Romance is in the air this morning, as WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley and AEW star Buddy Matthews are beginning their honeymoon. The reigning Women\'s World Champion will miss tonight\'s WWE Raw as a result.
Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews\' romance began when they met in WWE in 2021, while Matthews was performing for WWE under the name Buddy Murphy. The couple went public with their relationship in 2022, and Matthews proposed to Ripley during a vacation in Cocoa Beach, Florida in August 2023.
They tied the knot in a lavish all-black-themed wedding ceremony on June 23, 2024, where Ripley wore a stunning black strapless dress and Matthews complemented her in an all-black suit.
Despite working for rival companies - Ripley in WWE and Matthews in AEW - the couple maintains a strong and supportive relationship. Ripley has emphasized that Matthews understands and supports her career trajectory, noting that he\'s comfortable with her prominent position in the wrestling industry. After their wedding last year, their busy schedules prevented them from taking a honeymoon, but they are finally able to enjoy this special time together following AEW\'s Grand Slam event in their home country of Australia.
