Liv Morgan has to look over her shoulder, WWE legend noted, and it's not about Rhea Ripley
Women's World Champion Liv Morgan is once again the target of Rhea Ripley, who is hell-bent on putting away Morgan once and for all. For Ripley, it is all about the belt. Tommy Dreamer noted that whether the 30-year-old retains over The Eradicator does not matter, as she has to worry about Becky Lynch.
The Irish star wrestled her final match on WWE RAW in May 2024. She failed to win the Women's World Title from Liv Morgan inside a Steel Cage, courtesy of a timely save by Dominik Mysterio. When asked recently whether the WWE Universe has seen the last of her, The Man claimed that 'Dirty' Dom slamming the cage door on her face will not be the last fans see of her on the show.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Tommy Dreamer stated that Liv Morgan will stay fresh even if WWE plans to switch the titleholder in the coming weeks. Dreamer pointed to Lynch's return, saying that it is a feud that will happen after she completes her commitments to the upcoming Star Trek series on Paramount.
"I also know waiting in the wings is Becky Lynch," Tommy Dreamer stated. "We've heard about her. She's been part of the Netflix launch. Also, shout out to her—I believe she's got some TV show? She's going to be part of the Star Trek or something like that. But with Becky on the horizon, Liv [Morgan] would be fresh as fresh can be with The Man coming after her." [From 24:21 to 24:46]
Since Becky Lynch's WWE exit, Liv Morgan has been bragging a lot. She claims The Man has retired, and fans have her to thank. The former WrestleMania headliner's return to the ring already has a built-in storyline.
Liv Morgan retained the Women's World Title at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
This past Saturday, Liv Morgan successfully defended her belt against IYO SKY in a match that lasted just shy of nine minutes. Post-match, Rhea Ripley made her presence felt, signaling the bout WWE has been building in a not-so-subtle manner. Then, on Monday Night RAW, Ripley vowed to end Morgan's reign. At this point, it is only a matter of making the title contest official.
Meanwhile, in the aforementioned podcast, Tommy Dreamer also articulated a scenario where Rhea Ripley loses to the Women's World Champion, The Eradicator could move to SmackDown to freshen things up.
