The complex dynamic between Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan has its roots in early 2023 when Ripley won the women’s Royal Rumble match by last eliminating Morgan. This victory propelled Ripley to a dominant 380-day reign as Women’s World Champion, during which she aligned herself with Dominik Mysterio as part of The Judgment Day faction.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn on April 8, 2024, when Liv Morgan launched a backstage attack on Ripley, resulting in a legitimate injury to Ripley’s right arm. This forced Ripley to vacate her championship.
During Ripley’s absence, Liv Morgan began making overtures towards Dominik Mysterio, attempting to lure him away from his loyalty to the injured Ripley. Morgan’s true intentions remained unclear – was she genuinely interested in Dominik, or was this a calculated move to disrupt The Judgment Day? The tension continued to build as Morgan’s interactions with Dominik became more frequent and intimate.
Her interference in one of Dominik’s matches backfired, costing him a victory and adding another layer of complexity to their relationship. As weeks passed, speculation mounted about how Dominik would navigate his loyalty to Ripley and his growing connection with Morgan. Fans eagerly anticipated Ripley’s inevitable return, wondering how she would react to this apparent betrayal.
With Ripley now back in the picture, the true test of loyalties and intentions begins.
