5 potential stipulations that could be added to Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam - rare Shark Cage match
Rhea Ripley made her triumphant return to WWE RAW in the closing moments of last week's show. She arrived just as Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio were about to kiss in the ring. Morgan ran away as Ripley made her way to the ring but watched on from backstage as she argued with Dirty Dom.
The Eradicator kicked off tonight's episode of WWE RAW but was quickly interrupted by Dominik Mysterio. He made his way to the ring with a single black rose and begged for forgiveness before Liv Morgan interrupted on the titantron. Ripley challenged Morgan to a Women's World Championship match at SummerSlam, and the 30-year-old accepted.
Listed below are five stipulations that can be added to Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam.
#5. Liv Morgan's WWE career could be on the line at SummerSlam
Rhea Ripley had an impressive reign as Women's World Champion but was forced to relinquish the title due to injury following her victory over Becky Lynch at WWE WrestleMania XL. The Judgment Day member is determined to get the title back that she never lost and also vowed to end Liv Morgan's career at SummerSlam.
The match at SummerSlam could be a Career vs.Title match on August 3. If Morgan loses, she must also leave the company. Rhea Ripley appears to be very frustrated with Dominik Mysterio, and it could lead to the former North American Champion siding with Liv Morgan at SummerSlam to save her career.
#4. Dominik Mysterio could be barred from ringside at SummerSlam
Dominik Mysterio has played a pivotal role in Liv Morgan's reign as Women's World Champion. He got involved in Morgan's match at WWE King and Queen of the Ring and inadvertently helped her defeat Becky Lynch to become champion. He also accidentally closed the steel cage door on The Man's face to help Morgan retain the title on the May 27 episode of RAW.
Rhea Ripley could approach RAW General Manager Adam Pearce in the coming weeks and demand that Dominik Mysterio be barred from ringside at SummerSlam. This would cause Liv Morgan to come up with another strategy for the Premium Live Event on August 3.
#3. Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan could battle in a No Disqualification match
The rivalry between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley has become far too personal to be settled in a standard singles match. Liv Morgan has claimed to be responsible for the 27-year-old's injury and has been actively trying to steal Dominik Mysterio away from her for months.
Adam Pearce could decide to make a significant change to the Women's World Championship match at WWE SummerSlam. The RAW GM could announce that the title match will have No Disqualifications due to the brewing hatred between both stars.
#2. Dominik Mysterio could be suspended above the ring in a shark cage at SummerSlam
Rather than having Dominik Mysterio barred from ringside, a stipulation could be added that he will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage for the Women's World Championship match at SummerSlam. This would prevent Dirty Dom from getting involved from the ringside area, but he could still play a role in the match.
Dominik Mysterio has been a central figure in this rivalry and it would make sense for him to be present during the match at the Premium Live Event. If Mysterio is suspended above the ring, he could potentially drop a weapon for either Morgan or Mysterio to use in the match next month.
#1. Becky Lynch could be the special guest referee for the title match at SummerSlam
Becky Lynch's WWE contract expired shortly after her loss to Liv Morgan in the Steel Cage match on the May 27 episode of RAW. She is currently a free agent and has not appeared on WWE television in close to two months.
The Man could make her long-awaited return to the company as the special guest referee at SummerSlam. She lost to both Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan ahead of her hiatus and would be a great choice to referee the Women's World Championship match next month.
The rivalry between Morgan and Ripley has already captured the WWE Universe's attention, but Becky Lynch being a part of the storyline would also bring more intrigue from fans who have been waiting for her to return.
