Okay, so the other day I found myself wondering about Damian Priest. You know, the wrestler. Big guy, part of that Judgment Day group. My mind just went, “Who’s he dating?” It happens, right? You see these folks on TV every week.
So, I did what anyone does. I grabbed my phone, opened up a browser, and just typed it in. Something simple like “damien priest girlfriend” or “who is damian priest dating”.
First thing you notice is a lot of talk about him and Rhea Ripley. And yeah, you see them together all the time on WWE programming. They’ve got that whole faction dynamic going on. Super close, clearly. But the more I looked, the more it seemed like, nah, they’re just really good friends. Like, best buds outside of the ring too. That happens a lot in wrestling, people become like family on the road.
Then I started seeing another name pop up more consistently: Mandi Elaine. Saw some mentions linking them, stuff on social media like TikTok clips came up in the search results. It wasn’t like huge official announcements everywhere, more like stuff fans had pieced together or shared.
- Started with general searches.
- Noticed the Rhea Ripley connection often mentioned.
- Filtered through that, realizing it’s likely platonic friendship.
- Found the name Mandi Elaine mentioned repeatedly.
- Saw references to social media posts connecting them.
Digging a bit deeper
It wasn’t like finding out about a movie star where it’s all over the gossip magazines. Wrestlers, sometimes their private lives are kept a bit more, well, private, unless they make it part of a storyline. I saw some photos here and there that seemed to confirm they were a couple. It looked pretty legit, just not something they blast from the rooftops maybe.
While searching, other random wrestling stuff popped up too. Like how Kayden Carter and her tag partner got moved to SmackDown. Funny how you start looking for one thing and get bits of other news. It’s all connected in that wrestling bubble.
So, after poking around for a bit, going through different fan sites and social media mentions, the general consensus points towards Mandi Elaine. It seems she’s the one. Rhea is the work-wife, the road buddy, part of the TV family. It makes sense when you see their interactions.
That was my little investigation. Started out of simple curiosity and ended up confirming what seems to be the story. Always interesting to see what you find when you start digging online.
