With the first RAW after the big event, WWE is getting ready to spin fresh tales for the future now that WrestleMania 40 has passed. In the main event, Rhea Ripley defended her WWE Women’s World Championship by defeating Becky Lynch. So, this part may seem over for now, but on this weekend’s RAW, the payback plot that Rhea Ripley started when she attacked Liv Morgan last year seems to be gradually unfolding.
Liv Morgan is still nursing her wounds from Rhea Ripley’s brutal attack back in July 2023 who has also closely observed her nemesis retain the title in the Shows of the Immortals. This week’s Raw continues the storyline that began last year on July 24th, when Ripley’s brutal steel chair attack injured Morgan badly and forced her to miss the live action. Livie’s desire for vengeance against her former comrade has recently been revived after Ripley’s triumph at WrestleMania.
During this week’s RAW episode, following their defeat to Awesome Truth at WrestleMania, Ripley and Dominik Mysterio had a conversation backstage about Andrade, the one who had betrayed them. While they were talking, the 29-year-old snuck up on Ripley with a steel chair and let out all of her anger.
Officials from WWE stepped in to stop things from getting worse, but she is still determined to get revenge on the Eradicator by taking away the World Women’s Championship. She seems to be very strategic in taking away everything from Mami this time.
Liv Morgan finds comfort in Rhea Ripley’s championship defense at WrestleMania
Although Liv Morgan didn’t compete in this year’s grandest event, she’s not feeling down about it. Instead, she’s happy that Rhea Ripley retained her championship. She takes this as a sign that she may finally get even with Ripley and challenge her for the belt.
Following WrestleMania XL, Liv Morgan discussed her feelings in an interview with WWE’s The Bump. She spoke about how she is waiting for the right moment to seek revenge in a patient manner.
She said per EWrestling News, “I am happy that Rhea won. Do you know why I’m happy she won? Because I’m gonna be the one to take away everything from her. I’m very much aware of what Rhea’s capable of. I’m very much aware of her greatness, but it’s not gonna be at the cost of my career.”
