In an electrifying twist that shook WWE Raw to its core, the formidable Rhea Ripley made her thunderous return. This Monday night spectacle came right after the unlikely duo, Dominik Mysterio and current Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, clinched a mixed tag team victory against the LWO’s own Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega.
Ripley, the former Women’s World Champion, had been out of action, nursing wounds inflicted by none other than Liv Morgan. Forced to vacate her championship, Ripley had vanished, but Morgan had declared a “Revenge Tour” and eyed Ripley’s boyfriend, Dominik, as a key stop on her rampage route. Earlier, Judgment Day’s Damian Priest was caught backstage on a mysterious phone call, presumably with Ripley, adding fuel to the speculation of her imminent return.
The plot thickened as Dominik reluctantly teamed with Morgan, who repeatedly thrust him into precarious predicaments throughout the night. Yet, their controversial tactics led them to victory. With a strategically thrown chair and some high-flying antics, Dominik finally managed to pin his legendary father, Rey Mysterio, earning his first victory over the old man.
Amidst the post-match chaos, Dominik and Morgan found themselves in an awkward embrace, which escalated into an unintended tumble, sparking rumors of Dominik succumbing to Morgan’s seductive schemes. But just as the chemistry was about to bubble over, Ripley’s entrance music blared, sending both Dominik and Morgan into a comedic panic.
Ripley charged down the ramp like a woman possessed, while Morgan made a hasty retreat through the crowd, leaving poor Dominik to face the wrath of “Mami” alone. The live broadcast cut off at the critical moment, leaving viewers hanging. However, backstage footage captured Ripley delivering a fiery verbal beatdown to Dominik before storming off, with Dominik trailing behind, desperately trying to explain himself. WWE’s social media later revealed a smirking Morgan watching the chaos unfold from behind the curtain before she turned away, her smile widening.
