Rhea Ripley's "ex" says she's waiting for a "reunion" with her
A backstage WWE personality recently mentioned that she was eagerly waiting to reunite with Rhea Ripley weeks after the latter's return to RAW. The person in question is Cathy Kelley, who shares a close friendship with Mami in real life.
The Judgment Day member is currently involved in a storyline involving her stablemate, Dominik Mysterio, and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. Though Dominik grew close to Morgan during Ripley's three-month absence due to a shoulder injury, he reaffirmed his loyalty to The Eradicator on this week's RAW.
Rhea Ripley is now gearing up to challenge Liv Morgan for the gold at SummerSlam 2024 which she was forced to relinquish due to her injury. While her closeness with her Judgment Day stablemates is for everyone to see, Ripley has also forged strong relationships behind the scenes, one of them with Cathy Kelley.
The RAW broadcaster recently took to Twitter to respond to a fan who mentioned that she was disappointed to not see Kelley and Rhea Ripley reunite on TV. Cathy Kelley, who once hilariously referred to herself as Ripley's "ex," was quick to respond to this, writing that she, too, was waiting for it to materialize.
"girl. i’m waiting too," tweeted Kelley.
Teddy Long believes Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan could feud beyond SummerSlam 2024
On a recent edition of Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, Teddy Long discussed how WWE might have plans to extend Ripley and Morgan's feud much beyond SummerSlam 2024. Long explained that if the company wanted Liv Morgan to have a longer reign with the Women's World Title, they could stretch her feud with Rhea Ripley for a few more months.
"Why take it right there? Lot of mileage there, you know. Lot you can get out of there, you know. I agree with Bill [Apter], I don't think she's gonna drop it [the Women's World Title] either but that goes on down the line. You keep that program running, and as long as the people are behind it and it's drawing money and selling tickets, why mess it up?" Long said.
Though Dominik Mysterio may have sided with his Mami for now, there's always a looming fear of Liv Morgan possibly luring him to his side again, which could result in him betraying Ripley at SummerSlam 2024.
