In a WWE storyline packed with betrayal, revenge, and heartbreaking drama, Liv Morgan has done the unthinkable—she’s taken everything from Rhea Ripley. Not just her title, not just her pride, but her identity, her faction, and the very foundation she stood on for years in WWE. What began as a simple rivalry has now become the most personal and devastating feud of 2025.
This is not just a story of two superstars clashing in the ring—this is a war of emotions, betrayal, and ultimate payback. Let’s break down how Liv Morgan literally dismantled everything Rhea Ripley built, piece by piece.
The Beginning: A Rivalry Reignited
It all began when Rhea Ripley was at the peak of her dominance. As the leader of The Judgment Day and reigning Women’s World Champion, she was untouchable. Liv Morgan, returning from injury, appeared to be just another challenger trying to find her footing. But what nobody saw coming was Liv’s transformation—from a playful underdog to a cold, calculating warrior hell-bent on revenge.
Liv didn’t just want to defeat Rhea—she wanted to destroy her.
Their feud began with sneak attacks and mind games. But week after week, Liv’s schemes became more aggressive and personal. The WWE Universe watched in disbelief as Liv slowly chipped away at Rhea’s empire.
Taking the Title: The First Strike
The first blow came at Backlash 2025, where Liv shocked the world by defeating Rhea Ripley in a no-disqualification match. With the help of a steel chair and a cunning fake injury distraction, Liv pinned Rhea clean in the center of the ring.
The title was gone.
The championship that Ripley had held for over 300 days, defending it against the likes of Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and Nia Jax, was now in Liv’s possession. But this was only the beginning.
Rhea was devastated, but she promised to bounce back. She didn’t yet realize that Liv’s plans went far beyond the title.
Breaking The Judgment Day
In the weeks that followed, Liv launched psychological warfare against Rhea Ripley. Her next target? The Judgment Day.
Liv began sowing seeds of doubt within the faction. She hinted at secret alliances. She planted fake messages. She even manipulated footage to make it look like Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio were planning to replace Rhea.
The tension in The Judgment Day grew.
Then came the night that changed everything—on Monday Night Raw, Dominik turned his back on Rhea in the most shocking betrayal of the year. In front of a stunned crowd, he hit Rhea with a chair and walked out of the ring… straight into Liv Morgan’s arms.
The WWE Universe gasped. The betrayal was complete.
Liv didn’t just steal the title. She had taken Rhea’s family.
Personal Attacks: “You Were Never the Real Star”
Liv didn’t stop at professional humiliation—she made it personal. She appeared in multiple promos mocking Rhea’s past, her look, her legacy, even her accent. Liv declared that she was the face of the women’s division now.
“You were never the star. You were just the shadow. The Judgment Day carried you, and now that they’re gone—you’re nothing.”
Liv even began using Rhea’s signature moves, like the Riptide, in her matches—renaming it the “Dark Ending” just to twist the knife further.
Fans online exploded. #LivMorganHeelTurn and #JusticeForRhea trended worldwide.
A Public Breakdown? Rhea’s Absence Sparks Concern
For two weeks, Rhea Ripley didn’t appear on WWE programming. Rumors swirled. Was she injured? Had she taken time off due to the emotional fallout? WWE commentators remained tight-lipped.
Then, a grainy video surfaced on social media—Rhea Ripley, backstage after a live event, sitting in silence, clutching an old photo of The Judgment Day.
Fans were heartbroken. Rhea, the woman known as “The Eradicator,” looked defeated.
But everyone knew—it was only a matter of time before the storm would rise again.
The Redemption Arc Begins: Rhea’s Silent Return
On the May 20 episode of Raw, the lights went out mid-match during Liv’s in-ring promo. A chilling message appeared on the screen: “You took everything. Now I’m taking you.”
The crowd erupted.
Rhea Ripley returned the following week—no music, no pyro, no Judgment Day—just her, walking slowly to the ring in all-black gear. Her eyes told the story. She was no longer the champion, no longer the leader, no longer the loved anti-hero. She was a woman with nothing left to lose.
She didn’t speak. She didn’t attack. She simply stared down Liv Morgan, who for the first time looked… uneasy.
Liv vs Rhea: The Final Showdown is Coming
WWE officials have confirmed that at Money in the Bank 2025, Rhea Ripley will face Liv Morgan in a “Last Woman Standing” match—a brutal stipulation fitting for a rivalry this personal.
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
If Rhea wins, she reclaims her pride, her dominance, and perhaps begins rebuilding what she lost.
If Liv wins, she cements herself as the new queen of chaos, forever etching her name in history as the woman who broke Rhea Ripley.
Conclusion: A Rivalry for the Ages
This isn’t just a championship feud. This is psychological warfare. It’s betrayal, it’s passion, it’s destruction and redemption.
Liv Morgan may have literally taken everything from Rhea Ripley—her title, her team, her identity—but the one thing she hasn’t taken yet is Rhea’s fighting spirit.
And that… might be her biggest mistake.
Because when Rhea Ripley comes for revenge, she doesn’t stop until it’s finished.
