Two years ago, speculation started that WWE’s Rhea Ripley and AEW’s Buddy Matthews were dating after he became a regular guest on her Twitch channel, and soon afterward, this would be confirmed.

And now showing the loved-up couple have found the right person, they have shared a joint Instagram post featuring a photo of them kissing captioned “Til death. 23.06.24,” indicating they tied the knot on Sunday. 27-year-old Ripley was previously in a relationship with indie wrestler Demetri Jackson, who has been an enhancement talent for AEW and WWE. Meanwhile, 35-year-old Matthews was once engaged to Alexa Bliss after they met when both were working for WWE. Yet, while fans were disappointed when these relationships failed to last, things seemed to work out in the end, especially with Bliss having gone on to start a family with Ryan Cabrera.

The Hurt Business To Reunite In AEW?

Back in 2021, Buddy Matthews was released by WWE, with him subsequently working for New Japan and MLW. However, as he remained a free agent, this allowed him to join AEW in 2022 and be put alongside Malakai Black and Brody King in the House of Black. And while there has been plenty of speculation over the past few years regarding him wanting to depart Tony Khan’s promotion to return to a post-Vince McMahon WWE, it has now been reported by Ibou of WrestlePurists that the Australian has re-signed with AEW. 35-year-old Matthews broke into the wrestling business in 2007, and after six years on the Australian indie scene, he signed with WWE and was assigned to NXT. From there he formed a successful tag team with Wesley Blake on the developmental brand, although his most memorable run in the company came on the main roster when he became a disciple of Seth Rollins during his Monday Night Messiah run.

Following several vignettes, during the July 20 episode of Collision, AEW would debut a new wrestler named Hologram in a match against Gringo Loco. Subsequently, this has led to much speculation on social media regarding who is under the mask, with some fans even suggesting it could be Ricochet. However, the former WWE star has now taken to X to confirm that it isn’t him, noting that Hologram is shorter than him and doesn’t have the same tattoos. Hologram’s real name isn’t public knowledge, although it is known that he is a 14-year veteran who previously wrestled under the name Aramis. And while it isn’t fully understood why AEW has decided to repackage him rather than use the gimmick he established in promotions like AAA, GCW, and MLW, it is believed that Tony Khan personally came up with the new character. Therefore, the high-flying luchador will almost certainly be given every opportunity to become a star, given Khan’s creative association.
