17-year veteran to be revealed as Rhea Ripley's new love interest after teasing it?- 3 superstars the Eradicator could date after Dominik Mysterio
SummerSlam marked the conclusion of Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio's relationship. After months of hints of Liv Morgan making her move on Mysterio and a lot of back and forth that left everyone guessing about Mysterio's true feelings, the tension finally peaked on August 3.
On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Judgment Day officially cut ties with Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest. This has led to a lot of chatter about what’s next for The Eradicator. It also provided a perfect time for Ripley to think about her next moves.
Should WWE consider introducing another romantic storyline involving Ripley and other performers, here are three names that could be her new love interest:
#3. 17-year veteran Jey Uso could be Rhea Ripley's new love interest
Jey Uso appears to be the top contender for a potential partnership with Rhea Ripley soon. His previous interactions suggest that he may support the Eradicator, and he has also hinted at romantic feelings for her.
It all started during a match between Dominik Mysterio and Jey Uso on WWE RAW. When things got tough, Dom Dom bailed on the fight, but Rhea told him to get back in there. Jey saw his chance and took it, nailing Dominik with a spear and finishing him off with a Uso splash to grab the win.
Following the conclusion of the match, an intriguing event occurred; Jey appeared to make a gesture indicating for Rhea to contact him. In response, Rhea glanced back and smiled.
The creative team could now develop a romantic narrative involving Jey and Rhea, signaling the conclusion of her on-screen partnership with Mysterio. In a backstage interview, Main Event Jey also suggested that Rhea was worthy of a more suitable partner than Dominik Mysterio and encouraged her to reach out to him.
#2. A romantic angle with Drew McIntyre
It's not super likely, but who knows what the future holds? Back in 2023, Rhea Ripley teamed up with Drew McIntyre as they geared up for Survivor Series 2023.
The Scottish Warrior is one of the top wrestlers in the game, having snagged world championship titles multiple times over his career. He’s also taken home the Royal Rumble win and has headlined WrestleMania. It would be super interesting to see a romantic storyline between the former Women’s World Champion and the former WWE Champion.
#1. Damian Priest might pretend to date Ripley just to get under Dominik's skin
The Stamford-based promotion could consider pairing The Archer of Infamy with the former Women's World Champion as an on-screen couple, potentially provoking jealousy in Dominik Mysterio.
Fans often speculate about the relationship between these two WWE Superstars based on their social media posts and appearances on WWE RAW. While they share a strong friendship, there's never been any romantic connection between them.
Things might shift now that they're going to be in a rivalry with Dirty Dom and Liv Morgan. Plus, Ripley mentioned in an interview that she’s always found it easy to vibe with Priest because they have a lot in common.
