Rhea Ripley Explains Dominik Mysterio’s ‘Daddy Issues’

– During a recent interview with The Wrestling Classic, WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley explained Dominik Mysterio’s ongoing daddy issues, stemming from Dominik wanting to step out of the shadow of his WWE Hall of Famer father, Rey Mysterio. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Rhea Ripley on Dominik Mysterio’s daddy issues: “You can tell a man has daddy issues when he gets so excited about being called ‘daddy.’ He’s just got family issues, let’s be honest. Because now he’s saying that I made him call me ‘mami,’ and he never liked calling me ‘mami.’ Like, you got problems, my dude, because you came up with that by yourself.”

On Dominik needing to get out of his father’s shadow: “Dom had to get out of Rey’s shadow. Rey was picking Edge over his own son … I do think that Rey was in the wrong. But at the same time, I think that Dom has hurt me in a bigger way than Rey ever hurt me. So he’s more in my good books than Dom is right now.”

Damian Priest defeated Dominik Mysterio in a singles match last Monday on WWE Raw. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley gets an opportunity to regain the WWE Women’s World Championship at WWE Bad Blood next month. She will challenge reigning champion Liv Morgan for the title in a rematch from WWE SummerSlam. The premium live event is scheduled for Saturday, October 5 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The premium live event will be broadcast live on Peacock.
