During the electrifying atmosphere at the AEW Collision, fans’ playful banter took center stage for a fleeting moment. A quick-witted fan, evidently well-aware of the wrestling world’s inside stories, was caught by the camera proudly displaying a sign that humorously referred to Rhea Ripley’s personal life and Dominik Mysterio’s on-screen antics.
The sign, cleverly constructed, read “HEY BUDDY AIN’T IT FUNNY HOW DOMMY STOLE UR MOMY“. The ingenious banner was a playful jab at the real-life relationship between Ripley and Buddy Matthews and the on-screen narrative involving Mysterio.
Always one to appreciate a good joke, Ripley took to Twitter with a surprising reaction, demonstrating her excellent sense of humor and sportsmanship. Instead of taking offence, she commented, “I’m not even mad, that’s hilarious,” charming her fans even further with her laid-back and upbeat attitude.
In a twist of events, Buddy Matthews also decided to pay a heartening tribute to Rhea Ripley. Demonstrating his respect and admiration for Ripley’s signature move, the Prism Trap, Matthews emerged victorious in a recent match using the same maneuver. Excitedly, he took to Twitter, echoing the sentiments of his victory and his gratitude, tweeting, “it worked! 😘”.
The camaraderie demonstrated between Matthews and Ripley, coupled with their playful interaction with fans, continues to show why they remain fan favorites, always ready to embrace humor and fun even in the face of intense competition.
