Rhea Ripley's boyfriend and AEW star Buddy Matthews has been on a roll lately
Someone who also knows a lot about gold is Rhea Ripley's real-life partner and current AEW star, Buddy Matthews. He has had a very eventful 2023 so far. Matthews became one-third of the World Trios Champions with the House of Black at the Revolution pay-per-view on March 5, 2023. Besides that, he has competed in numerous title bouts.
Matthews has challenged for both the AEW International and TNT Championships since the turn of the new year. He faced Darby Allin for the TNT Championship on the January 25 edition of Dynamite and Orange Cassidy for the International Championship on April 12.
Orange Cassidy vs Buddy Matthews was such a well wrestled TV match.
Going into the match, the story was that Buddy severely injured Orange's hand. They played it so amazingly throughout the match before the babyface champion outsmarted the heel. https://t.co/IBEmogYqsa
Matthews came up short on both occasions but is still a World Trios Champion with Brody King and Malakai Black. They have already made two successful defenses. Meanwhile, Ripley has been making waves in WWE as part of The Judgment Day.
