Rhea Ripley recently shared her thoughts on Liv Morgan’s comeback during WWE Survivor Series 2025. The event featured the final match of John Cena’s storied career, where he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Dominik Mysterio. Judgment Day members all interfered to protect Dominik, but a key moment was Morgan’s unexpected return. After hurting his shoulder five months earlier, Morgan appeared to betray Mysterio by attacking him when the referee was down, seemingly siding with Cena. However, she swiftly turned on Cena with a low blow, helping Dominik reclaim the title.
On ESPN SportsCenter, Ripley described the moment she realized Cena’s defeat was inevitable, highlighting Morgan and Dominik’s cunning strategy and unpredictability. She admitted to being a fan in awe of the twist and acknowledged that Cena likely didn’t anticipate the betrayal.
Ripley and Morgan share a complex history as both friends and foes, with their rivalry intensifying after Dominik left Ripley to team up with Morgan at SummerSlam 2024. Alongside her “ex-boyfriend,” Ripley also celebrated a significant win at Survivor Series, where she, AJ Lee, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and IYO SKY triumphed over Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax, Rush Legend, and Becky Lynch in the War Games match.
Fan Take: This dramatic return and twist perfectly showcase WWE’s ability to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Liv Morgan’s shocking betrayal not only honors Cena’s career finale with high drama but also sets up new rivalries that could shape WWE’s future storylines.
