Rhea Ripley comments on being brought up by Max Caster during one of his raps prior to The Acclaimed wrestling The House of Black at AEW Double or Nothing 2023.
At AEW Double or Nothing 2023, The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens & "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) challenged The House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, & Brody King) for the AEW World Trios Championship. During Caster's pre-match rap, he mocked Matthews by saying he was being "cucked by a kid named Dominik."
In real life, Matthews is engaged to WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. However, on WWE television Ripley is paired with Dominik Mysterio.
During an interview with Marc Raimondi, Ripley commented on the reference saying that she believes Caster did his job poorly if he was taking his time on the microphone to get an act in a rival promotion even more over as opposed to himself.
"No, I wasn't expecting it. That's why I tweeted about it," she said. "I was like, 'Yo, Dom we're over in two companies.' I don't think [Buddy Matthews] was expecting it either, because he didn't even react to it. He wasn't really listening too much, but watching it back and getting tagged in things afterward, that's where he was like, 'Oh, I didn't realize that's what he said.'
"I mean, it's good for me. It's good for Dom. At the end of the day, it got us trending on Twitter," added Ripley. "It got us trending and if that's what you want to do in your match, get two other people in the opposite promotion that you're battling with trending, then I feel like you did the wrong job because you put us over instead of yourself. So that was a mistake on their part. Yes, you can take a shot at my fiance if you want but at the end of the day, Mami's on top and that's exactly what happened."
