Rhea Ripley Wants Judgment Day Star Pushed To The Top Of WWE

Rhea Ripley with The Judgment Day WWE

Rhea Ripley has high praise for a fellow Judgment Day member.

Since betraying his father, Rey Mysterio, and joining The Judgment Day, Dominik Mysterio has become one of the most hated men in WWE. Everywhere he goes, Dirty Dom gets booed out of the building, showing how he’s grown as a heel over the last two years. According to Rhea Ripley, behind the scenes, Dominik is putting in the work to reach the top of the company.

During an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Ripley laid out just how far Dominik has come.

“I want to see it. He’s been working so hard for so long. People don’t understand how much he actually does for the company. He’s on every single show pretty much all the time. He’s always traveling, always grinding. Always having matches. He’s the person in the company that gets the most heat. Every time he goes out there, he can’t speak at all. He can cut a promo, which is so impressive because, one, it’s terrifying. Two, he never gets the chance to practice because people boo him out of the building.

Ripley believes that Mysterio’s recent bout with Gunther has led to people seeing the star in a different light.

“He had that match with Gunther, he didn’t win, but it was a fantastic match. He was resilient the whole time, he overcame so much. That made people look at him and focus on him in a different way, a different light, where he can play with the top guys in the company.”
