A few days ago, Dominik Mysterio’s merry reign as the North American Champion came to a shocking end against Trick Williams at NXT No Mercy. Rhea Ripley was understandably shocked and upset over Mysterio’s loss and issued him an ultimatum on RAW this week if he fails to win back his title.
At NXT No Mercy this past week, Trick Williams defeated ‘Dirty Dom’ to capture the NXT North American Championship. Rhea Ripley, who had originally assisted Dominik in winning the championship, was noticeably absent from the event. Mysterio was set to fight Mustafa Ali at the event, but plans were changed upon Ali being unexpectedly released by WWE during the post-merger layoffs.
Rhea Ripley sends stern warning to Dominik Mysterio
On Monday Night RAW this week, Ripley called out the Judgement Day to address their situation. The Nightmare has been absent from WWE TV for the past two weeks due to an injury suffered at the hands of Nia Jax. In her absence, she had trusted Damian Priest to lead the group and keep them together. However, things have obviously not gone their way, with Dominik Mysterio losing his title to Trick Williams making matters worse.
Rhea Ripley confronted Damian Priest and accused him of not leading their group well in her absence. However, The Archer of Infamy argued back that he had done his job and still had his title as well as his MITB briefcase, whereas Dominik was the one who lost his championship.

A still-furious Ripley turned her attention to ‘Dirty Dom’, and reminded him of his loss. She said that he still has the chance to prove that he is not a waste when he faced Trick Williams in a rematch this week. Ripley further added that if he fails to bring back the North American Championship, he is out of the group.
What is the story between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio?
At Clash at the Castle 2022, the wrestling world saw the beginning of a relationship that would soon capture the attention of the entire industry. After Dominik Mysterio shockingly betrayed his father Rey Mysterio, he would join forces with The Judgement Day and soon began an on-screen relationship with Rhea Ripley.
The two superstars soon gained an enormous amount of popularity as a couple, through several flirtatious segments, affectionate social media posts and a magnetic energy while on-screen. It was enough to convince several people that the two were romantically involved in real life as well.
But not long after that, Ripley told the world that she was dating AEW superstar Buddy Matthews and they have recently got engaged. Many of their fans are speculating that this will cause friction between her and Dominik Mysterio and might even change how they act on-screen.
