WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley recently discussed Seth Rollins’ apology to her real-life partner Buddy Matthews (Buddy Murphy) and on-screen boyfriend Dominik Mysterio after a controversial incident on RAW.
Incident on RAW
During a recent RAW episode, Rollins teamed up with AJ Styles for a match against Finn Balor and Damian Priest. During the match, Rollins approached Ripley, mistaking her for Dominik, and put his arm around her shoulder. Ripley initially thought that Rollins was Dominik but screamed and jumped away when she realized her mistake.
Rollins’ Apology
On an episode of The Bump, Rollins apologized to Ripley, Dominik, and Matthews, expressing his hope that they were not too offended. In an interview with Battleground Podcast, Ripley revealed that Matthews had accepted Rollins’ apology but that Dominik wants revenge for the incident.
Revenge on the Horizon
Discussing Dominik’s reaction, Ripley said, “I feel like it lit a fire under him where he wants some revenge. Yeah, I haven’t talked to him in the last 24 hours about it, but I know that he wasn’t very happy. We had a little back and forth straight afterward where I was like why like ‘Why didn’t you do something?’ And I think he definitely wants to get him back.” With tensions running high, it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold in the WWE.
