Dominik Mysterio to do the unthinkable, new champion crowned? - 4 possible finishes for Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam
WWE Monday Night RAW last night was huge in terms of storyline development. Several big matches set for SummerSlam received build, including bouts not officially confirmed yet. Additionally, one match was confirmed for the big-time premium live event that most fans assumed would be added to the card.
Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley is the match confirmed for the show. Not only will the two high-quality competitors compete at The Biggest Party of the Summer, but the Women's World Championship will also be on the line.
This bout is a long time in the making. Not only have they been feuding throughout much of 2024, but they had issues in 2023 and even in 2022. Realistically speaking, they have years of animosity to sort out in the ring.
The main thing fans are wondering is how the match will conclude. This article will take a look at a handful of potential finishes for The Eradicator vs. The Miracle Kid at the upcoming premium live event.
Below are four possible finishes for Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam.
#4. Rhea Ripley will defeat Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam
Rhea Ripley returned to WWE after months away, which is exciting for fans. While there are many reasons that the audience gravitates towards The Ripper, above all else, she is an incredible pro wrestler.
As proof of how good The Nightmare is, take a look at her resume. She was a champion on NXT UK, NXT, RAW, and SmackDown. She has also held the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles and has won the Women's Royal Rumble Match.
When Ripley and Morgan clash at SummerSlam, the powerful Rhea may prove to be too much for Liv to handle. If she locks in the Prism Trap or hits The Riptide, Rhea will win the match clean and become champion.
#3. Liv Morgan will get the upset victory
Liv Morgan is an accomplished WWE star. Beyond being the Women's World Champion, she is a former Miss Money in the Bank. From there, she cashed in the briefcase successfully on Ronda Rousey. If that wasn't enough, Liv is a former Women's Tag Team Champion.
The Miracle Kid has the nickname for a reason. Despite her stature not being quite on par with the likes of Rhea Ripley, Raquel Rodriguez, Jade Cargill, and others, Liv manages to succeed in WWE on a regular basis.
Morgan may pull off an upset win at SummerSlam when she takes on Rhea Ripley. If she can get a fluke pin or take advantage of Ripley being out of action for months and likely a step or two behind, Liv could shock the wrestling world and retain her prized gold.
#2. The Judgment Day will pull themselves together and help Rhea win
The Judgment Day has long been one of WWE's most dominant factions. The group was first formed in 2022 and currently features five full-time members in JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio. Carlito is attempting to join the stable.
While the faction has been dominant, there is a lot of tension right now. Damian Priest is having issues with Dirty Dom and Finn Balor. Rhea is having her own problems with Mysterio. On top of that, apart from Priest, the WWE faction seemingly didn't keep in contact with The Ripper during her absence.
Still, the group could come together and get past their issues. More specifically, they can band together and make sure Rhea wins at SummerSlam. If the stable causes a distraction of some kind, Ripley could get a quick pin on the champion and thus bring more gold to the faction. Rhea may appear to be a babyface, but it could be a trick or something that may change.
#1. Dominik Mysterio will cost Mami the win
The story of Dominik Mysterio in WWE has been fascinating to watch. He started off as a somewhat vanilla-good guy teaming up with Rey Mysterio, his Hall of Fame father. Dirty Dom was later corrupted by Rhea Ripley and the two became a couple.
While Rhea has been away from television, however, a different star has been attempting to corrupt Mysterio: Liv Morgan. The Miracle Kid has been attempting to seduce Dom, but the former champion keeps denying her advances, at least for the time being.
During RAW this week, Rhea claimed that Mysterio was "hers," but that may not be the case come SummerSlam. A jaded Dirty Dom may shock the world and cost Rhea the victory. From there, he and Liv can unite and Ripley can be booted from The Judgment Day.
