The WWE storyline sometimes turns so vivid that it blurs the line between kayfabe and reality. While it’s pretty considerable to keep the fun essence of the sport alive, sometimes taking a look at the backstage matters is what we need to give it a break. For the last few months, WWE Universe has become accustomed to the constant skirmish of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan.
While Mami had been on a long hiatus after the Queen of the Extreme sailed off her revenge tour, delivering her an injury on the shoulder, WWE left no stone unturned to cook the rivalry. Morgan targeted Mami’s only boy, Dominik Mysterio, to deprive her emotionally as well. Morgan finally has her mission successful as SummerSlam brought a huge Dominik Mysterio-Rhea Ripley breakup to the table.
The dynamic reached such a boiling point as it seemed that the two powerhouses of the female division would tear each other down utterly if they were given a chance. But is the reality that bitter? A viral picture of the two ferocious rivals broke the bubble.

Old photo of Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley resurfaced amidst the hostility
After being opponents for a while, Morgan and Rhea Ripley turned the baby-face pair back in March 2022. Billed as Liv 4 Brutality, the fun-loving duo quickly rose to the rank of wide popularity not only because of the quality matches they produced but also for the infectious energy they oozed out during the show and their off-screen bonding best reflected in the backstage interviews.
Eventually, WWE set them apart after WrestleMania 38 as Rhea Ripley became allergic to the constant loss and finally separated the path on a devastating Raw after WrestleMania. But the essence of their vibe together still lingers all over the internet. A fan posted a throwback photo of the two possibly living their moment of ecstasy after a win.

However, despite all the feel-good trips for the Liv 4 Brutality, everything that happened afterward was quite at odds.
Ripley messed up with Liv Morgan the first
Even before the vengeful Liv Morgan chimed into Ripley’s life to make it hell, she got her reasons right. Throughout last year, the former tag team group found incredible success in their individually carved-out path. Rhea Ripley has become the terror of the WWE Women’s division, dismantling anyone and everyone coming her way to the top.
On the other hand, Morgan picked up the Women’s Tag Team Champions with Raquel Rodriguez. Shortly afterward, the duo again crossed paths, and certainly, not in a good way. They had some backstage heated discussion that led to the fixation of an official segment on Raw next week.
Rhea Ripley brutalized her former mate with a chair, causing the star a grave hurt in her shoulder. That was it for Morgan. The lady has gone and came after months with a fire in her eyes. The rest is the unfaded history.
