Rhea Ripley Named #1 Contender for Liv Morgan’s Title During 12/16 WWE RAW

Liv Morgan walked out of Saturday Night’s Main Event with her title in hand after beating IYO Sky. She’s not stopping there, as Morgan was there to take center stage during the December 16 episode of WWE RAW in Boston.

After Liv Morgan beat IYO Sky, Rhea Ripley came out of to interrupt her celebration. This sent a very clear message that Ripley isn’t finished chasing Morgan’s title.

Morgan made her way to the ring to kick off the show’s second hour. She was very happy to be in Boston alongside “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez as Women’s World Champion. The Boston crowd was also very happy to boo the Judgment Day out of the building.

The Women’s World Champion, with a megaphone in tow, was very happy to rub it in the fans’ faces that we’ve been in the year of Monday Night Morgan. Then Rhea Ripley made her way out to interrupt her. Ripley had a microphone in her hand, and she told Morgan that she wants to stick around to hear what she has to say.

Rhea Ripley said that this has gone on for too long, and they will settle things. Adam Pearce has made Ripley the #1 contender for Liv Morgan’s title, and they will face each other in a match that the Nightmare promises will spell the end of Morgan’s title reign.

Liv Morgan is still riding high with a 200+ day reign as Women’s World Champion after she won the title from Becky Lynch at King & Queen of the Ring 2024 in Saudi Arabia. She’s been on top of her game since then, without losing a match for practically the entire year. We will have to see when Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan throw down, but that match is a long time coming.
