Monday’s edition of WWE Raw saw a tense backstage confrontation between Rhea Ripley and Rey Mysterio‘s daughter, Aalyah.
Wrestling fans who are “in the know” recognized a unique connection between these two women.
Aalyah formerly portrayed the on-screen love interest of Buddy Matthews (Buddy Murphy), who is Ripley’s current real-life girlfriend.
The House of Black member became aware of this on-screen interaction and addressed it on social media.
Matthews joked that Aalyah and Rhea can “fight for his custody” in a ladder match, a nod to the infamous Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero match from SummerSlam 2005.
Based on the reaction .GIF posted by Rhea Ripley, she seems ready to fight for her man.
