10 Current Wrestlers Already BETTER Than Your Favourites

2. Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio (Chyna & Eddie Guerrero)

Most fans recall Eddie Guerrero's romance with Chyna from 2000 fondly. It was the first time Eddie clicked in the then-WWF, and it gave his "Mamacita" something else memorable to do following her aborted push from late-1999. The pair were a neat fit for one another, but it didn't last too long.

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio are blatantly going for the same vibes, albeit with a twist. Romantic links are implied without broad strokes playing out on TV. Instead, Rhea dotes over her "Dom Dom", and Mysterio refers to Ripley as "Mami". It's incredibly well-done characterisation that leaves some major things open to interpretation.

The Judgment Day duo are already a more viable pairing long-term than Chyna and Guerrero were 23 years ago. WWE has room to manoeuvre with their partnership, and they're actually getting by on very little compared to the more obvious affection of their predecessors.

That was fairly one-note after a while. Dom and Rhea is anything but.
