Rhea Ripley is the hottest wrestler in WWE right now. From her segments on SmackDown to her Instagram posts, Ripley is getting the undivided attention of the public. People can’t stop talking about her muscles, matches, and especially her charisma. But this time, her opponent for WrestleMania 39, Charlotte Flair, got everyone’s attention by calling out her own real-life husband in a segment on SmackDown.
Her husband, Andrade El Idolo, a former WWE star, is currently contracted to AEW. He is in AEW with Ripley’s real-life boyfriend, Buddy Matthews, who is also a former WWE star. Both the former champions in WWE are from different factions in AEW and they already have some on-screen beef with each other. After Flair’s comments, these two just continued their feud on Twitter as well.

On last Friday’s SmackDown, Flair came to the ring and said, “I have a REAL Latino man at home that calls me Mami.” The Queen meant this in reference to Dominik Mysterio’s constant clinging to Ripley as his Mami. This generated the real-life boyfriend of Ripley, Buddy, to tweet, “Mami has a Real Papi also!”
This apparently got Andrade furious as the former NXT Champion tweeted a single middle finger emoji in reaction to Buddy’s tweet. Will we see this back-and-forth translate into a match at AEW Rampage or Dynamite? However, one thing we know for sure is that getting personal will only make Charlotte and Ripley’s feud more heated and exciting.

Certainly, this has got the fans talking about it constantly. So, not only are Ripley and Charlotte benefitting from this reaction, but Buddy and Andrade are also getting eyes on their company as well. It’s a win-win-win situation, especially for all the wrestling fans who love a good story build-up for a high-stakes match.
