Rhea Ripley was left dejected at the stage of SummerSlam 2024. Mami has lost her boy for once and all in an utterly unpredictable course of events. Just weeks back on TV, the Eradicator made her much-awaited return from injury. Although she chastised Mysterio for engaging in flirty antics with Liv Morgan in her absence, next week, fans felt delighted to see a picture-perfect reunion between the mischievous kayfabe couple. But WWE had some other plans in store.
On the SummerSlam night, Dominik Mysterio abruptly helped Morgan retain the world title. Moreover, he shared a deep passionate kiss to officially announce his reciprocation of Morgan’s love in front of the world. But what’s the crux behind it? What led Mysterio to dump someone who had supported him in his life? As per the fans’ lens, Ripley’s ‘I am the man’ attitude is to take the blame.
The Eradicator possesses an aura about herself that alerts everyone not to mess with her at any point. The seasoned villain female of the division has been a force to be reckoned with since she rose to the rank of the Women’s Champion at WrestleMania 39. However apart from the remarkable performances, a chunk of Ripley’s lay was in her electric chemistry with fellow Judgment Day member Dominik Mysterio.

The duo has achieved so many things with each other’s aid. Since DomDom joined forces with the nefarious faction after betraying his dad, Ripley has backed him in every misdeed he wanted to commit against his family. However, after Morgan’s abrupt entry to the scene, WWE found an excuse to break off the romance between Ripley and Mysterio.
On that line, a fan thinks Ripley’s over-the-top demeanor invited the breakup.

Did Dominik Mysterio make the right call betraying Rhea Ripley for Liv Morgan at SummerSlam?

A unique fan theory explained the reason behind Dominik Mysterio’s loathed betrayal
In the earlier storylines, Mysterio kept his sanity intact by not being lured by the extreme fervor of Morgan. The Queen of Extreme did everything ( giving her hotel key to Mysterio, sending him nudes, kissing him on TV, and more) to force Mysterio to switch sides. Finally, she succeeded in her endeavor. While the booking left a lot of fans dejected, one fan thinks of the development as nothing but an outright logical jump. They suggested that Mysterio became bored of Mami’s controlling demeanor and wanted to dictate affairs on his own terms. Morgan’s unbridled love and passion appealed to him naturally.
I can kind of see why Dominik Mysterio picked Liv Morgan over Rhea Ripley. Liv showed more affection and interest than Rhea ever did. Still though, I just wonder if Rey Mysterio was in Dom’s life, he’d be a good dad and tell him to stay away from Liv.

Although previously it seemed that she was aiming to topple Mami and Mysterio was nothing but a stepping stone. However, lately, the desperation in her eyes and her actions speak loudly of how much she wants him. It will be a riveting experience to see the new romance unfold going forward and this time with a mutual wish. What do you make of the fan theory outlining the reason behind the breakup?
