WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley

WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley recently opened up about her relationship with Dominik Mysterio.

Dominik and his father, Rey Mysterio, initially feuded with Judgment Day. The former NXT North American Champion was attacked by Ripley multiple times before he turned heel and attacked his dad and Edge at Clash at the Castle in September 2022. The 26-year-old then joined the heal faction and became Ripley’s on-screen boyfriend.

Speaking on Notsam Wrestling LIVE, the Women’s World Champion addressed her relationship with Dominik. Mami claimed Dirty Dom fell madly in love with her after she choked the latter with her legs.

“[Did you kind of realize instantly that there was an incredible on-screen chemistry between you and Dominik?] No, not really. It was actually quite awkward to start with. We hadn’t really talked to each other much before I mean it was a simple like, ‘Hello, how are you?’ every now and then when we saw each other. But apart from that, I mean, we didn’t really have a conversation until I started, you know, choking him out with my legs and he fell madly in love with me. I don’t blame him,” she said.

The WWE Superstar added:

“But I don’t know, it sort of just, it grew more and more. We were on screen together. I mean, you end up spending more time with the people you work with and the people you surround yourself with. We travel together, we work together, we are a family. So, it was only a matter of time before that bond sort of grew with all of us, not just between Dom and I, but all of us.” [5:20 – 6:10]
