Rhea Ripley possibly paid tribute to her husband Buddy Matthews at WWE SummerSlam this past Saturday night. The star has been a crucial part of House of Black for a long time now. He has been with AEW since 2022 and recently re-signed with the company. He and Rhea got married in June this year.
Meanwhile, Liv and Rhea finally squared off at The Biggest Party of the Summer. A few months ago, the Women's World Champion had vowed to snatch everything Mami had. Since then, the former injured her, then captured the title she held and to put the final nail in the coffin, Morgan lured Dominik Mysterio on her side at SummerSlam.
In the closing moments of the contest, Dominik distracted The Eradicator and led Liv Morgan to victory. The duo confirmed their alliance when they shared a kiss right in front of Rhea. During their bout, Rhea Ripley seemingly dislocated her shoulder, which was later revealed to be a work. She even tried to put it back in place by hitting it on the turnbuckle and commentary desk throughout the bout.

This could possibly have been a tribute to her husband Buddy Matthews as he had put back his dislocated shoulder during a recent contest.
Take a look at the clip below:
The House of Black member shared the clip as his Instagram Story.
Buddy Matthews wanted to help Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam
At WWE SummerSlam, Dominik Mysterio betrayed Mami to join forces with Liv Morgan. After the match, a shocked Rhea cried in the ring after the series of shocking events that took place.
After the contest, Buddy posted on social media and asked AEW President Tony Khan if he could go to help Rhea Ripley. Fans of both AEW and WWE felt Dominik's decision to backstab Mami was reprehensible and deserved due punishment at the earliest.
"TK, can I help Mami real quick?" he wrote.
It remains to be seen why Dominik turned on his ally and Judgment Day stablemate Rhea at the premium live event on Saturday.
