Liv Morgan vows revenge after Rhea Ripley’s brutal WWE SmackDown assault

Liv Morgan promises retribution after Rhea Ripley's SmackDown attack, while rumors swirl about Charlotte Flair potentially replacing Ripley at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley

Liv Morgan and her Survivor Series teammates fired back following a vicious assault from Rhea Ripley on SmackDown. The attack occurred after a match between Naomi and Bayley against Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae, which ended in disqualification due to Nia Jax’s interference.

The situation escalated into a full-scale brawl involving Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and IYO SKY. As Morgan’s team appeared to gain the upper hand, Ripley emerged with a kendo stick, unleashing a brutal attack that forced her opponents to retreat.

In a backstage video shared on WWE’s Instagram, team members had different reactions to the assault. While Stratton remained confident, stating “I don’t care. We’re still winning,” Morgan and Rodriguez expressed their anger. “You’re gonna pay for that! You’re gonna pay!” Morgan shouted, with Rodriguez adding, “I never forget a scar!”

Charlotte Flair’s potential return could shake up WarGames match

Speculation has emerged about a possible replacement for Rhea Ripley at Survivor Series: WarGames following recent events. Despite Ripley’s return to RAW as the final member of the babyface team alongside Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Naomi, and IYO SKY, her participation isn’t guaranteed.

Given the history of attacks from Morgan and Rodriguez, including their assault on Ripley during the October 29 episode, another ambush could potentially sideline the Women’s World Champion. This scenario could open the door for 17-time champion Charlotte Flair to make her return.

Flair recently posted a video on social media, fueling speculation about a possible appearance at the premium live event. However, these plans remain unconfirmed as WWE heads into the final episodes of RAW and SmackDown before Survivor Series.
