Ripley then tells Dominik that she’s proud of him and everything he’s accomplished the last couple of years. Ripley then says he finally did something for himself, but she really wanted him to beat Rey on his own so there was no excuse as to why he couldn’t beat him. Morgan then says Ripley only said one true thing and that is that Dominik is hers. Morgan then says Ripley has nothing and she has no family. Morgan then says Ripley’s real family is thousands of miles away in Australia and she took her Judgment Day family from her. Morgan then says she took Dominik and the Women’s World Championship from Ripley and everything that was Ripley’s is now hers. Ripley then says while Morgan has taken a lot from her, she has still left her standing. Ripley then says as long as she’s standing, she will come for Morgan. Damian Priest then sneaks up behind Morgan and Dominik and attacks Dominik as Morgan runs down the stairs. Dominik and Priest then brawls through the Moody Center as Ripley joins them and goes after Morgan. Priest and Dominik then brawl through the crowd and into the ringside area, then gets him into the ring and looks to hit the South Of Heaven on him.
