Despite not participating in a title defence match at Fastlane 2023, Rhea Ripley did show up. Along with Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, they tried to aid Finn Balor and Damian Priest. This was during the first match of the night for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles. However, due to a cursed MITB briefcase, things didn’t go as planned. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso ended up winning the match.
So, what did Ripley do after that for the entire night? She decided to reunite with an ex-lover. This is someone with whom she had a falling out before moving on to Dominik.
Cathy Kelly reunites with Rhea Ripley at Fastlane 2023
The love story between Cathy and Kelly is something avid fans know about. Prior to being with Dominik Mysterio, the WWE Women’s Champion was with Kelly for a short time. The two did not work well, and they chose to date other people. However, at Fastlane 2023, they two reunited backstage. Could this be hinting at things to come?
The flirtation started in Febuary with posts, comments, and captions by Kelly hinting at something happening between Ripley and her. However, the posts took a different turn as Kelly started posting videos on TikTok involving Samantha Irvin. This hinted at the relationship being on the rocks. Now, all of this, including her relationship with Dominik, is kayfabe as Ripley is engaged to Buddy Matthews.
However, a backstage video at Fastlane 2023 showed the two reuniting. Despite how things ended, the two were all smiles. They even hugged each other, proving there was no bad blood between them. As mentioned earlier, the majority of this was on social media via posts, and nothing was explicitly said.
Taking to social media, Kelly commented on a video compilation of the two reuniting along with other clips. She commented, “The world is healing.” This could hint at the two finally setting their differences aside and patching up. With Nia Jax on the prowl for destruction, it is possible she could face Nia Jax in a clash of titans.
The future plans for Ripley and Nia Jax
After Jax returned to RAW and laid waste to the women’s division, they all wanted payback. With Zoey Stark being the first and failing horribly against Jax, fans suspected a team-up was on the horizon. This would be with Raquel Rodriguez, as the two want some vengeance.
Despite dropping hints on The Bump, nothing is planned for sure. This episode of RAW saw Ripley get her hands on Jax along with Rodriguez and Shayna Baszler. Even though all these women want to put Jax down, they each want to be the only one to do so.
