Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley have been involved in a romantic angle for quite some time now, and it has helped them attain massive popularity. Their romance storyline is immensely popular in the WWE universe, and both Rhea and Dominik are often seen praising and backing each other in public.
One such incident happened recently, as Dominik Mysterio, backed his “Mami,” Rhea Ripley, over trash-talking Liv Morgan on the July 24 episode of RAW. Supporting Rhea Ripley for her actions on the recent RAW episode, Dominik said, “MAMI DOES WHATEVER TF SHE WANTS.” (Via: WrestlingWorldCC)
Fans also took note of Dominik’s response to Rhea’s trash-talking on WWE RAW and reacted to it on social platforms. Check out some of the top fan responses here:
A user wrote, “Dominik Mysterio Has No Reservations About Letting Rhea Ripley Run Wild.” “Yeah that may be for now but I believe that’s coming to an end!” a fan said. “She is not the Iron Sheik of a female heel,” another fan wrote. (Via: Twitter)
It must be noted that Liv Morgan was scheduled to fight Ripley in a Non-title match on RAW, but as Liv was making her entrance, Rhea blindsided her and sent her into the ring post. She continued assaulting Morgan and took her and used a steel chair to sandwich Liv’s hand and started trash-talking by shouting, “You’re going to pay for getting in my business!“

Ripley then stomped on the chair to give her more pain, after which a trainer and referee came out to save Morgan. However, after walking away once, Rhea returned again and did it again. She then walked off laughing but continued her trash talk as the crowd booed her loudly.
Rhea Ripley believed that her storyline with Dominik wouldn’t work
Dominik Mysterio and Ripley’s romantic angle has done wonders for them both. However, their bonding was not always this strong, as they shared a very formal connection in their initial days together. This was revealed by Rhea herself during an interaction with Michael Fairman at WrestleMania 39 press event.
During the interview at the WrestleMania 39 press event, Rhea talked about how formal she and Dominik initially were before they became teammates. The Eradicator also disclosed that she initially believed that her storyline with Dominik would not work.
Rhea said, “Once I found out that Dom was on the same page as me, it just clicked. 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.“
“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.
Looking at the chemistry Ripley and Dominik have now, it seems impossible to believe that they were just formal at one time. It’s just amazing to see how their bond has grown over the last few months. Rhea and Dominik are now the biggest attraction on RAW, and the WWE universe loves their on-screen chemistry.
