4 reasons why Rhea Ripley needs to defeat Liv Morgan on WWE RAW
Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley have been involved in a personal rivalry on WWE television for months. Ripley is a former Women's World Champion but was forced to relinquish the title due to injury following WrestleMania XL. Liv Morgan defeated Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring in May to capture the title and has been champion ever since.
Dominik Mysterio used to be in a storyline relationship with Ripley but betrayed his former Judgment Day stablemate at SummerSlam to help Morgan retain the title. The 30-year-old is set to defend the Women's World Championship against The Eradicator next Monday night on the debut episode of WWE RAW on Netflix.
Listed below are four reasons why Rhea Ripley needs to win the title from Liv Morgan next week.
#4. Rhea Ripley should have the title heading into WWE WrestleMania
Rhea Ripley has established herself as one of the biggest stars in the entire wrestling industry. She has become a household name, and most fans expect to see her when they attend WWE events.
Liv Morgan is on the best run of her career and has done an exceptional job as Women's World Champion. However, the company likely wants to have Ripley capture the title and head into WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas as the reigning champion next year.
#3. Ripley never lost the title
Rhea Ripley held the Women's World Championship for an impressive 380 days before being forced to relinquish the title following WWE WrestleMania XL. The 28-year-old defeated Becky Lynch on The Grandest Stage of Them All in her final match as champion.
Liv Morgan has mocked Rhea Ripley for her injuries and even caused the RAW star to miss some time with a fractured orbital bone due to a heinous attack on the October 29, 2024 episode of WWE NXT. Ripley must defeat Morgan to recapture the title and re-establish herself as the biggest threat in the women's division on RAW.
#2. The company may have other plans for The Judgment Day
There has been a lot of turmoil within The Judgment Day in recent weeks on WWE RAW. Finn Balor's ego took a hit after he failed to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event and then lost the World Tag Team Championship to The War Raiders on the following episode of the red brand. Liv Morgan is now the only champion remaining in The Judgment Day, and her title reign could be in jeopardy next week on Netflix.
The promotion debuted a new theme song for the faction this past Monday night on RAW and could be planning on making several changes to the popular group in the weeks ahead. Morgan losing the Women's World Championship could cause further dissension within the group and may lead to her leaving The Judgment Day in the weeks ahead.
#1. Rhea Ripley must put an end to her rivalry with Liv Morgan once and for all
The rivalry between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan has gotten extremely personal over the past few months. Morgan has successfully taken Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day away from Ripley during her title reign so far.
Ripley needs to defeat Morgan next week on WWE RAW to put an end to their rivalry once and for all. She could dominate Morgan for the entire bout, leaving no reason for the company to book a rematch down the line.
