Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, two WWE wrestlers, have had a tumultuous on-screen relationship. Starting as iconic WWE partners and becoming sworn enemies, fighting at every turn, they have one of the biggest feuds in current WWE.
In March of 2022, Liv and Rhea began their run as babyface tag team partners, known as Liv 4 Brutality. At Wrestlemania 38, Liv 4 Brutality competed for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. However, the team unfortunately lost to Sasha Banks and Naomi. This would be the beginning of the end of their partnership. Liv took the pin, leaving a frustrated Rhea to walk away from Liv in a rage after the fight.
On April 18, 2022, Ripley attacked her partner with a Riptide in the ring. Ripley claimed that she attacked Morgan because she had, “finally opened her eyes.” This attack led to a one-on-one match between the pair on May 9, 2022 that was won by Rhea. Soon after, a mixed tag team match with Liv and AJ Styles vs. Ripley and Damian Priest occurred. Ripley and Priest won the battle with some assistance from the Edge.
Morgan managed to win against Ripley for the first time a few weeks later. Liv’s good fortune, however, would not last for much longer, as she lost the tag team fight between Judgement Day and Liv against AJ Styles and Finn Balor. Their next match was at the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble, where Ripley left with the win.
On July 17, 2023, there was a backstage brawl between Ripley, Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan lost the tag team championship match due to the injuries she sustained during the brawl and later got revenge against Ripley as she was ringside for her boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio’s, match. They were set to have a one-on-one match the following week, but Morgan could not participate due to a shoulder industry she sustained when Ripley beat her with a chair.
Morgan then began her Revenge Tour at the 2024 Royal Rumble. Ripley was injured due to their backstage brawl and Ripley had to vacate the gold. Morgan then won the Women’s World Championship with the assistance of Dominik Mysterio. Morgan grew affectionate towards Mysterio after this and he was continually wooed week by week by Morgan. This continued until Ripley returned to WWE. While she was originally angry with Mysterio, he managed to earn back her trust.
SummerSlam 2024 was the nail in the coffin for Mysterio and Ripley. Mysterio abandoned Ripley to pursue a relationship with Morgan. He helped Morgan win SummerSlam and followed the win with a kiss for everyone to see.
Ripley and Damian Priest, known as the Terror Twins, teamed up against Judgement Day and won a mixed tag team match at the Bash in Berlin PLE against Mysterio and Morgan. The feud continued into Bad Blood 2024, where Mysterio was hung from a shark cage. Morgan escaped as the champion with the help of Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan attacked Ripley to cover up a real orbital bone injury that took Liv out until she returned at the Survivor Series WarGames with Ripley, Bianca Belair, IYO SKY, Naomi and Jade Cargill.
The feud is still continuing to this day. Ripley beat Liv for the Women’s World Championship on Monday Night RAW on January 6, 2025. After Ripley’s win, Mysterio got into the ring to approach Ripley for a hug. She responded by kicking him. The latest update was this Monday, January 13, where there was obvious tension between Mysterio and Morgan, with many speculating that Mysterio is just after the title.
Though the feud between Ripley and Morgan has been one of the biggest and most popular feuds in 2024, many fans are ready for the feud to end, and many hope that the pair will reconnect and rejoin forces.
