Liv Morgan vs Rhea Ripley
Liv Morgan tries to flee at the start of the match, but Rhea Ripley is focused on following her, and also taking advantage to show her that Dominik Mysterio is still hers. The challenger’s blows are accurate, so much so that it seems that Morgan is going to fall with a “Riptide” against the corner; fortunately for her, the move was not executed in the best way, and she manages to react before they try to repeat the move.
The champion causes Rhea to go face first into the corner, then drops her heavily onto her shoulder. The Australian is in too much pain in her right shoulder, so the referee asks her if she wants the match to be stopped. Of course, Rhea doesn’t want to stop the match, but she’s in trouble with an injured arm at WWE SummerSlam 2024 . Morgan notices this and attacks Ripley against the steel steps, right in front of where Dominik Mysterio is standing.
Liv Morgan can’t capitalize on the advantage, Rhea Ripley gets fed up with being at a disadvantage and hits the commentary table to adjust her injured shoulder, even though that won’t take away the pain 100 percent. Back in the ring, Morgan surprises Ripley with a “DDT”, but her cover doesn’t make any progress. Rhea responds by catching her opponent with a “Texas Cloverleaf”; Liv manages to spin on her axis to send the challenger into the corner, although she ends up somewhat hurt.
