"It makes people mad" – WWE personality comments on Rhea Ripley's relationship with 25-year-old star
WWE announcer Corey Graves shared his thoughts on Rhea Ripley's relationship with Dominik Mysterio.
Rhea Ripley played an instrumental role in recruiting Dominik Mysterio into The Judgment Day. The duo has shared an extremely close on-screen relationship ever since. The pair even invaded Rey Mysterio's home on multiple occasions, with the last attempt at Christmas, which got the 25-year-old getting arrested.
Speaking on the After the Bell podcast, Corey Graves highlighted that Rhea Ripley's association with Dominik helps the latter in getting over as a heel. The WWE announcer added that he has experienced a similar situation due to his relationship with Carmella.
"Let's be honest, WWE Universe, a lot of them have a crush on Rhea. She's a very attractive person to too many different people. So the fact that she comes out flaunting her relationship, whatever the details may be, with Dominik Mysterio, there are so many guys around the globe that are going, 'God, you kidding me? She's with him?' I've experienced it to a much lesser extent because of who my wife is. People see me and go, 'What's in Corey Graves? He's an announcer.' It makes people mad. It's just an inherent thing, and I love it."
Corey also noted that Dominik Mysterio has played the jail storyline particularly well:
"Dominik has played it and exploited it perfectly. I loved the evolution. I love how it was overnight. There was no slow burn to him circling the bowl and then going down the drain. It was, 'I spent a few hours in lockup. Now I am a legitimate thug.' I love it. It is so much fun to me." [3:34 - 4:33]
