5 WWE wrestlers who died at a young age

1. Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio, son of veteran WWE superstar Rey Mysterio, is the most recent wrestler Rhea Ripley has been linked to. On Monday Night RAW, The Judgment Day, Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik engaged in a lengthy feud last year. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley and her comrades urged Dominik to join their squad.

The 25-year-old first resisted joining The Judgment Day, but eventually turned on his father and Edge during Clash at the Castle. Since that time, Ripley appears to be in charge of Dominik. She went so far as to say that she had transformed Dominik into a man.

Because of their on-screen romance, there have been suspicions that Ripley and Dominik are dating.



 

2. Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley teamed up earlier in 2022 to compete in the Women's Tag Team Championships. The two women also appeared to be quite close to one another, to the point that some fans thought they were actually dating.



 

3. Damian Priest

Rhea Ripley has been friends with Damian Priest for a while. However, because of their tight affinity, there have been suspicions that their relationship may go beyond friendship. After Ripley said she was seeing Buddy Matthews (also known as Buddy Murphy), a follower tweeted that he believed Ripley was seeing Priest.



 

4. Demetri Jackson

Rhea Ripley began dating independent wrestler Demetri Jackson in 2019 after they met at a gym. Jackson, a professional wrestler who has a Master's in Sports and Exercise Science, had only recently turned pro. The Nightmare, meanwhile, was a WWE Superstar.

In a 2020 interview with Chasing Glory, Ripley said that she was attempting to support her inexperienced lover. He didn't want much of her assistance, though.



 

5. Buddy Matthews

As the couple called off their engagement at the beginning of 2018, Buddy Matthews' romance with Alexa Bliss came to an end. Matthews began dating Bliss' coworker Rhea Ripley earlier this year.

Following several weeks of rumors, Ripley officially announced her connection with Matthews by sharing a photo of herself hugging the former WWE RAW Tag Team Champion online and adding a heart emoji to the text.
