After months of dating, Rhea and Matthews got engaged as the Women’s World Champion said ‘Yes’ to the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Rhea posted a picture with a ring on her finger. Reacting to the picture, Alexa Bliss wrote on Instagram: “Congrats!”
Why did Alexa Bliss break up with Buddy Matthews?
Bliss and Matthews were one of the top WWE couples during the late 2010s. They even worked together on NXT and planned to get married one day. However, due to their hectic WWE schedule, they could not see each other so much. During an interview, Bliss spilled the beans on her breakup and said:
“We were like ‘okay, so we’re going to set this date and then I ended up being moved to SmackDown, which was amazing. And so we’re like ‘All right, we’ll push it to this date’ and then with our traveling weeks to see each other seven days a week and work together six days a week, because I was partnered with Blake and Murphy, and now we see each other maybe six hours a week.”
