Before joining AEW in 2022, Buddy Matthews used to work in WWE until he was released back in 2021. While he is thriving in AEW, Matthews has now addressed whether he would ever return to WWE.
While speaking toChris Van Vliet, Buddy Matthews was asked if he wants to return to WWE. He stated that he would love to work with his wife Rhea Ripley someday. He thinks their connection and story would make for great TV, and its something hes really interested in trying.
Matthews talked about how their relationship works even though theyre in different companies, shes in WWE and hes in AEW. He said he never wants to feel jealous of her success. He knows shes a huge star, like the John Cena of the womens division, and even if hes in a smaller role he doesnt want that to affect how he sees her. He doesnt want anything to come between them or feel like its a competition.
Matthews also said its important that they can talk to each other about their jobs. If she has a bad day, he wants her to be able to talk to him without him always trying to fix it. And the same goes for him since they support each other, share the good and bad, and stay on the same team.
In the end, he said he definitely wants to work with Ripley one day. Matthews added that theres probably no one in wrestling, no matter where theyre from or what company theyre in, who wouldnt want to work with Rhea Ripley.
Its not known if Buddy Matthews will return to WWE, but its clear he admires Rhea Ripley and would love to work with her. Fans would definitely be interested in seeing the real-life couple on screen together in WWE someday, so well have to wait and see if it happens.
