"We scrap a little bit" - WWE's Rhea Ripley on physical relationship with AEW star
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry today. Despite being a major star in the sports entertainment juggernaut, she's not afraid to speak about WWE's competition, especially since her real-life partner, Buddy Matthews, works for AEW.
The two have often shared pictures and videos of their life together for fans. Ripley has also spoken about how her success in WWE affects her boyfriend and vice versa.
The WWE Women's World Champion had plenty to say about Buddy Matthews in her interview with Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast. When discussing her physicality – both in the ring and in real life – Ripley revealed that she was nicknamed the 'Nutcracker' in high school.
She also spoke about getting physical with her boyfriend, revealing that they tussle at home and adding that she usually comes out on top:
"Being in the relationship that I am with my partner, we scrap a little bit. I normally start it and I finish it." [h/t SEScoops]
