Rhea Ripley reunites with her "ex" ahead of blockbuster WWE SummerSlam return
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley recently took to social media to share a post with a popular RAW name ahead of her in-ring return at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event. The name in question is backstage correspondent Cathy Kelley.
After defeating Becky Lynch and retaining the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania XL, Ripley had to vacate her gold after suffering an injury at the hands of Liv Morgan. Morgan then went on a mission to take everything away from The Eradicator, including her World Title. However, Mami recently returned to WWE television, and on an episode of RAW, she challenged Liv for the gold at SummerSlam.
Rhea Ripley and Cathy Kelley are always seen flirting with each other on social media. The duo have also been in a hilarious online relationship in the past. Kelley recently also expressed her desire to replace Dominik Mysterio as Mami's love interest in The Judgment Day.
Ripley recently took to her Instagram stories to upload a video of her workout session with Cathy Kelley, sending the latter a one-word message.
"Hey @cathykelley," she wrote.

Dutch Mantell believes Rhea Ripley is a heel going into WWE SummerSlam
During an edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell mentioned how Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio double-teamed on Liv Morgan during last week's edition of Monday Night RAW.
Mantell also said that he believed Ripley was a heel and Morgan was a big babyface going into their Women's World Championship match at SummerSlam.
"Let me take you back to RAW when Rhea and Dirty Dom double-teamed on little Liv and she started crying, I think that’s the double switch right there. These two big guys are teaming up and very rarely you see the heel go babyface and the babyface goes heel but they got the perfect opportunity and it will work. I think little Liv, all the little kids love her to death. All the guys love her, she’s the number one type of babyface for a female star."
