‘I never thought that it would work’: Rhea Ripley on storyline with Dominik

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get along very well as members of The Judgment Day. But it was not the case when Dominik was on good terms with his father Rey Mysterio and the duo were rivals of The Judgement Day.

In a recent interaction with Michael Fairman, Ripley talked about how formal she and Dominik were to each other before they became team members. She highlighted that initially she didn’t think that the storyline involving her and Dominik would work.

“Once I found out that Dom was on the same page as me, it just clicked. [It worked so well, right?] Yeah, I never thought that it would work, and I don’t think Dom thought it would work either, especially because we barely really talked beforehand. It was just like a ‘hi’ ‘bye.’ Yeah, I mean we just said ‘hello’ and ‘how are you?’ And that’s about it. But like being a part of the women’s division, I’m so far away from the men’s division. But now, I’m a part of The Judgment Day, so I’m more in it with them. So, I get to make all these new friends,” said Ripley.

“But like watch these bonds sort of just grow and it’s funny because like Dom and I we’re the same age pretty much. I’m one year older than him and that’s it. So, like we’re very very similar and we’re on the same sort of path so it’s just been clicking and we’re having a lot of fun,” she added.

Notably, Ripley will defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship title against Zelina Vega at 2023 Backlash. In the main event, The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes will engage in a head-to-head fight against The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar.
