The intense rivalry between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan is set to reach its climax at WWE SummerSlam, with both women vying for the WWE Women’s World Championship.
However, on the July 22nd edition of Monday Night RAW, after learning about her beloved Dominik Mysterio’s backstage encounter with Morgan, Rhea Ripley dragged him out to the ring.
Ripley immediately called out Morgan, who appeared in the audience but refused to enter the ring. Morgan expressed her affection for Mysterio while mocking Ripley’s appearance. As she charged towards Morgan, Dominik intervened.
In a moment of rage, Dominik declared his hatred for Morgan, saying she meant nothing to him, leaving her in tears. Ripley then showed affection for Dominik, infamously licking his face and walking hand in hand with him to the backstage area. Rhea’s lick spot attracted the attention of her real-life husband, AEW star Buddy Matthews, who reacted to the same via his X with a creature stuck behind a glass, licking it GIF.
While Buddy’s reaction seemed on point, this recent development adds another layer of intensity to the already heated rivalry between Ripley and Morgan. With emotional stakes higher than ever, the stage is set for an explosive showdown at SummerSlam, which would is expected to be nothing short of a blockbuster. As for Buddy Matthews, maybe he and Rhea would have a talk regarding the same once Mami gets home.
