WWE Hall of Famer predicts Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan's rivalry will not end at SummerSlam
Wrestling legend Teddy Long believes the feud between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley will continue after SummerSlam this weekend.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Teddy Long praised the storyline so far. The former WWE authority figure added that he does not think Morgan will lose the title at SummerSlam and that the company likely wants to extend the storyline.
"Why take it right there? Lot of mileage there, you know. Lot you can get out of there, you know. I agree with Bill [Apter], I don't think she's gonna drop it [the Women's World Title] either but that goes on down the line. You keep that program running, and as long as the people are behind it and it's drawing money and selling tickets, why mess it up?" Long said. [7:23 onwards]
