3 signs Dominik Mysterio will betray Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam
WWE SummerSlam 2024 is on the horizon! The Biggest Party of The Summer will be staged at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 3, 2024.
The marquee event is stacked with major matches. This includes CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest vs. Gunther, Bayley vs. Nia Jax, and Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa, among other bouts.
One of the most intriguing matches on the card is for the Women's World Championship. Rhea Ripley, who recently returned to television, will go one-on-one with the reigning champion Liv Morgan. While the match is a one-on-one encounter, in theory, there is the Dominik Mysterio factor attached to it.
Dominik is currently dating Rhea Ripley, but he and Liv Morgan have had an interesting dynamic in recent months. Many believe Dirty Dom will betray Rhea and side with Liv at SummerSlam. This article will look at a handful of these signs, which indicate that Dom Dom will turn on his Mami next month.
Below are three signs Dominik Mysterio will betray Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam:
#3. Liv Morgan's reactions on recent WWE RAW episodes are quite interesting
Liv Morgan is the reigning Women's World Champion. She is also a former SmackDown Women's Champion and WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. Morgan claimed the Women's World Title by defeating Becky Lynch at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE.
Morgan has constantly tried to woo Dominik Mysterio since claiming the title, and her recent reactions indicate that she might have succeeded in her attempts. The first is when Rhea Ripley returned to WWE TV on an episode of RAW earlier this month. While Liv did flee from the ring, she was seen smiling backstage as Dom Dom tried to convince an angry Mami.
Fast forward to this past Monday, and Dominik verbally assaulted The Miracle Kid. Liv began sobbing and seemingly had quite the emotional fit. Did she really, though?
The fact that Liv kept seducing Dominik despite Ripley's return was a sign that Mysterio would eventually turn on his Mami, but Morgan's 'fake tears' after being 'rejected' by her ''Daddy Dom'' this past Monday point to an impending betrayal from the former NXT North American Champion.
#2. Dominik Mysterio taking this long to tell Liv to back off is suspicious
WWE Monday Night RAW featured what was, in theory, a major moment. Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan had a segment together, and Dom Dom finally hit back at the former Riott Squad member.
The Judgment Day member asserted he wasn't interested in Morgan and blamed the latter for ''ruining his life.'' As noted, Liv began sobbing and left. Meanwhile, Rhea reacted positively to it, as she licked her on-screen boyfriend and planted a kiss on his cheeks. But the question is: Why did it take so long for Dominik to stand up to Liv Morgan?
The fact that Mysterio let Liv fool around and tease him for months and only stopped after Rhea Ripley's return likely isn't a coincidence. Instead, it could be a trap, with Dom Dom eventually turning on his Mami at The Biggest Party of The Summer.
#1. The Judgment Day is falling apart
The Judgment Day is one of the biggest and most dominant factions in modern WWE history. The group currently features Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest, although Carlito is essentially a member at this point.
The heel stable has endured a turbulent time in recent months. More specifically, the stable members seem to be opposed to Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. On WWE RAW this week, The Judgment Day didn't help The Archer of Infamy during his brawl with Gunther. Meanwhile, they often ignored or outright disagreed with Rhea on multiple subjects.
The tension between The Terror Twins and the rest of the group isn't a happy accident. The stable is on the verge of implosion, with Rhea and Damian potentially getting kicked out. The faction could implode at SummerSlam with Dominik and Finn Balor possibly turning on The Nightmare and The Archer of Infamy.
It will be interesting to see how the saga plays out in the coming weeks.
