Liv Morgan’s plan is falling into place after Rhea Ripley made a shock return to WWE at the end of Monday Night Raw.
The current Women’s World Champion has been on her so-called Revenge Tour since April, which picked up steam when she injured the Judgment Day leader in a backstage attack and left her on the shelf for months.
This week, Rhea returned after sitting at home seeing her on-screen beau Dominik Mysterio grow closer to Liv, despite him repeatedly trying to shut the romance down.
On Monday night, things really heated up as Liv and Dom got caught in a compromising position backstage while she first offered to teach him a wrestling hold and then stretch him out before their main event tag match.
At the end of the show, the duo successfully teamed up to beat Zelina Vega and Dom’s legendary dad Rey Mysterio, and the champ was in great spirits after their big win.
However, her attempts at a steamy celebration were cut short when Rhea’s music hit and she made her triumphant return after three months out of action.

Liv made a swift exit out of the ring and to the backstage area as the former Women’s World Champion confronted Dom, who went for a hug but was swiftly rejected.
In footage shared after the show, Liv was seen peeking through a curtain watching the events unfold as Mami – who recently got married to real life partner Buddy Matthews – walked away from her former flame.
The champ turned back towards the camera with a smile on her face, suggesting her long term plan of taking everything from Rhea is finally falling into place.
Rhea is yet to directly respond to the drama, but she acknowledged her comeback as she simply tweeted: ‘MAMI’S BACK! 🃏’
Meanwhile, Dominik shared a gif from 2016 movie War Dogs with Myles Teller’s character saying: ‘I’m so f***ed.’
Liv has been retweeting plenty of reactions to what went down on Raw, although she’s not made her own post yet as the dust has started to settle on an eventful end to the show.
WWE is well and truly on the road to SummerSlam now, and if Rhea has indeed been cleared, her comeback match could be against Liv at the huge show in Cleveland, Ohio.
Her return is sure to send shockwaves through the Judgment Day too, as tensions have been fraught between Damian Priest and Finn Balor since she left, while Carlito has also been brought into the fold.
