Rhea Ripley reveals all she ever wanted from Dominik Mysterio ahead of WWE SummerSlam
Rhea Ripley opened up about her storyline relationship with Dominik Mysterio and disclosed what she wanted from her stablemate ahead of WWE SummerSlam. The Judgment Day member will be squaring off against Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship at the premium live event tomorrow night.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet ahead of WWE SummerSlam, The Eradicator was asked about Dominik Mysterio. The 27-year-old revealed that all she ever wanted was for Dirty Dom to stand up for himself and he has become his own man by stepping out of Rey Mysterio's shadow.
"He's doing good. I feel like he's got this burst of confidence after finally standing up for himself, which I love. That's all I've ever wanted from Dom. I've wanted him to see his potential and to stand up for himself in situations that he doesn't want to be in. That's the whole reason why he turned on Rey. He was in his shadow. So he finally had enough and was like, 'Screw it. I want to be my own man.' So he became his own man," she said. [H/T - Fightful]

Rhea Ripley on thinking WWE wouldn't hire her because of her tattoos
RAW star Rhea Ripley disclosed that she didn't want to get tattoos early on because she thought WWE wouldn't hire her.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Chris Featherstone in an exclusive interview, the former champion stated she got hired during a time when not many female stars had tattoos, and she was nervous about getting them herself. However, she added that there were loopholes in place and noted that former WWE star Ruby Riott had a ton of tattoos when she was hired.
"I didn't wanna get tattoos because I was scared that it would prevent me from getting hired by WWE 'cause it was at a time when not many women had tattoos. It was really like, looked down upon. And then Ruby Riott got signed and she had all these tattoos and then, there were sort of loopholes in what they were saying where they were like, 'You can get tattoos, they just have to be hidden. We don't want to see them on TV.'" [0:55 onwards]
Liv Morgan has attempted to seduce Dominik Mysterio away from Rhea Ripley but her plan has backfired so far. It will be interesting to see which star walks out of WWE SummerSlam as the reigning Women's World Champion.
