Current champion feels "dirty" seeing Liv Morgan with popular WWE star
WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley recently spoke about Liv Morgan forming a tag team with Raquel Rodriguez.
After a successful singles run on SmackDown, where she won the Money in the Bank briefcase and the Women's title, Liv found a teammate in Raquel. The two women soon joined forces and became one of the most dominant tandems in the division.
The SmackDown Women's Champion spoke with Ring the Belle in an exclusive interview. She mentioned that she was disgusted with how close Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have grown over time. Rhea further mentioned that both Liv and Raquel were her former tag team partners, and somehow she felt responsible for bringing them together in the first place.
"Now she climbs Raquel and you know, I feel dirty. They're both my ex-tag team partners. I feel like I brought them together in a way, uugh." [From 2:21 - 2:30]
