Cathy Kelley has been a prominent name among WWE’s backstage correspondents ever since her return to the company in October 2022. Even though she’s been a beloved figure throughout her career, the major reason for the recent surge in her popularity was her real-life relationship with Rhea Ripley.
However, with The Eradicator’s increasing closeness with Samantha Irvin, the two stars have seemingly split. But a recent interview has again made the duo a topic of discussion, as Cathy hinted that she’s probably doing all she can to mend her relationship with Rhea.
This incident took place on the most recent episode of WWE Fox’s Out of Character podcast, as Kelley appeared on the show as a guest. During the conversation, the host, Ryan Satin, didn’t hesitate to ask Cathy about her relations with the reigning Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley.

As the podcast host asked Cathy, “Where do things stand between the two of you right now?” The female WWE star claimed that she already knew that he’d ask this question. Answering about her current relations with The Eradicator, Kelley said, “We’re working on it privately. So yeah, that’s all I’ll say.”
Looking at the way she remained silent on their relationship and claimed that they’re working on it, it seems that the backstage correspondent is interested in a patch-up with Rhea. However, all such speculations can only come to a conclusion if either of them opens up about the situation between them.
Rhea Ripley and Cathy Kelley were recently spotted together
Amid all the uncertainty about their relationship after their breakup, one thing that raises the possibility of a patch-up is a backstage video. Rhea Ripley and Cathy Kelley were recently spotted together in a backstage video, which was probably a private talk between the two superstars.
In a backstage video involving Mia Yim, The Mami can be seen involved in a conversation with Cathy, as they were spotted standing in the background. The video was the first time they were seen together after their breakup, and looking at the way they were totally into the talk, it didn’t look like they had any problems.

With Rhea being involved in an on-screen romance angle with Dominik Mysterio, is their break-up just a part of the storyline? Looking at the way Cathy talked about her relations with The Eradicator, it looks like they’re definitely on odd terms. If that’s the reality, will Kelley be able to keep the relationship together? Only time knows what the future holds for them.
