Dominik Mysterio Turns on Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan Retains – At WWE SummerSlam 2024, Liv Morgan successfully defended her WWE Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley in a highly anticipated match that marked Ripley’s return to the ring since WrestleMania XL. Ripley, who had been sidelined with a shoulder injury, was accompanied to the ring by Dominik Mysterio, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the bout.
The match began with Ripley overpowering Morgan, showcasing her strength and dominance. However, Morgan managed to take control when Ripley appeared to aggravate her shoulder injury. Dominik Mysterio played a pivotal role in the match, intervening when Morgan attempted a dive to the outside by pushing Ripley out of harm’s way. In a dramatic moment, Ripley was seen popping her shoulder back into place, but Morgan continued to target the injury, working over Ripley’s arm with an arm-bar.
Ripley, showing her resilience, powered out of the arm-bar and slammed Morgan, but the champion wasn’t done. Morgan introduced a chair into the match, and Ripley once again had to shove her shoulder back into place. As Ripley prepared to hit Morgan with her Riptide finisher, Dominik Mysterio intervened, stopping her from using the chair and allowing Morgan to hit her Oblivion finisher for a near-fall.
In a surprising twist, Dominik distracted the referee at a critical moment, allowing Morgan to hit the Oblivion onto a chair, securing the victory. After the match, Dominik and Morgan celebrated together, with Dominik sealing the apparent betrayal of Ripley by kissing Morgan, revealing that the entire sequence of events had been part of a premeditated plan.
This shocking turn of events not only solidified Liv Morgan’s reign as Women’s Champion but also added a new dynamic to the relationship between Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley, leaving fans eager to see what happens next.
