Both stars are known for the iconic and formidable heel personas at their respective promotions. But often they have proved to have a soft spot for each other.

Buddy Matthews misses Mami

The only bane of being a pro wrestler is continuous touring. The stars are often on the road, going to different live shows and performing there. Due to this, they find very little time for themselves and their loved ones. This was once addressed by Dominik Mysterio when he was talking about his real-life beau. With Buddy Matthews and Ripley in different promotions, they don’t get much time to be together. Hence, the AEW star once shared his excitement on Instagram after he got to see Ripley after a long time.

He shared a photo in his Instagram story and expressed his excitement with the caption. To this, Rhea Ripley also shared the same and expressed she was as happy and excited as he was.
