Buddy Matthews would like to be involved in a storyline with Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
The House of Black member has a connection to the former partners. He is married in real life to Ripley, having tied the knot with the Australian earlier this year. However, he also enjoyed an on-screen relationship with Aalyah Mysterio. She is the daughter of Rey Mysterio, and their relationship angered her brother Dominik during the Autumn of 2020.
During a virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest (H/T to Post Wrestling for the transcription), Buddy Matthews spoke about the potential of an angle involving himself, Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
The AEW star said that he and Ripley have spoken about it, with the connection between Buddy and Aalyah Mysterio helping tie the story together.
“Oh, 100 percent (there’s potential for an angle with myself, Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio)… And we’ve fantasy-booked and I’ve thrown ideas at her. She’s like, ‘That would be so cool.’ Obviously, don’t wanna let it out because if it ever eventually did ever happen, it’s something cool to kind of play off but, it’s definitely ways to do it which would be very smart and catch people. But, I had Dom’s first or second match in WWE. I was there with Seth (Rollins) when he hit him with a Singapore cane 100 times. I ‘dated’ his sister. You know what I mean? I was a part of the Mysterio family.”
Buddy Matthews: You Never Know What’s Going To Happen
Buddy Matthews continued, noting that the storyline is there if they can open the “Forbidden Door” between WWE and AEW. However, he added that you never know what could happen, especially with all the changes in the business after the last few years.
“Long-term storytelling is there if we wanted to go back and do it. The footage is there so, whether it is a relationship-form or insert — there’s ways of doing it. Then again, where we are with wrestling today, you can break that fourth wall in a way. They do in Deadpool & Wolverine… Maybe there’s a forbidden door that’s unknown and may open up eventually. Who knows?”
“But, all we can do is play cards that we have in front of us down so, you know, you never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow that could be good, bad. Anything can happen in any given day whether it’s in the ring, in business, it could be at home, could be on the way to the airport. You just don’t know, so, anything could change.”
