At WWE Bad Blood 2024, Rhea Ripley challenged Women’s World Heavyweight Champion Liv Morgan in a high-stakes match. A major stipulation was added, as Dominik Mysterio, Morgan’s on-screen boyfriend who had interfered in previous title matches, would be locked in a shark cage during the match.
The bout began with Morgan and Ripley trading punches, each determined to win. As the match unfolded, Mysterio managed to pick the lock of his shark cage and open the door. However, he fell from the cage, with his leg caught on a chain.
With Dominik Mysterio hanging helplessly, Ripley seized the opportunity to attack him with kendo sticks. Amid the chaos, Raquel Rodriguez made a shocking return, attacking Ripley and causing a disqualification. Rodriguez, Liv Morgan’s former tag team partner, helped her retain the Women’s World Heavyweight Title.
Following Ripley’s failed attempt to win the championship, a massive update has emerged regarding the status of her contract with WWE after Bad Blood 2024.
