Rey Mysterio’s personal life often finds its way into the WWE Universe. His son Dominik Mysterio has found a new stable for himself and is in constant rivalry with his family. This storyline has brought the entire Mysterio family into the limelight. Rey Mysterio’s daughter – Aalyah Gutierrez received much attention from the WWE Universe and made her popular among the fans.
Aalyah Gutierrez is quite active on her social media and keeps her over 300k followers updated on her life’s happenings. She is also quite expressive of her love affair and current boyfriend – Joshua Thomas. The two have been together for over three years now and a lot of fans highly ship the couple.
Who did Aalyah Gutierrez date in WWE?
Aalyah Gutierrez never had a real-life boyfriend who hailed from WWE. Prior to dating Joshua Thomas, Aalyah was rumored to be dating soccer player AJ Hernandez. She has also been put in an on-screen relationship angle with Buddy Matthews, the current boyfriend of The Judgment Day star – Rhea Ripley. However, this angle could only continue on the screen, that too for a very short time.
During the execution of this storyline, Buddy Matthews confessed to being extremely uncomfortable. However, his work ethic and his duty towards the company compelled him to a kissing scene with Rey Mysterio’s daughter. “I wasn’t comfortable kissing Aalyah. I did that because it was my job and it was going to create more drama in the story,” said Matthews.
How did Aalyah Gutierrez’s on-screen boyfriend react to their relationship angle?
Post the storyline that WWE created for Aalyah and Buddy, the audience started targeting him for all the drama. “Originally, there was no kiss scripted…I was very blunt with them, I can’t pursue her, if I do, I’m a creep. I’m a ‘pedo’ as people say on the internet. If she goes for me, she’s an empowered woman that knows what she wants…I’m uncomfortable, and she’s new,” he revealed.
Buddy had been quite open to having Aalyah Gutierrez take control of the situation. He gave her the privilege to decide what is to be done and supported her in whatever she made up her mind. The duo continued their love angle for quite some time before it was suddenly dropped by the management.
Buddy Matthews was soon dropped by WWE and he signed with AEW. He is now in a real-life relationship with Rhea Ripley, a tough rival from Aalyah’s father – Rey Mysterio. Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio are often considered to have a love angle on the screen.
