of his child.
