The world of professional wrestling is known for its drama and catty comments, and the latest exchange between WWE’s Cathy Kelley and AEW’s Buddy Matthews has got everyone talking. The drama unfolded on Instagram when Matthews shared a romantic photo with none other than Rhea Ripley, Kelley’s real-life best friend and close confidante.
The photo, which showed Matthews lying on Ripley’s back, garnered a lot of attention and reactions from fans and wrestling personalities alike. However, it was Kelley’s response that stole the show. The WWE personality jokingly wrote “Blocked” in the comments section, implying that she’s not too thrilled about the romantic display.
Kelley and Ripley’s friendship is no secret, with the two often joking about being each other’s love interests on social media. Their close bond is well-documented, and Kelley has spoken highly of Ripley in interviews. In a recent podcast appearance on Chris Van Vliet’s show, Kelley gushed about working with Ripley and praised her as one of the most successful stars in WWE today.
Ripley, who has achieved unparalleled success in the WWE at just 27 years old, has won championships on RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK, and even took home the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match. However, her recent injury on RAW following WrestleMania XL has taken her out of action, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her return.
The question on everyone’s mind is: will Matthews respond to Kelley’s cheeky comment? It’s unclear what sparked Kelley’s reaction, but it’s clear that she’s not too thrilled about Matthews and Ripley’s romantic display. Only time will tell if this exchange sparks a bigger feud between the WWE and AEW camps.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the world of professional wrestling is always full of surprises, and this latest exchange between Kelley and Matthews has got everyone talking.
