" why're you nodding?" Rhea knows Dom's reaction even before she turns to see him lol
This journalist really did his homework on Rhea and Dom that impressed even us hardcore fans of these 2. From Rhea's beginnings right down to knowing Dominik's schedules the last week and number of matches. I love in these interviews where wrestlers go in and out of character where they speak as the character as well as the real people. And like everyone here is saying, Rhea and Dom have a natural chemistry that's obvious. They damn near break the internet everytime there's a Rhea and Dom moment. Rhea said in an interview like this not too long ago that they haven't even scratched the surface of their storyline. Rhea and Dom is really on its way to being one of the best duos in WWE history.

What? The guy acted as if Rhea was the FIRST female to actually wrestle and get wrestling time...he literally said Trish Stratus was just a deva while conveniently leaving out the names of the likes of Rousey and Jax, who fought their asses off in the ring just in the last 10 years. There was zero need to act as if Rhea is breaking new ground for women. You dont need to trash everyone that came before her to prop up what she is doing. She is at the top and earned it and that stands on its own.

@g1820"Our generation"...Rousey is part of it...Rousey joined wrestling only 3 years before Ripley and was still there when Ripley joined thus making her part of it and doing it before her. And again, he said she was the FIRST. It was wrong, stop making excuses, it is not a slight on Ripley, its on the journalist.
How am I supposed to boo these two after watching this. Super likable with amazing chemistry. You can clearly see these people really like each other and that’s why it works on tv.

Just because their significant other is superior to (in this case) their friend, doesn’t mean that’ll stop them from cheating. Male or female it doesn’t matter, damn near everyone has a dirty little secret. With Rhea and Dominik always on the road together.. and how well their personalities compliment each other, and can’t forget about Rhea kissing Dom on the cheek, stuff like that, people grow feelings and just might do something stupid only that they’ll both know.

The chemistry between these two is UNDENIABLE 🔥🔥🔥 Rhea face lights up and can't stop smiling any time Dom speaks or looks at her! She might be engaged to another guy but she definitely loves Dom!
Uggghh Rhea's beauty and vibrance just comes out so much without much make up or none at all. Beautiful human inside and out. 😍😊

its so heart warming seeing just how gentle and soft spoken Dom actually is but he keeps in character in a playful way, but he can't help but sound humble for the position he has landed in
"Can the kid even read?" 🤣 Dom's roast about whoever that was was ridiculous and hilarious.
What a couple of excellent examples of WWE talent. Both Rhea & Dom did an outstanding job. They didn't yell, didn't have attitudes, Dom handled the Harley Reid question in a subtle heel manner but maintained a very appropriate professional demeanor. They proved to be outstanding representatives of an industry that some try to put down. To Dom's parents, you should be very proud of the son you raised. To Rhea, I hope Australia turns out in record numbers to cheer you to tears!
This interviewer was rly great. Great questions for both and super respectful, letting them talk too
With & without makeup Rhea is so damn fine😍
Man Dom and Rhea seem to legitimately enjoy each other, like 2 best friends who want and can do everything together 😢 I want that
Good interview props to interviewer..love hearing rhea and more heart to heart stuff
Dominik was sitting there like "Who's Buddy Murphy?" 😅 3:02
Rhea has been one of my favorites for a few years now. Her NXT and NXT UK look made her stand out. Her in-ring ability and personality makes her a star. Dom grew up with this industry in his blood. Him still committing to the bit here and there is great. He has grown a lot in the last year and a half as a performer and a character.

I know Rhea is in a relationship, but the look of love she gives to Dom while he tells his story is the one of a proud big sister or mom. The love she has for him is not fake. ----- Rhea and seeing that Royal Rumble spot brought me back to wrestling after being away for almost 20 years.

She's really giddy around him. It's kinda flirty so I wouldn't say mom or sister. They're just close friends as they both say, but I definitely notice how much more smiley and beaming she is around Dom as opposed to Damian and Finn, who I'd say she definitely has more of a brother/sister vibe towards.

I really like this guy... you can tell he knows his stuff, it's very refreshing to see an interview where everyone already knows what wrestling is, and you can get into the finer details of what goes on in and out of the ring. Awesome questions, fantastic interview! 👍👍
I know she loves buddy because of how he helped her earlier and etc but the chemistry that she has with dom is like unmatched i dont know if its soul mates pretending to be co workers or co workers pretending to be soul mates but whatever it is its crazy to see in real time at this point as a wife in lets just say one month she probably spends majority of that time with dom or traveling with him or working with him and probably goes home once or twice

Great interview. Good to see an Aussie Journo actually knowing his wrestling in an interview. Great work.
Credit to the interviewer. He knows his shit! Great interview
This is the first time I'm going to say this, hell, let alone think this.... how can you watch this and not like, admire and respect Dominik? Never thought I'd admit something like that. From his debut, I thought it was a lost cause, like Vince persuaded a kid that he'd be great and at this than he really was, just because the history was there and storylines could be utilized to make money. He came out wearing the chest protector, which I was critical of. If you're going to make even the money that the unknown house show rookie is going to make, you better be willing to take a chop the same as all the other talent. It could have all been part of the gimmick and I just became a mark, but they hardly ever put that pc in the narrative. I just thought the kid didn't like taking bumps, didn't like pain, yet he was being pushed through because of who he was, well beyond his limits and abilities. But my mind has been changed through the recent matches he's had (still needs a lot of work) but he's got the humbleness and humility that it takes to have a good long career.

I love his storyline and i cant wait for when people finally openly love him. He has done sm for the audience! If you go back and check he has been through soso much from fellow stars as they beat him up when he comes to the aid of the other JD members. He has put his body through so much already for the show and he is also charismatic and has a great storyline. It's time for people to appreciate him more

What a brilliant interview and so well researched by the interviewer. Absolutely loved the question in regards to the taxing on the body. So many mates of mine laugh that I love it but then say to me “ you know it’s staged right?” I tell them that it only takes a split second timing issue and these wrestlers could get seriously injured. Half the falls they take and the hits they get we would not handle in regular joe world. All credit to them because in some matches they go through hell with what they put their body through. 👍
Rhea: I'm 17.... Company: Okay we will be back later. Jeff Hardy: lol, we were like 16 when we got in mwahaha!
Why the f they have so much chemistry ?
You clearly did your homework sir, such a professionally prepared interview! And yes I will sub to get some of these eagles videos :P
I get they both have partners but if you’ve had a crush or really genuinely liked someone.. the way rhea admires dom & they look at each other is unmatched. If you say otherwise then that just shows you’re not good with signals😂 wouldn’t be surprised if down the road they hook up or already have. They look like they truly admire each others company

When she loves something she hones in on it...well she isn't honing in with Buddy, but Dom.....oh boy, she certainly is there lol. (I know, I know people will bring up they both have partners, we all know this. HOWEVER, in all honestly, both their relationships will fail and they will end up together, they have been around each other so much and gelled as people who have formed a real close bond and i'm sorry to say, but they are closer together then they are with their partners...)
