Former WWE star admits he and Rhea Ripley struggle with body image issues
A former WWE Superstar shared that he and Rhea Ripley suffer with body image issues. The star in question is married to Rhea Ripley in real life.
AEW star Buddy Matthews, formerly known as Buddy Murphy in WWE, recently shared during an Instagram Live session that he and Ripley struggle with body image issues and noted that it was something everyone deals with.
The House of Black star added that although they are professional athletes, they often don't see themselves in the best light.
"I know the people watching this go through these things, whether they feel fat, small, skinny, strong, not strong. There are so many ways to feel on a day. Just because your heroes or you see people on TV, or you might look at Rhea or myself and go, ‘Hey, your physique is awesome. If I look half as good as you, I would be happy.’ We say that too, but we don’t see it," he said. [H/T: Ringside News]
Rhea Ripley reveals why she turned her back on WWE RAW star Liv Morgan in the past
WWE RAW star Rhea Ripley recently shared why she betrayed Liv Morgan in the past while the two were in a tag team together in WWE.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone in an exclusive interview earlier this year, The Eradicator opened up on betraying Liv Morgan back in the day. She noted that she lost trust in the 30-year-old and opted to stab her in the back before Morgan did the same to her.
"So I trusted her, until I started feeling like something bad was going to happen. I have been backstabbed by multiple partners prior to this, and I mean she has too. So we were both broken in the same ways and it was only about time that one of us were turning on the other. With us arguing, and us not getting along, and us losing our matches and her draining that killer side of me, and making me into this mushy little tag partner that she wanted, I felt like I was getting sculpted for a betrayal. So I thought I had to do it before she did," said Ripley. [4:18 onwards]
