WWE superstar Rhea Ripley has stolen the hearts of her fans once again, this time with her hilarious reaction to her fiancé Buddy Matthews’ thoughtful gesture. The Nightmare, currently out of action due to an injury, took to Instagram to share her delightful response to Matthews’ surprise.
In her latest Instagram story, Ripley’s fans got a glimpse of her partner, AEW star Buddy Matthews, setting up a life-size cardboard cutout of her in her wrestling attire. The Eradicator, known for her intense in-ring presence, couldn’t help but crack a smile as she posed with the cutout, looking unimpressed. The lighthearted moment has left fans delighted, and it’s not hard to see why.
The Australian wrestler, engaged to Matthews, has been keeping her fans updated on her personal life through her Instagram stories. Despite being sidelined due to an injury sustained during an attack by Liv Morgan on an episode of RAW, Ripley’s spirits remain high. Her ability to find joy in the little things, like her partner’s thoughtful surprise, is a testament to her positive attitude.
Ripley’s absence from the ring has been felt, especially after being forced to vacate her Women’s World Championship. Her frustration was evident when she almost got into a brawl with Liv Morgan before security intervened. Becky Lynch went on to win the title belt in a battle royal on RAW, but fans are eagerly waiting for Ripley’s return to the ring.
In the meantime, Ripley has been supporting her partner, who was let go by WWE in 2021 but has since found success in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). During an appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Logan Paul, Ripley opened up about Matthews competing in Tony Khan’s promotion. The couple’s love and support for each other are evident, and their adorable moments are a treat for fans.
As one of the top female stars in WWE, Rhea Ripley continues to win hearts with her authenticity and charm. Her reaction to Matthews’ thoughtful surprise is a reminder that even the toughest superstars have a soft spot. The Nightmare may be out of action, but her presence is still felt, and her fans can’t wait to see her back in the ring, dominating the competition.
