Rhea Ripley comments on betraying popular WWE star
Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley used to be partners on WWE television. However, they have now become bitter enemies, and Ripley recently shared why she decided to turn her back on the 30-year-old in the past.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former Judgment Day member noted that she used to trust her. However, she claimed that she sensed Morgan was going to betray her, so she decided to beat her to the punch.
"So I trusted her, until I started feeling like something bad was going to happen. I have been backstabbed by multiple partners prior to this, and I mean she has too. So we were both broken in the same ways and it was only about time that one of us were turning on the other. With us arguing, and us not getting along, and us losing our matches and her draining that killer side of me, and making me into this mushy little tag partner that she wanted, I felt like I was getting sculpted for a betrayal. So I thought I had to do it before she did," said Ripley. [4:18 onwards]
