Rhea Ripley comments on the possibility of AEW star returning to WWE

Although Buddy Matthews (formerly Buddy Murphy from his time in WWE) is one-third of the current AEW World Trios Champions with Malakai Black and Brody King, there are still some fans holding out hope he will make a return to WWE.

Last fall, there had been speculation about Matthews taking a hiatus from AEW, with him rumored to make a return to WWE as, at the time, there had been rumblings of alleged talent tampering from WWE, something AEW President Tony Khan has spoken about.

Matthews is currently dating WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. While speaking with Gery Roif, Ripley was asked about the possibility of Matthews returning to WWE:

“Ohh maybe. I don’t know. So, I’m very convincing. I’m a very convincing girl. I normally get what I want,” Ripley stated. “So, it might happen, you never know, but right now I’m happy with my DomDom. I’m happy going out there with him and Finn [Balor] and Damian [Priest] and I mean, you never know what the future holds. It might happen.”

Ripley was also asked what other faction she would join after finding success in the Judgment Day.

“You know, Rhea Ripley only wants the best, and that is why I am part of the Judgment Day,” Ripley stated. “So if we weren’t a thing. If we weren’t a faction all together I would probably be trying to get into The Bloodline. Maybe it would work. Maybe it wouldn’t. I don’t know.”
