Rhea Ripley talks about Buddy Matthews

The pro wrestling business is highly unpredictable. It has its ups and downs. Rhea Ripley recently talked about how Buddy Matthews understands her perfectly.

While speaking with Allenownz Wrasslin, the Eradicator explained how the former AEW World Trios Champion was supportive of her and how he was exactly the sort of partner she needed, being in the business of professional wrestling.

"Umm, it's needed. It's very much needed. Umm, this is such a wild, strange, weird business, and a lot of people don't understand it. So to be able to find a spouse that, like, actually understands everything that you're going through and isn't gonna judge you or get mad at you for you not being able to respond on a work day. Like that stuff, that is, like, so crucial to me and beneficial because, like, I don't have to explain myself," she said.

It will be interesting to see when Buddy Matthews returns to the Jacksonville-based promotion. Many fans have been wondering if the couple will ever wrestle as a team. Only time will tell.
