Rhea Ripley is confident about convincing Buddy Matthews for a WWE return
The former Buddy Murphy earned laurels for his solid work ethic during an impressive seven-year stint with WWE. The 34-year-old secured the NXT Tag Team title, Cruiserweight title, and RAW Tag Team Championship on one occasion each.
After parting ways with the global wrestling juggernaut, the Australian star jumped ship to AEW in February 2022. Having been associated with House of Black from the get-go, Matthews currently holds the AEW Trios Championship.
In an interview, Rhea Ripley reflected on the chances of witnessing Matthews in WWE again.
"So, I'm very convincing. I'm a very convincing girl, you know. I normally get what I want. So, it might happen, you never know. But right now I'm happy with my DomDom. I'm happy going out there with him and Finn and Damian and I mean, you never know what the future holds. It might happen," said Ripley.
