The rivalry between WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley on Raw isn't just about the title. This rivalry began last year when Liv Morgan was the Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Raquel Rodriguez.
Behind the Scenes of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan's Intense SummerSlam Match
Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez won the Women's Tag Team Titles at WWE Money in the Bank 2023 by defeating Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. This marked Morgan and Rodriguez's second reign as champions. However, their title reign took a dramatic turn when then-Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley interfered.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships to Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green on the July 17 episode of Raw due to a backstage attack by Rhea Ripley. Enraged, Morgan challenged Ripley to a match the following week. However, before the match could begin, Ripley caught Morgan with a brutal steel chair attack to the shoulder, putting her out of action for six months.
It's been a year since Rhea Ripley brutally attacked Liv Morgan, an incident that sidelined her for six months. The tables have now turned, with Liv Morgan now the WWE Women's World Champion, while Rhea Ripley holds no title. Ripley has recently opened up about her feelings about whether or not she regrets her attack on Morgan, as well as her shoulder injury.
