Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley appeared to click from the start of their on-screen time together last summer, when Dominik was his father’s largely silent babyface partner. The Judgement Day duo have developed into the WWE act that we despise the most, and that has only gotten worse over time. And based on what Rhea has to say, that is only normal. The WWE Women’s World Champion admitted to barely knowing Mysterio before they began working together on USA Today’s Under The Ring podcast.

‘We barely talked before’

“We barely talked before this whole Judgment Day thing. Like we said, ‘Hi, how are you’, and that was about it. But watching our chemistry just sort of blossom and grow week by week and we’re getting more comfortable with each other, which is fantastic. It’s been really fun, and also getting to watch him grow as a performer and blossom and get more confident week in and week out has been very rewarding as well.” Expressed Ripley.

The chemistry between the two

“I feel like since we’re both like around the same age — I’m 26, he’s 25 — I feel like our minds are very similar and we just want to go out there and be chaotic and be menacers and just have fun, so that’s pretty much what we’re doing. We’re just going out there and we’re having fun and reacting off of each other and growing our bond. I think people are seeing that in a way, and it makes it easy for them to follow and it makes it easy for them to understand what’s going on. I think it’s been fun for people to see how much we’ve grown together, but we’re having the time of our lives.” Revealed Ripley.

Dom’s heat with the crowd

“Being out there while he gets booed is quite deafening. It’s really cool to hear. I can’t even hear what he’s saying when he’s talking next to me on a microphone. That’s how the crowd can be and I’ve never heard someone get such a reaction so quickly like Dom does. The only time I’ve heard a loud reaction like that is obviously at like WrestleMania or a PLE.

“It’s very rare that I hear the crowd get that loud for someone, especially so quickly, like he doesn’t even have to say anything. It makes me very proud knowing how much he’s grown. I get emotional every now and then just because he’s come so far and it’s been real cool to be a part of it.” Exclaimed Ripley.
