Buddy Matthews sends a message after Rhea Ripley 'adopts' a son and becomes his Mami
Rhea Ripley has had quite an eventful WrestleMania weekend so far, including her becoming a new Mami after signing an adoption paper. The WWE Superstar's real-life husband, Buddy Matthews, reacted to the interesting turn of events with a short message on social media.
Rhea Ripley will be in action at WrestleMania 41, where she will face Bianca Belair and IYO SKY in a Triple Threat match for the Women's World Championship. The WWE Superstars have been in Las Vegas for the last couple of days for the Showcase of Immortals, with various events lined up for them.
At one such fan event, a fan asked Ripley to sign his adoption papers and become his Mami. The former Women's World Champion obliged the fan's request, and even gave her new "son" a hug. Buddy Matthews played along on the joke as he reacted to the clip of his wife 'adopting' a son.
He replied with a short message on X (formerly known as Twitter). The AEW star noted that now they have someone who will look after them when they are old:
"He’s old enough that if he breaks the law it falls on him and not us! - now we have a son to look after us when we are old."
