30-year-old WWE star teases next strike amidst heated rivalry with Rhea Ripley

Three months after getting sidelined due to a shoulder injury on WWE RAW, Rhea Ripley made a shocking return to the red brand and seems focused on reclaiming the Women's World Championship. The Eradicator was forced to relinquish her title after sustaining the injury during a backstage assault by Liv Morgan.

Since Ripley was on a hiatus, recovering from her injury, Morgan used this opportunity to continue her 'revenge tour'. Despite a minor setback initially, she ultimately defeated Becky Lynch at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event to win the Women's World Championship. In Mami's absence, she also immersed herself in The Judgment Day's business.

Morgan worked her charm to get Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh a shot at the World Tag Team Championship, which they duly won with her help, and the duo seemed to be warming up to her. The 30-year-old also enticed Dominik Mysterio to the point where it is uncertain whether the latter is in cahoots with her or whether he remains loyal to Mami. Nevertheless, Ripley appears to have let bygones be bygones with him.

It is unclear what Morgan has planned next, as she claims that the 'Liv Morgan Revenge Tour' is far from done. The 30-year-old wants to make The Nightmare's life a living hell. The champion took to X (fka Twitter) today to send a message, possibly teasing her next strike on The Eradicator.

"When you have to make a quick stop on the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour," read the graphic on the photo she posted.

Check out her X post below:

Rhea Ripley vs. Women's World Champion, Liv Morgan has been made official for August 3. It is one of the most anticipated bouts on the card. This marks Ripley's first in-ring performance since WWE WrestleMania Saturday on April 6, where she successfully defended her title against Lynch.


Liv Morgan wants Dominik Mysterio to be there for her match against Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam

For many fans, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley's match is one that they have been waiting to see for quite some time.

Morgan made her return to the promotion at Royal Rumble, earlier this year in January, after being away from the ring for six months. Although their storyline had more depth, WWE saved the high-profile bout for later between the two stars and booked Ripley against Becky Lynch for WWE WrestleMania XL.

Speaking on Good Karma Wrestling recently, Liv Morgan made an indirect request to Dominik Mysterio, hoping he would be there to support her. She had massive words of praise for the 27-year-old and felt that he possessed a lot more potential that was yet to be tapped into.

"I hope Daddy Dom will be there. I hope that he'll be supporting me. I hope that he sees in me what I see in him because I think Daddy Dom has unlimited potential, and I think a lot of it is still untapped. I think he's going to be the biggest star in the company. [...] I hope, of course, that Daddy Dom is gonna be rooting for me," Morgan said.

It remains to be seen if WWE Creative goes ahead and officially books Dominik Mysterio as part of the Women's World Championship match, in some form at SummerSlam on August 3.
