Former WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley made her return to WWE on the latest edition of Raw. Ripley had been out of action since April. Her last match took place at WrestleMania 40, where she defeated Becky Lynch to retain her title.
Liv Morgan, a past target of Ripley, got revenge with a brutal backstage attack on the following Raw. This attack forced Ripley to relinquish her title due to a shoulder injury. While Ripley recovered, Morgan thrived, rising through the ranks, and now she is the current WWE Women’s World Champion.
Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to become the WWE Women’s World Champion at the King and Queen of the Ring premium live event. Following her victory, Morgan has been a constant source of trouble for Dominik Mysterio, raising questions about his loyalty to Rhea Ripley.
In the latest edition of WWE Raw, a mixed tag-team match featured Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio facing off against Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega. After Morgan and Mysterio secured the victory, a brief, tense moment ensued between them before Rhea Ripley’s surprise return. Ripley made her way down to the ring, causing Morgan to quickly retreat through the crowd.
With Rhea Ripley’s return and the promise of a potential championship clash, Morgan now faces consequences for her past actions. Adding fuel to the fire, Ripley’s rival, Zelina Vega, has sent out an unexpected message to her following her return.
