Rhea Ripley and her fiance Buddy Mathews have recently been spotted in UFC 299, featuring the ongoing WWE-UFC kinship post the TKO takeover. While their shock appearance marked the UFC endurance of the Stamford-based promotion, the same doesn’t apply to the rival promotion AEW for obvious reasons. The company higher-ups still live to the same rigidity while referencing the incident on Raw tonight. And Pat McAfee spotted it out with a hilarious two-word question.

Pat McAfee spotted a loophole in WWE’s Rhea Ripley (UFC 299) reference

Mami’s real-life boyfriend was a full-time WWE act before signing up for Tony Khan’s business last year. In his brief AEW tenure, he certainly expanded his wings as a wrestler but it seems his previous employer is still not ready to namedrop him on TV. In between the Red Brand show tonight, WWE ran a video and announced Rhea Ripley’s attendance at the recent TKO event while Pat McAfee shouted out ‘With Who?’? 

Michael Cole became oddly silent after the pinpoint.

Moving ahead, is there any chance for The Disciple to be back to his old wrestling home? Let’s delve into the prospects.

While there’s still no word on Buddy Mathew’s WWE transition, it will definitely make some sense if it happens at any time.

Why Buddy Mathews’ potential WWE run will be a wise call? Explained

Although Buddy Mathew’s AEW run gave him space to grow as a performer, in terms of a single championship, he is still empty-handed. So, it might prompt him to feel a creative backlog and try his luck once again at the Stamford-based company. During his 8 year tenure in the WWE, he only made it to the Cruiserweight Championship reign once. So, this time the company might tip him to a higher spot than before.

Also, he had an infamous beef with Dominik Mysterio. So if he comes back, he can reignite that old heat against DomDom, keeping his beau, Rhea Ripley, in the middle ground. In a more dramatic layer, it might culminate in Mami ditching her JD boys to join the force with his fiance.

It will certainly be a promising storyline to stretch upon.

Last but not least, Mathews can be a great asset to the expanding developmental brand and it will be wise of WWE to plant him in the NXT and allow him to be seasoned before a main roster transition.
