Despite successfully defending her title against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL, Rhea Ripley has no shortage of challengers. On the Raw after the Showcase of Immortals, The Eradicator was greeted by a familiar face. The name in question is Liv Morgan, whom Mami brutally attacked to put her out of action.

During Raw, Rhea Ripley expressed her disappointment to Dominik Mysterio for failing to recruit Andrade. However, after the conversation ended, she was hit by a flying chair out of nowhere. Liv Morgan orchestrated the attack as she was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. She continued to lay punches on her and vowed to claim her championship.

The history between the two superstars dates back a long time. Last year, Ripley viciously attacked Morgan on the July 17 episode of Raw. The latter suffered an injury and was sidelined from WWE for almost six months. The 29-year-old finally made her return as the final entrant in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble with the aim of winning it and possibly targeting The Judgment Day member.

However, things were not meant to be, as Bayley eliminated her to win. Later, Morgan once again fell short of an opportunity to fight for the title, as Becky Lynch won the Elimination Chamber match by pinning her. Now that The Man is out of the picture, it will be interesting to see how Liv Morgan capitalizes on the chance to take everything away from The Eradicator.
