Rhea Ripley has shared her thoughts on Liv Morgan’s surprising return during WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames and how it ultimately impacted John Cena’s chance at reclaiming the Intercontinental Championship. In a dramatic series of events, Dominik Mysterio defeated Cena, securing the championship amidst considerable interference from members of the Judgment Day, including Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh.
The moment that shocked many fans was Morgan’s unexpected involvement. Initially, she appeared to have turned on Dominik by slapping him before embracing Cena, creating a moment of hope for the legendary wrestler. However, this was merely a ruse. As Cena, caught off guard, lowered his defenses, Morgan executed a low blow, indicating her alliance with Mysterio was still intact.
This opened the door for Dominik to hit a 619, and Morgan did not stop there; she struck Cena with the championship belt, and Mysterio followed up with a Frog Splash, sealing Cena’s fate in the match. Ripley, who has a long-standing rivalry with Morgan, expressed her astonishment at the turn of events during an interview with SportsCenter. She described the conflicting emotions she experienced as she witnessed the shocking sequence unfold.
Ripley reflected, “It was wild. I don’t even know how to describe the emotions that I was feeling. I was kind of just watching it in awe and kind of like a fan. I was like, ‘Is this real? Is this actually happening? Like, what is happening?’” She added that when Morgan initially slapped Mysterio, she thought perhaps Morgan was turning against him due to his previous misdeeds but realized quickly that Morgan’s intentions were far more tactical.
The aftermath of this battle has reignited discussions around alliances and rivalries within WWE, showing that the landscape is ever-changing. With Morgan’s return, the dynamics in the ring have shifted, leaving fans eager to see what comes next in this riveting story.
