“And our little family growing by one” - AEW’s Buddy Matthews' grateful post for 2024 featuring Rhea Ripley

AEW star Buddy Matthews shared photos with WWE's Rhea Ripley in a reminiscing post on social media. The couple have been married since June 2024.

The Eradicator has been feuding with Liv Morgan for months, and the rivalry will seemingly end on Netflix's first edition of RAW in a Last Woman Standing match. Meanwhile, Buddy Matthews hasn't wrestled since the Full Gear pay-per-view. He defeated Dante Martin, Komander, and Beast Mortos during the Zero Hour.

Both stars had an eventful 2024. Rhea Ripley headlined the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in her home country, Australia. Matthews recently took to Instagram and claimed that he enjoyed his 2024 as he got married and bought a house. He shared pictures in the post with his wife, family, and friends.

"2024 was 365 days of memories, from marrying my best friend, to wrestling highs & lows, universal/Vegas trips, Family/Friends visiting, buying another house & our little family growing by 1 - can easily say Best Year thus far!! Onto 2025…" he wrote.

Vince Russo believes Rhea Ripley will lose on the next RAW

Fans are hyped to see Liv Morgan collide with Rhea on the first RAW on Netflix in a uniquely stipulated contest. While many are confident that Ripley will finally capture the Women's World Championship, Vince Russo believes otherwise.

While speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the veteran explained that Liv Morgan should retain the title as she needs it more than Rhea.

"I think you know, Rhea Ripley is super over with the people. She don't need the belt, you know. Liv does. Liv, that belt and that title really helps Liv. Rhea Ripley will remain over whether or not she wins the title. She doesn't need the title. They just need to protect her in this match. But I think, I mean, they should keep the title on Liv," he said.

It remains to be seen if the Eradicator wins the Women's World Championship on RAW next week.
