Buddy Matthews Breaks Silence on Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio’s Segment

AEW star Buddy Matthews has broken his silence on the Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio segment on WWE Raw. During the show, The Judgment Day instructed Dominik to attack Jey Uso after Uso asked Ripley for her phone number. Ripley dismissed Uso’s request, claiming he was unimportant.

The Judgment Day then launched a backstage search for Jey Uso, splitting up to cover more ground. Finn Balor assigned Dominik to search a specific area before sending him to another location. Liv Morgan unexpectedly appeared, and Dirty Dom expressed frustration with her continued interference, but Morgan left when Finn returned.

Later on WWE Raw, Carlito and JD McDonagh attacked Jey Uso, but Sami Zayn came to his rescue. Backstage, Rhea Ripley inquired about the status of Carlito and JD McDonagh. However, she found out about Dominik Mysterio’s backstage encounter with Liv Morgan. Furious, Ripley forcibly brought Dirty Dom to the ring.

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio entered the ring, with Ripley calling out and challenging Liv Morgan. Watching from the crowd, Morgan refused to enter the ring. Instead, she openly expressed her affection for Mysterio, mocking Ripley’s appearance. As Ripley went to attack her, Dirty Dom intervened to stop her.

In a moment of anger, Dominik Mysterio denied any feelings for Morgan, leaving her heartbroken. Rhea Ripley, clearly happy with Mysterio finally expressing himself, then displayed a show of dominance by publicly licking Dominik’s face. This highly provocative non-PG moment has drawn a reaction from Ripley’s husband, AEW star Buddy Matthews.
