Dominik Mysterio Involvement In Liv Morgan’s King & Queen of the Ring Title Win Intensifies Popular WWE Theory

Liv Morgan is now the new WWE Women’s World Champion, but her victory over Becky Lynch came in a controversial manner.

WWE’s King & Queen of the Ring event took place in Jeddah, where it was 92 degrees outside the Jeddah SuperDome and in the mid-70s inside the arena. Despite the cooler temperatures inside, Morgan’s revenge tour was on fire.

Rhea Ripley was WWE Women’s World Champion, but she was put out of action by a backstage attack from Liv Morgan after WrestleMania XL. After that, Morgan’s Revenge Tour intensified, as she went after the now-vacant title. The whole time, Dominik and Morgan have found a reason to cross paths, and these interactions have proven pivotal. 

The event began with the Women’s World Title match between Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan. The match had an unexpected ending when Dominik Mysterio got involved, assisting Morgan in securing the win and the title.

During the match, Becky and Liv went back and forth, with a couple of near-falls along the way. Then Dominik appeared at ringside, initially causing a distraction that did not immediately help Morgan win. However, a few moments later, Dominik slid a chair into the ring, which Morgan used to her advantage by hitting a DDT on it while the referee was distracted.

With the referee’s attention back on the match, Morgan executed her Oblivion finisher and secured the pinfall victory. Following the match, Morgan and Dominik celebrated with fireworks in Jeddah, marking her controversial win.

Liv and Dominik

For weeks, some eagle-eyed fans have noticed hints about a connection between Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. This development has sparked interest among the WWE Universe, especially since Rhea Ripley’s injury, leading to speculation about Morgan and Dominik’s alliance.

During an appearance on The Masked Man show, Dominik addressed the fan theory about him and Morgan. He used the “innocent until proven guilty” way to get out of the question.

“I think at the end of the day, everyone is innocent till proven guilty. And I’m just (…) I’m here protecting Mami. And I’m trying to make sure she’s good when she comes back and that everything is all set in order. She comes back straight to the top. Take her title back, no harm no foul.”

Although Dominik initially said that he was in Saudi to make sure Liv didn’t win the title, the opposite happened instead. Now the discussion among fans who were shipping Dominik and Morgan for a while has only intensified.

Dominik Mysterio On Liv Morgan Romance Rumors: ‘I’m Innocent Until Proven Guilty’

Dominik Mysterio is maintaining his innocence amid speculation that he and Liv Morgan may be getting ‘close’ now that Rhea Ripley isn’t around. 

In recent weeks, there have been clues on WWE TV that Morgan and Mysterio may be a lot chummier than it first seems. The pair were seen leaving the same room backstage during an episode of Raw. More recently, Liv was seen leaving a vehicle, and later on, Dominik’s Judgment Day ally Finn Balor exited the same car. Speculation of the pair has run rife on social media, especially after Morgan shared a photo of herself with Dominik’s signature bandana. 

Innocent Until Proven Guilty!

Given Mysterio’s (kayfabe) relationship with Rhea Ripley, many have been highly suspicious of how close he and Liv have seemingly been getting. When confronted about the rumors on the Ringer Wrestling Show, Mysterio took a legal approach to the accusations. 

“I think at the end of the day, everyone is innocent till proven guilty. And I’m just… I’m here protecting Mami. And I’m trying to make sure she’s good when she comes back and that everything is all set in order.”

Ripley and Mysterio have been spotted together in recent weeks. 

Rhea Ripley has been out of action since April after she suffered an injury at the hands of Morgan during a backstage attack. This injury led to Ripley vacating the WWE Women’s World Championship, a fact that Morgan (the last woman to pin Ripley) has relished in.

Could Morgan’s ‘revenge’ tour see her try and replace Rhea Ripley, not just as Mysterio’s partner but also as a member of The Judgment Day? Time will tell…

WWE Drops Another Clue Linking Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan

Something is going on between WWE Superstars Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. Wrestling fans have noticed a series of subtle hints linking the Judgment Day member and the former Women’s World Champion. With Rhea Ripley off TV due to injury, it seems there’s another woman stealing Dirty Dom’s attention as of late.

Ripley suffered an injury during a backstage attack by Morgan that forced her to relinquish the Women’s World Championship. Morgan, the last woman to have a pinfall victory over Ripley, has been relishing in the fact that she put the Australian out of action. 

During the April 29, episode of Monday Night Raw, Dominik was seen leaving a room backstage and Liv was seen leaving the same area moments later. This has led to speculation that something may be brewing between the two despite their on-screen differences as Mysterio is the on-screen ‘squeeze’ of Ripley.

Latest Clue: The Bandana

Now you see it, now you don’t 

The latest ‘blink you and you miss it’ clue was shown on this Monday’s 5/6 WWE Raw. Mysterio appeared in-ring with his signature purple bandana, but was not wearing it later in the show during a backstage segment with The Judgment Day and Carlito. 

Mysterio didn’t address his missing bandana on Raw, but we may have found it. Morgan posed for a photo backstage at Raw and if you look closely at her front left pocket, there’s a purple bandana poking out. 

Oh, there it is!

Could Liv Morgan’s efforts to ruin Rhea Ripley’s life lead to her stealing Dominik away from her? Or is there another reason why the two have been getting closer in recent weeks? All we know is that something appears to be brewing between the former SmackDown Women’s Champion and ‘Dirty Dom.’

Dominik isn’t the only goal in Morgan’s sights, however. The young Superstar will challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s World Championship (a title Ripley once held) at WWE King and Queen of the Ring.

What Is Going On Between Liv Morgan & ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio On 4/29 WWE Raw?

Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan may seem like they have nothing in common, but the pair may be closer than you’d think judging from a recent episode of Raw. 

In recent weeks, Morgan has been pleased with the fact that she injured Rhea Ripley which resulted in the Australian Superstar vacating the WWE Women’s World Championship. On last week’s Raw, Morgan was the runner-up in the battle royal for the vacated title that was won by Becky Lynch. 

Dominik Mysterio confronted Morgan before last week’s title match, and the two also interacted during this week’s Raw. In the middle of a backstage interview with Jey Uso, Morgan was spotted leaving a room. Mere seconds later, the former NXT North American Champion was seen leaving the same room. 

This rendezvous has had fans speculating that there could be something going on between the two, despite their on-screen differences. In a recent interview with The Border Patrol, Morgan claimed she was no friend of ‘Dirty Dom.’

“I don’t like the man. I definitely don’t like his woman. I just wanted him to know, ‘Yes, I did that, and I’m still here.’ The revenge tour doesn’t stop until I win the women’s championship.”

Could Morgan’s revenge tour see her try and snatch Ripley’s man away from her, adding insult to her literal injury? As The Judgment Day continues to show signs of imploding, fans will have to wait and see whether sparks begin to fly between the ex-con and the former SmackDown Women’s Champion on WWE TV. 

More on Liv Morgan

Here are some recent articles regarding Liv Morgan as the Superstar’s revenge tour continues on as part of WWE programming:

Rhea Ripley Relishing In “Forever Runner Up” Liv Morgan’s Setback On 4/22 WWE Raw

Rhea Ripley may no longer be the WWE Women’s World Champion, but ‘Mami’ is relishing in the fact that Liv Morgan doesn’t hold the gold either. 

The Australian Superstar vacated the gold last week after being injured during a backstage assault by Morgan. On this week’s Raw, Becky Lynch won the vacated gold, marking The Man’s ninth championship win in WWE. 

Lynch’s victory on Raw saw her last eliminate Morgan, who alongside The Man was considered a favorite ahead of the battle royal. Taking to Twitter, Ripley was delighted to see her former friend-turned-rival once again come up short. Ripley added that Lynch was an “interim champ,” suggesting that she plans to swiftly regain the gold once she is healed up. 

Ripley may have had plenty to say after this week’s Raw but the same can’t be said when it comes to Morgan herself. When a WWE camera operator attempted to catch Morgan after the match, Liv was livid as seen in the clip below. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/p:C6FsfaYs4E-

Did WWE Make the Wrong Call? 

While Lynch was a favorite going into the battle royal, many feel that Liv Morgan should have left Raw as the new Women’s World Champion. Morgan has been embroiled in a feud with Ripley for some time, and it was an attack by ‘Mami’ that forced Liv to miss months of action. On Twitter, WWE/TNA Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his belief that WWE made the wrong call. 

Whether it should have been Liv Morgan or not, Becky Lynch is now once again on top of WWE Raw’s women’s division. With this being her first singles title reign of a main roster title in two years, Lynch is hoping for a nice, long run, though is quickly finding herself a long list of challengers.

Becky Lynch Wins Vacant WWE Women’s World Title In Battle Royal During 4/22 RAW

Rhea Ripley’s sudden injury created a need for a new Women’s World Champion. The April 22 episode of RAW ended with a battle royal to help the company decide a new top female on Monday nights.

After a chaotic battle royal match, Becky Lynch pulled down the win to become WWE Women’s World Champion. The Man now holds the title that she failed to snag at WrestleMania 40.

The 4/22 episode of WWE RAW marked the first occasion in WWE history where a vacant women’s championship was claimed in a battle royal. Previously, the only woman to win a title in a battle royal was Gail Kim, who beat then-champion Jazz and five other women during her WWE RAW debut in 2003.

The next WWE draft is from April 26, 2024 (SmackDown) to April 29, 2024 (RAW). It’s anyone’s guess how the upcoming roster shake-up will mold the women’s division for the red brand.

The Battle Royal Match Finish

The battle royal included several notable spots. Natalya eliminated Chelsea Green, but she got back in without the referee seeing her. Then Becky Lynch was put through the announce table by Nia Jax, leaving her out of commission, but still in the match.

The final five women in the match included Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Liv Morgan Zoey Stark and Becky Lynch, who was KOed thanks to that table spot. Then Jax took Stark and Baszler out of the match.

As Nia Jax and Liv Morgan set themselves up to be the last two in the match, Becky Lynch crawled back into the ring. The three of them continued as Liv and Becky tried to take out Nia. Then The Irresistible Force was finally sent to the floor after a collaborative effort.

Becky and Liv made eventually made their way to the apron, where Morgan nailed a Codebreaker, but Lynch reversed Morgan’s follow-up into a Manhandle Slam to win the match.

Why Rhea Ripley Vacated Title

Rhea Ripley looked to be a strong, and unbeatable, Women’s World Champion coming out of WrestleMania 40. Then Liv Morgan jumped her backstage during the RAW after the show of shows, and the Nightmare was injured.

Recent reports suggest that Ripley might need four to six weeks to regain shoulder mobility following a sprained AC joint injury. The incident is considered a “total fluke.” Typically, recovery from such an injury requires up to three months before she can resume ring activities.

Ripley had to make the sad announcement last week on RAW that she was vacating the Women’s World Championship. Before she left, Ripley also made it very clear that she will target whoever is champion when her return comes around.

Mick Foley Says Rhea Ripley Has Developed Into An ‘Iconic Entity’

Wrestling fans are still stunned after Rhea Ripley announced that she has been forced to vacate the WWE Women’s World Championship. Ripley’s incredible title reign ended after she injured her AC joint in a backstage brawl with Liv Morgan on the April 8 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

It’s believed that the injury occurred when Morgan slammed Ripley’s arm against a wall. WWE fans have noticed that once the champion’s arm hit the wall, she immediately grabbed her arm. She revealed in the following episode that she was injured in the altercation and vowed to return stronger to reclaim the WWE Women’s World Championship. While it’s unclear what Ripley’s timetable is for a return, it could be a few months. 

As she hopes to recover fully, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley wishes her a swift return. 

Mick Foley Talks About Rhea Ripley’s Injury

Foley shared his thoughts on Ripley’s injury on his YouTube channel. He also spoke positively of WWE booking for Ripley and has been impressed with her since 2019. 

“…We’ve here at the Foley family really thought highly of her since the first time she premiered when we saw her, Royal Rumble 2019. I’d written stories about her saying WWE really had to treat her like the special entity that she is. I’m the first to say, look, I knew she needed special treatment. I didn’t know it would be this good,” said Foley.

‘The Hardcore Legend’ continued to praise Ripley’s growth in WWE and believes she’ll gain more popularity when she returns.  

“…We watched Mami just grow from a superstar into an iconic entity. I have to believe she’s going to come back better than ever and more popular than ever,” said Foley.

Although the injury is unfortunate, WWE is moving forward and ready to crown a new women’s champion. 

New Champion To be Decided On 4/22 Episode of WWE Monday Night Raw

WWE has announced that the vacant women’s world title will be on the line in the next episode of Raw. The championship will be decided in a Battle Royal Match, including Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, and Morgan.

It’s unclear how many participants will compete in the match, but it seems to be exclusively members of the Raw brand. The timing of the title opportunity is also interesting as WWE plans to shake up the rosters with the WWE Draft starting on April 26. 

After injuring Ripley, Morgan has set her sights on becoming the new WWE Women’s World Champion. Fans seem to have picked her as the favorite to win, and she could be in line for a big match with ‘Mami’ when she eventually returns.

Details On How Rhea Ripley Was Injured

Rhea Ripley was forced to vacate her Women’s World Championship after she sustained a “freak injury” at the hands of Liv Morgan on last week’s Raw. She will be away from in-ring action and her recovery time is yet to be determined.

It is believed that ‘The Eradicator’ suffered the injury when Liv Morgan attacked her backstage and sent her into the wall. ‘Mami’ injured her AC joint where her collarbone and right shoulder are connected.

Initially, it was believed that the chair shot from Liv Morgan might have caused the injury but the outlet reported that wasn’t the case. 

Rhea Ripley as Women’s World Champion

Rhea Ripley has established herself as one of the top stars of the stacked WWE women’s division. She has had a dominant run as the champion and her latest title defense took place against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 40. 

She captured the Women’s World Championship (then known as WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship) after defeating Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. Holding the title for 380 days, Rhea eclipsed Bayley’s longest reign of the title (379 days) but her dominating reign has now ended in an unfortunate fashion. 

It has been announced that WWE will crown a new Women’s World Champion on next week’s Raw which takes place in Columbus, OH. It is currently unknown how the new champ will be determined. 

We will keep you updated on the situation when more details emerge. Keep an eye on SEScoops for the latest updates.

Welcome to the Daily Drop for Tuesday, April 16, 2024. WWE brought a packed episode of RAW last night, as they continue telling their stories past WrestleMania 40.

The biggest talking point has to be Rhea Ripley vacating the WWE Women’s World Title. She suffered an AC Joint sprain and had to vacate the title after an attack from Liv Morgan on the RAW after WrestleMania 40. A new champion will be crowned next week on the 4/22 episode of WWE RAW.

Now, let’s get into today’s Daily Drop!

WWE:

– New Titles: Triple H took the RAW Tag Team Titles off Awesome Truth this week on RAW, and he gave them new World Tag Team Titles. It was quite an awesome moment, where Montreal fans chanted “you deserve it” while Truth thought Triple H was Tommaso Ciampa.

– He’s back, Fella!: Sheamus provided a warning to the rest of the WWE RAW locker room after his successful 4/15 return.

– Young’s NDA: Eric Young stated that he had to sign an NDA before he left WWE. He refused to come back due to an unnamed person, and while reports Vince McMahon was the problem, he could not confirm that due to the non-disclosure agreement.

– Chad Gable Turn: Gable lost to Sami Zayn in the main event of RAW this week, but then he turned on Zayn. Now, Gable is a heel after beating down Montreal’s favorite son in his home city.

– Rousey’s Book: We learned a lot from Ronda Rousey’s book, “Our Fight.” You may check that out below.

– Creed Brothers Impress: The Creed Brothers aren’t messing around. Even though they did not win the triple threat match to become #1 contenders for the new WWE World Tag Team Titles. Team #DIY on that match to claim a shot at Awesome Truth.

– Heyman’s HOF Speech: Paul Heyman had an amazing reaction when a fan stated that his 2024 WWE Hall of Fame speech may have been the greatest ever. As I previously reported, many within WWE regard the speech as the best promo ever cut in WWE history.

– McIntyre’s Contract Status: Drew McIntyre has still not inked a new deal with Endeavor. At this point, he may be a massive free agent in a few weeks.

– The Maverick’s Big News: Logan Paul and fiancé Nina Agdal announced that they are expecting a baby in the fall.

– QR Codes Return: WWE aired another QR code this week on RAW. Those are certainly hinting toward something big.

– Ospreay’s Level: Will Ospreay admitted that he is nowhere near Kurt Angle’s level.

– All In Sales: AEW All In 2024 is scheduled for Sunday, August 25, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in London. As of now, there are 9,771 tickets available, with the current setup accommodating 50,708 attendees. To date, 40,937 tickets have been distributed.

– Nikki was almost All Elite: Nikki Bella watched Mercedes Mone’s AEW debut, and she almost called Tony Khan herself. In the end, she decided that being a mother was more important.

Rhea Ripley Excited For Future Dream Match With Jade Cargill

All eyes are on Jade Cargill as she aims to dominate the WWE women’s division. She made her impressive in-ring debut with the company in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match on January 27 and had fans wanting more. After two months of inactivity, she teamed up with Bianca Belair and Naomi in a win against Damage CTRL(Asuka, Kairi Sane & Dakota Kai) at WWE WrestleMania 40 on April 6. 

As she continues to build momentum in the company, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley already has her eyes on Cargill. 

During a surprise appearance at the Cheat Heat Live event over WrestleMania weekend,  host Peter Rosenberg asked Ripley if she was looking forward to a potential clash with the new WWE superstar. She replied that she was excited to step into the ring against Cargill.

“…I mean, it really excites me. It does. I love a good challenge, and Jade Cargill is someone that I think could bring that to me,” said Ripley. The champion also spoke highly of her potential rival and what impresses her about Cargill. “… She looks the part. She acts the part. She talks the part. She dresses the part. She does everything correct and when that day comes, I think that’s a big match feel. I don’t know when that will be, whether it is WrestleMania 41, WrestleMania 42, (WrestleMania)43, I’m not sure, but when that day comes, people are going to be talking about it, and people are going to be looking forward to it, so I’m also looking forward to it.”

Ripley also confidently said she will champion when she finally faces Cargill. Although fans and Ripley are looking forward to a dream match, it seems it won’t happen soon. 

What’s Next For Jade Cargill?

Both Cargill and Ripley’s future is uncertain, as both are expected to be involved in the upcoming WWE Draft. It will start on the April 26 episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown and continue on the April 29 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. It’s unclear what brand either superstar will end up on.

 However, the company has also decided to pair Cargill with Belair as they try to dominate the women’s tag team division.

On the April 12 episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown, Cargill teamed with Belair to defeat former tag champions Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. After the match, WWE Commentator Corey Graves teased that they could be looking to take over the women’s tag division. In a backstage interview, Cargill and Belair confirmed their intentions, saying that they like working together and want to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship from the Kabuki Warriors(Asuka & Sane).

After defeating Damage CTRL at WWE WrestleMania 40 and recently Green and Niven, it seems only a matter of time before Cargill and Belair get a title opportunity. If true, fans shouldn’t expect the new WWE superstar to be on the hunt for Ripley’s championship for some time. Although the dream match won’t occur anytime soon, the more Cargill accomplishes in WWE, the bigger the eventual showdown will be when it happens.

Rhea Ripley Vacates Women’s World Title on WWE Raw, Will Be Out For Months Due to Injury

Rhea Ripley has been forced to relinquish the WWE Women’s World Championship due to an injury that doctors have told her will keep her sidelined for months. She was injured during the backstage attack from Liv Morgan on the RAW after WrestleMania 40.

The April 15 edition of WWE RAW started with Rhea Ripley making her way to the ring with her arm in a cast. She also had a sullen look on her face, and a bit frustrated at her current situation.

Ripley started by saying, “obviously you guys know what’s going on,” before explaining that she is not medically cleared to compete for a few months. She will also need to vacate her title, The Nightmare was not happy about this.

WWE Women’s World Title Vacated

Rhea Ripley put her title down, and Montreal members of the WWE Universe were not happy about seeing Mami go.

The fans chanted “bullsh*t,” while Ripley said she agreed with them. She also said the Women’s World Title means the most to her, but she had to put it down anyway.

After laying down her title, Rhea Ripley cut a promo directly to whoever wins the Women’s World Title. Mami said her revenge tour will before blood.

Liv Morgan has been flexing online after the news broke of her injury. It remains to be determined how WWE will crown a new champion, but you have to imagine that Morgan will be in the running.

Morgan came out to rub salt in Ripley’s wounds after being warned that the Eradicator will hurt her. Security had to separate them, and then Ripley took out a security guard with a headbutt for good measure.

It was later announced during RAW that they will crown a new Women’s World Champion next week in Columbus, Ohio during their 4/22 episode.

Rhea Ripley Injured, May Need To Vacate WWE Women’s World Title

Rhea Ripley is dealing with an injury that has WWE officials seriously considering vacating her Women’s World Championship. PWInsider reports, “the issue is severe enough that the talk internally is that Ripley may be forced to vacate her championship, possibly as soon as tonight’s episode of Raw.”

Ripley was injured on last week’s 4/8 WWE Raw during a backstage brawl with former ally Liv Morgan. The melee began when Morgan threw a chair at Ripley’s head, which may have caused the injury. Tonight on WWE Raw, she’s scheduled to address the attack.

Ripley has held the title since WrestleMania 39 (when it was the SmackDown Women’s Championship) and recently defended the gold at WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch.  It’s a terribly unfortunate situation for Ripley, who has established herself as one of the biggest and brightest stars in WWE. 

Since capturing the gold in 2023, the Judgment Day member has proven to be a hit with WWE fans around the world and her popularity led to her main eventing in Australia at WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth. 

With that in mind, the decision to vacate the title will not be an easy one for those involved to make but, may be a necessary one. As for now, we at SEScoops wish Ripley the very best.

Bayley Responds To Rhea Ripley Saying Four Horsewomen Need To Move Over For Next Generation

Bayley is very happy to allow the next generation of women wrestlers to take their spot at the top but not before she has celebrated her own moment.

After defeating Becky Lynch at last night’s WrestleMania 40: Saturday event, Rhea Ripley was asked if the Four Horsewomen’s time in WWE was over. While The Mami acknowledged their contribution in the women’s revolution, she said that it was time for them to step aside.

At the post-show press conference tonight, Bayley was asked if her win over IYO SKY was an answer to the Judgement Day star. The new Women’s Champion first discussed how the young star is a once in a lifetime talent:

“I think Rhea is…she is once in a lifetime. I get so jealous of her. First I have so much respect for her because she works her butt off. She does everything. You guys see Judgement Day on every single show, like 10 times throughout the night. That is not easy and sometimes not always fun. It’s very hard.

So I have all the respect for the work she does. Plus she puts on incredible matches. She’s so young, so athletic. She does one dropkick, that I can’t even….I can’t do a drop kick to someone’s knees. It’s like everything she does makes me mad.”

I’m Glad To Watch It Happen: Bayley

Bayley then mentioned a number of young female talents that are taking the work of the Horsewomen to the next stage and proclaimed that she is very happy to watch it happen:

“But I feel as the time comes for the four horsewomen to lift the division up and get better and better as we wanted to do from the beginning. I’m glad that it’s going to someone like Rhea Ripley. It’s going to somebody like Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan. You got Zoey Starks.

There is so many women that are itching to get out there. Candice LeRae is finally showing her face out there. You all the girls in NXT Roxanne Perez, Lyra [Valkyria]. This is exactly what we wanted. So if she’s ready to take it on, I’m very proud and I’m very glad to watch it happen. But let me have my damn moment, Rhea.”

Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania last year and successfully took on Becky Lynch at this year’s edition of the Show of Shows. While it’s too early to predict the future, this banter turning into a match between The Mami and Bayley at WrestleMania 41 would be very poetic.

Rhea Ripley: Becky Lynch Is One of the Best, It’s Bloody Fantastic That I Beat Her

Rhea Ripley feels “bloody fantastic” to have beaten Becky Lynch at WWE WrestleMania 40: Saturday and retain the WWE Women’s World Championship. 

Ripley retained the gold against The Man in the opening match of the evening. The event marked one year on from when Ripley won the title, known as the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the time, from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. 

Speaking at the post-WrestleMania 40: Saturday press conference, Ripley reflected on her victory over one of the most decorated women in WWE history. 

“It feels bloody fantastic to say the least. Look, I went out there with one of the best in this federation, Becky Lynch. And to be able to step toe-to-toe with her and bring the fight to her, it meant the absolute world to me. And to be able to have it at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania XL, the largest WrestleMania there is, it’s very, very special. And not only that, but to have Motionless in White be there too, everything sort of came together for Mami and I proved once again that Mami is always on top.” 

The Judgment Day’s Mixed Night

While Ripley emerged triumphant against Becky Lynch, the other Judgment Day members did not fare so well. In the six-pack tag-team ladder match, Finn Balor and Damian Priest lost both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships to the Awesome Truth and A-Town Down Under respectively. This was despite JD McDonagh trying to aid his allies. Later in the show, Dominik Mysterio teamed with Santos Escobar in a losing effort to Rey Mysterio & Andrade.

WrestleMania 40: Rhea Ripley Retains Women’s World Title After Grueling Battle Against Becky Lynch

WWE sold out the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for WrestleMania 40. This was an epic show, and they kicked things off with a Women’s World Title match.

Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch opened up WrestleMania 40 with their Women’s World Title match. The crowd was hot and ready to go, and they got an impressive opening match in the process.

After a grueling contest, Rhea Ripley defeated Becky Lynch to retain the WWE Women’s World Title at WrestleMania 40. This will continue her reign as she carries on with over a year as champion.

The Match Finish

At one point, mid-way through the match, Lynch nailed the Man-Handle Slam, but Ripley kicked out at two. Then, Rhea Ripley nailed a Riptide, but Becky Lynch kicked out in return. After they kicked out of each other’s finishers, things picked up even more.

Ripley was eventually caught in the Dis-Arm-Her, but she lifted Lynch up, and they went tumbling over the top rope to the outside with an electric chair drop. Becky kicked out after a massive frog splash from Ripley when they returned to the ring, and the two continued until she nailed Lynch with a Riptide onto the turnbuckle, followed by a second in the middle of the ring for the win.

Becky Lynch won the 2024 Women’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth to get this title shot. Rhea Ripley’s championship reign was at 371 days as she walked into the showcase of the immortals.

Special WrestleMania 40 Entrances

Both Ripley and Lynch received special entrances. The Man’s entrance was themed around her book, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl.”

The Nightmare received a musical entrance as Motionless In White rocked out before the champion made her way out.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of the WrestleMania 40 event. Keep checking back for more headlines throughout the show, and after.

Mami On Top: WWE’s Rhea Ripley Hits One-Year Milestone as Women’s World Champion

Rhea Ripley has reached a milestone in her WWE career by hitting one whole year as the WWE Women’s World Champion.

The ‘Mami’ of the Judgment Day captured the title on April 1, 2023, at WrestleMania 39. Ripley won the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the event with a victory over Charlotte Flair. Ripley earned the match by winning the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match, though her record-long performance was surpassed by Bayley this year.

Rhea Ripley as Women’s World Champion

Across WWE Premium Live Events, Television shows, and untelevised matches, Ripley has defended her title a total of 46 times since winning the gold. Her most recent title defense was in a dark match following the March 29, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown. The ‘Mami’ retained against Shayna Baszler. 

Rhea Ripley’s Gold

Ripley’s reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion/Women’s World Champion is just the latest taste of gold for the Australian Superstar. She is also a former Raw Women’s Champion, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, NXT Women’s Champion, and NXT UK Women’s Champion. 

All of these accolades make Ripley the seventh WWE Women’s Triple Crown Champion and the fifth Women’s Grand Slam Champion. She is the only woman to have held all of the titles listed above. 

What’s Next for Rhea Ripley?

Ripley has held the title for one year, but her reign could be over within a matter of days. At WWE WrestleMania 40, Ripley will defend the Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch. The Man earned the title match by winning the 2024 Women’s Elimination Chamber match.

Becky Lynch Calls Rhea Ripley’s “Edgy” Stinkface A Step Backwards For Women in Wrestling

Rhea Ripley’s recent activities at WWE live events may have proven popular with fans, but Becky Lynch believes they are beneath a female Superstar. 

At a recent live event, Ripley defended her Women’s World Championship in a triple-threat match against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. During the match, Jax attempted to hit a stinkface on Ripley but the Aussie escaped and hit a stinkface on Jax. This spot immediately went viral online and Baszler herself would want to get in on the action the following night. 

Becky Lynch Isn’t Impressed

While the spot has proven popular with fans, Becky Lynch has questioned the message these stinkfaces are sending. Speaking recently to Wrestling News, Lynch said that it “sucks” that this spot is what people are talking about mere days ahead of WrestleMania. Lynch, a mother to a baby girl, pondered what some in the audience may have been feeling. 

“It’s edgy. But if I’m a little girl sitting in the crowd, or if I have my daughter, and she’s seeing that and she’s thinking that that’s what she needs to be if she’s a professional wrestler.”

Lynch added that for years, women had to fight to be acknowledged for more than just titillation, a fight that she feels Ripley is undoing with spots like the stinkface. 

“When I think of the amount of women that were at one stage, fighting against that treatment… Maybe I’m just like stuffy and and jaded because this is the stuff that I had to fight against.”

What’s to Come? 

Lynch and Ripley will face off next weekend at WrestleMania 40 for the WWE Women’s World Championship. This will be Ripley’s fifth consecutive championship match at WrestleMania and her second time defending a title. For Lynch, it’ll be her fifth championship match and her third time challenging.

What Happened With Rhea Ripley After 3/29 SmackDown Went Off Air

Fans were graced with the presence of The Mami Rhea Ripley after the 3/29 SmackDown from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut went off air.

The Women’s Champion made a brief appearance during the show. This came after the segment between LWO and Legado Del Fantasma. A tag team match between Dominik Mysterio & Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee for WrestleMania 40 was announced during this confrontation.

The whole Judgement Day was shown backstage after this and Dom apologized to his teammates for not informing them of his intentions ahead of time.

This wasn’t the last of Rhea Ripley fans got to see, however. The World Champion competed in a dark match after SmackDown went off air where she retained her title against Shayna Baszler.

The second dark match of the night featured another member of the Judgement Day. Finn Balor squared off against Sami Zayn in this match but unlike Mami, he failed to win the contest.

What Happened On SmackDown

Apart from this, the show also featured an appearance from former AEW star Jade Cargill. The female star made her SmackDown signing official during the show and put the whole roster on notice.

Cargill made her presence felt in a big way during the main event segment as well. The final broadcasted match of the night featured Bianca Belair defeating Dakota Kai in a singles contest.

Asuka and Kairi Sane attacked the EST immediately after the bell rang and Naomi also failed to stop this assault. Jade Cargill made the save for the babyfaces and they stood tall to end the show.

Rhea Ripley On Taking it to The Men: ‘At School They Called Me The Nutcracker’

Rhea Ripley isn’t afraid to take it to the male Superstars and her willingness to take it to all sexes has been a long-standing tradition for WWE’s resident ‘Mami.’

Ripley hasn’t been shy when it comes to taking on male Superstars during her tenure with WWE. Before his inclusion in the Judgment Day, Dominik Mysterio often fell victim to attacks by Ripley in 2022. Superstars who have fallen victim to ‘Mami’ include AJ Styles, Matt Riddle, Akira Tozawa, Rey Mysterio, Kevin Owens, and Luke Gallows, as seen in the video below. 

Rhea Ripley: The Nutcracker

Ripley’s toughness in the face of men is nothing new for the Judgment Day star. Speaking on an episode of Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast, Ripley recalled holding her own during her younger years. 

“I got the nickname in high school ‘Nutcracker’ for a reason. Because I used to hit people in the nuts.”

Ripley added that it’s not just her adversaries who have to submit to ‘Mami’ but that she often gets ‘physical’ with her partner, AEW star Buddy Matthews. 

“Being in the relationship that I am with my partner, we scrap a little bit. I normally start it and I finish it.” 

Rhea Ripley Vs. Logan Paul?

During the podcast, Paul joked that he and Ripley will one day have a match for the custody of Dominik Mysterio. Unfazed by the WWE United States Champion, Ripley said Paul can get ready to have his a** kicked. If it happened, the match would be the second ‘Custody of Dominik’ match in WWE history. Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero competed over a young Dominik at SummerSlam 2005 in a ladder match Rey won. 

What’s to Come for Rhea Ripley? 

Ripley’s next big match will see her face a ‘Man’ albeit one of a different kind. The Judgment Day member will put her WWE Women’s World Championship on the line at WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch. Lynch earned the title shot with a victory in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match.

CM Punk Got Jokes Ahead of 3/25 Chicago WWE Raw

CM Punk is ready to spit fire on Chicago. Punk will make his long-awaited return to the Windy City under the WWE banner tonight on WWE Raw and he has clearly been taking note on what’s been going on television and at live events.

On his Instagram stories very early Monday morning, Punk shared a doctored photo of him and Cody Rhodes closed-eye kissing with the caption:

“I see what Rhea Ripley been doing on house shows and I’m prepared to raise the bar. See you tomorrow Chicago!”

Punk then added, “Live TV is the best, let’s all swear!”

CM Punk hasn’t been a featured star on WWE since tearing his triceps during the Royal Rumble match, which now the heel Drew McIntyre takes great credit for. When Punk confirmed his injury the following night on Raw, McIntyre came out to confront, demean and beat down Punk. McIntyre has made it a calling card of his to relentlessly take digs at Punk and ruining his opportunity to main event a WrestleMania.

Punk was last seen as a guest commentator during the WWE WrestleMania 40 Kickoff in Las Vegas and had several thoughts regarding the ongoings at the T-Mobile Arena.  Punk made clear that Cody Rhodes should’ve punched The Rock in the mouth after he slapped him and even mocked The Rock while he was still on stage about 50 yards away.

One would imagine Punk’s return will likely involve McIntyre tonight and Punk has previously said that he plans to be at WrestleMania 40 even if he’s not invited.

Raising The Bar: CM Punk Is Prepared To Outdo Rhea Ripley’s Stinkface During 3/25 WWE RAW

WWE fans saw CM Punk go out of action with an injury after the Royal Rumble, but he intends on being at WrestleMania 40, whether he’s invited or not. He plans on raising the bar during WWE RAW this week.

CM Punk will be on hand for the March 25 episode of WWE RAW in Chicago. He wants to leave a mark, and he wants to told Rhea Ripley’s recent stinkface activities. 

CM Punk Makes Bold Claim

Rhea Ripley’s stinkface antics have gone viral at this point. Shayna Baszler also drew attention to the spot by practically begging for The Nightmare to execute Rikishi’s signature move on her.

CM Punk is out of action with a triceps injury, but he’s been paying attention. The Second City Savior posted on his Instagram story to make it clear that he’s seen what Ripley has been doing at WWE live event, and he intends on outdoing her.

Punk also included a photo of himself face-to-face with Cody Rhodes. The story also had a soundtrack of “Like A Parasite” by The Queers.

I see what Rhea Ripley has been doing on house shows and I’m prepared to raise the bar. See you tomorrow Chicago!

On another note, CM Punk said that he’s also ready to step in the ring with Rhea Ripley. WWE has a ban on intergender matches in place, but that contest would bring a lot of eyes to it.

CM Punk’s WrestleMania 40 Story

WWE RAW will be in Chicago this week, and CM Punk won’t miss it. It is unclear what he will do at this point, because he is not involved in any WrestleMania match at this time. He may reply to Drew McIntyre’s barrage of attacks that he’s been shoveling Punk’s direction since his injury hiatus started. 

CM Punk was originally slated to face Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. Cody Rhodes was always going to win the Royal Rumble, but an injury angle was going to take him out of action. The Rock was initially going to take on Roman Reigns in the main event, with Cody waiting until later to cash in his Rumble win. After Punk’s injury and the #WeWantCody reaction from his “Cody Crybabies,” WWE changed the WrestleMania 40 card to what we have today.

CM Punk’s WrestleMania Plans

Punk said that he will be at WrestleMania 40, whether he’s invited or not. He has not been announced for any match or segment during the two-night extravaganza at this time. He will make an appearance during WWE World, Fanatics’ first-ever WWE event.

CM Punk also showed off some gear on Instagram recently that he may use to surprise fans at WrestleMania. You may find that post below.

Shayna Baszler Pleads For Rhea Ripley’s Stinkface At WWE Rockford Live Event

Shayna Baszler was hoping to get up close and personal with Rhea Ripley after a stinkface from the WWE Women’s World Champion went viral online. 

At an event on March 23 in Springfield, IL, Ripley avoided taking a stinkface from Nia Jax during a title match triple threat that included Baszler. After escaping the corner, Ripley hit a stinkface of her own on the Irresistible Force, much to the delight of the crowd. 

Shayna Baszler Wants A Stinkface

The next night, the three women had the same match, as WWE live events often use the same card in different cities. Once again, Ripley was poised to hit Jax with the finishing move of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi. This time, however, Baszler interjected and placed herself in the corner, eager to be hit by the move. 

Unfortunately for Baslzer, who has dated both men and women in the past, it wasn’t meant to be. Nia Jax would interrupt before Shayna’s face got well-acquainted with the buttocks of the Australian Superstar. Ripley would go on to retain the title. 

Buddy Matthews Weighs In

Ripley has some flirty fun in the ring, but she is happily engaged to AEW star Buddy Matthews. After her stinkface on Nia Jax went viral, Matthews said it was a regular occurrence for him. 

What’s Next? 

Rhea Ripley will defend the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch. The Man earned the title match by winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber last month. The match will be Ripley’s second time defending a title at WrestleMania. She previously failed to retain the NXT Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36,
