Potential Rhea Ripley vs. Dominik Mysterio building momentum behind the scenes?

According to a new WWE rumor, an intergender match between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio is getting closer to reality.

While Smackdown has the Bloodline saga, Monday Night Raw has a different but equally entertaining ongoing storyline with Judgment Day. The faction formed by WWE Hall-of-Famer Edge has gone through changes over the years. However, a highlight for the group was when Dominik Mysterio played the role of boy toy for former women’s world champion Rhea Ripley.

But that dynamic changed dramatically in August when Mysterio betrayed Ripley and joined her hated rival, Liv Morgan. Now the son of WWE legend Rey Mysterio has been attacked by “The Eradicator” in recent months.

This has led to speculation in the internet wrestling community that the company is moving forward with a possible intergender bout between the two. Well, a new rumor suggests things are heading in that direction.

The match between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio is likely to take place

In a new live Q&A session with Bill Apter and Wrestle Votes, it was revealed that there is a growing desire from some members of the WWE creative team to set up a rumored match between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.

The action has apparently been hinting at this for some time. However, as a publicly traded company, it can be a sensitive issue when a man confronts a woman. However, if it ever happens, Riply and Mysterio would be the perfect couple for such a scenario. Based on their characters and size.

It bears similarities to one of the company’s most memorable intergender matches. In this case, WWE legend Chris Jericho defeated Chyna for the Intercontinental Title at WWE Armageddon 1999. Jericho was also a weak heel. While Chyna was a strong wrestler who could hold her own with certain male wrestlers on the roster.
