Rhea Ripley having another romance with major WWE star is possible, says ex-champion, and it's not Jey Uso
Rhea Ripley is no longer in an on-screen romantic relationship with Dominik Mysterio after the latter betrayed her at WWE SummerSlam. A former 24/7 Champion thinks Mami should now have another romance with a top superstar.
The superstar in question is Damian Priest. The Eradicator and the former World Heavyweight Champion have a close friendship in real life. While still part of The Judgment Day, they were betrayed by the faction at SummerSlam. After Dirty Dom helped Liv Morgan retain her Women's World Championship against Ripley, Finn Balor cost Priest his World Heavyweight Title against Gunther. The Terror Twins would now seemingly feud with the new Judgment Day.
Although Jey Uso and Ripley teased a romantic relationship ahead of SummerSlam, former 24/7 Champion Peter Rosenberg suggested that The Eradicator and Priest eventually become a couple on screen. He claimed on his Cheap Heat podcast that the company could acknowledge their close friendship in their current storyline before turning it into a romance:
"I hope at some point we get a Priest/Rhea romantic relationship as well. I think that would be majour. [Those are very tall people in a relationship.] They go together perfectly, and you run it like a friendship, they just have each other's back, they're really just close friends, who are against the new Judgment Day. But then at some point in like two months, it becomes like Ross and Rachel and you're like what's going on here?"
The WWE personality claimed Priest and Ripley's potential romance would be "bigger" than The Eradicator's former relationship with Dirty Dom:
"And then if they were to then have that moment, whatever you thought was big between I think Dominik and Rhea, I think would feel even bigger at the time between Priest and Rhea. And then you could have a really awesome mixed-tag match. There's like a lot of fun things you could do there," he said. [12:03 - 12:41]
WWE star Finn Balor previously addressed Rhea Ripley's real-life relationship with Damian Priest
The Eradicator and The Archer of Infamy are almost inseparable. The two spent much time together even before becoming part of The Judgment Day on the WWE main roster.
In an interview with After The Bell last year, their now-former Judgment Day teammate Finn Balor opened up about the real-life relationship between Priest and Ripley. He stated that the former World Heavyweight Champion considers The Eradicator his little sister:
"I feel like I'm the uncle of the group in a way. Damian's like my brother, Dominik's like my little nephew that I'm taking care of, and Rhea is like Damian's little sister, or little cousin that he's looking out for all the time," he said.
With Ripley and Priest fighting together against the new Judgment Day, it would be interesting to see if their friendship and alliance would turn into a romance on WWE television.
