Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan Segment 

Liv Morgan: Okay, okay. Now, I know some of you guys might not know what we just did, but what we just did is called a victory lap. We’re winners. None of you guys are winners. And that is because The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is going exactly as I planned. As if you guys needed more proof as to who runs Monday Night Raw, let’s look at the tape. I promised to take everything away from Rhea Ripley, and that’s exactly what I did. The Women’s World Championship, mine. The Judgment Day, mine. And the most gorgeous man in the whole entire world, Dominik Mysterio. And in two weeks’ time, The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour will continue on.

Rhea Ripley: Liv, honey, I’m going to need you to shut up, okay. And before you go running away, because you obviously can’t attack me from behind, I just want you to know that I’m not going to hit you, okay, so you can take it easy. You hear that, Liv?

Liv Morgan: Shut up.

Rhea Ripley: I actually have something that I need to tell you. Look who found his balls? What are you going to do, Dom? Exactly, nothing, so I get out of my face before I make you get out of my face.

Liv Morgan: Okay, relax. But you know what? Since we’re talking about Dominik, maybe he would have stayed with you if you cared about him half as much as you care about Damian Priest. But let me guess, what did Rhea want to come out here and say? Is it that, week after week, of me bashing your knee, you’re no longer able to compete at Bad Blood? Is that what it is? But you know what, Rhea, too bad, because I’m not going to let you get out of this match, because I’m going to beat you. And I’m not going to beat you because I’m bigger than you. I’m not going to beat you because I’m stronger than you. I’m going to beat you because I’m smarter than you. And I’ve had you beat up here, for months. So, please, Rhea, please tell us what’s so important that you had to come out here and interrupt Daddy Dom and I’s victory lap? Please, let us know.

Rhea Ripley: Oh, Liv, that’s actually not what I wanted to say. No, because when it comes to Bad Blood, I’m fully cleared. This message is actually for both of you. Since, Dom, you always want to stick your nose in all of the Women’s World Championship business. You know, you’re the only reason why that Liv won my championship in the first place. You’re the only reason why she’s retained this championship, every single match. Adam Pearce has decided something. Dom, at Bad Blood, you’re going to be exactly where you deserve to be, behind bars. Because in our championship, you’re going to be hanging in a shark cage. So, Liv, at Bad Blood, when there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no one to help you win, I’m going to win back the one thing that I never lost, my Women’s World Championship. Oh, and another thing, what I said before, I take it back.

Growing up, there was a saying I used to like to use, am I my brother’s keeper? Now, in the street, we knew better. Everybody just wanted what you had, ready to stab you in the back. But life, life can take you to some unexpected places. Life brought me to The Judgment Day. A crew that became a family. A family that gave me a brother to keep. Finn Balor. When you join me and Rhea, we talked about running the WWE, and that’s exactly what we did. We put everybody on this roster down, but you always wanted it to be about you. And then what happened? Rhea Ripley becomes World Champ. I shed a tear because I was proud of my sister. You, you sat in the corner with a face of envy that I became the World Champion. On camera, nobody was happier for me than you. But when the camera stopped rolling, you were the first person out the door with that same face of envy. I should’ve seen it coming, because I know better. You might think that my heart makes me weak. Am I my brother’s keeper? You’re damn right I am, and I always will be.
