Rhea Ripley gives update on her relationship with Dominik Mysterio; addresses where his loyalty lies ahead of WWE SummerSlam
Rhea Ripley will challenge Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship tonight at WWE SummerSlam. While many expect Dominik Mysterio to play a decisive role in the anticipated clash, The Eradicator recently addressed where her Judgment Day teammate's loyalty lies.
Dirty Dom has been Ripley's on-screen boyfriend for nearly two years. Nevertheless, Morgan attempted to steal him from Mami while the latter was away recovering from an injury she suffered at the hands of the Women's World Champion. Although Dominik publicly rejected Morgan on RAW and sided with Ripley, many still wonder if he would turn on his on-screen girlfriend at SummerSlam and help the former Riott Squad member retain her title.
Speaking to WrestlingNewsCo ahead of tonight's premium live event, Ripley claimed her DomDom had no relationship with Morgan. Meanwhile, she stated that she feels confident with the former NXT North American Champion:
"I don't know, I feel very confident with Dom. Like I said, he finally had a go at her. He finally showed that man side that I know was there because we turned him or I turned him into a man once we turned on his deadbeat dad. I knew that that was there and I just needed to see it. And that gave me all the confidence that he's still my man and we're still together. We're still R+D and we're still strong," she said. [3:06 - 3:30]
Rhea Ripley also commented on Liv Morgan kissing Dominik on WWE RAW
After Dominik Mysterio unintentionally helped her beat Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage Match on WWE RAW to retain her Women's World Championship, Liv Morgan surprisingly kissed the Judgment Day member. While she seemed to enjoy it, the former NXT North American Champion did not look as happy.
In her interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Rhea Ripley commented on Morgan kissing her on-screen boyfriend. She claimed her DomDom was disgusted by the kiss:
"She kissed my man, and he, it's the most disgusted that I've ever seen a man after kissing someone. [Everyone is talking about that face.] Exactly," she said.
Despite Dominik Mysterio telling Morgan that he hated her and she ruined his life, wrestling veteran Tommy Dreamer believes the 27-year-old was not entirely truthful. It would be interesting to see if Dirty Dom will indeed be on Mami's side tonight at WWE SummerSlam.
