Former RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley has seemingly confirmed her relationship with Buddy Murphy.
The Eradicator is presently out of in-ring action due to an alleged brain injury. She was slated to face Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship at Money in the Bank. However, the bout was changed because she's not currently cleared to compete.
Since May this year, rumors of Ripley dating former WWE Superstar Murphy have been afloat. The duo was seen training together at the gym a few months ago. Murphy was signed to WWE from 2013 until the company released him in 2021.
The Judgment Day member recently took to her social media handles and shared an image of herself along with Buddy Murphy. She also included a black heart emoji in the caption of the post.

Murphy is currently signed to AEW, where he is part of the mysterious House of Black stable, which also features fellow former WWE star Malakai Black (fka Aleister Black).
