Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott were in action on Smackdown

As seen on this past week’s Smackdown, Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott just teamed up last Friday night for a loss to WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Natalya and Tamina Snuka. As seen in a post-SmackDown tweet and video below, WWE indicated that a change was coming for The Riott Squad. However, no one could have guessed that Riott’s release was coming just a few days later. As Megan Morant interviewed the team after the match, both the members expressed frustration over another loss.

Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan first started teaming together in late 2017 when they were aligned with Sarah Logan as The Riott Squad. They were split up during the Superstar Shake-Up in April 2019, but Morgan and Riott later reunited in early 2020. Since then, the two have been acting as a team in pursuit of the tag team titles. As noted above, Logan was released from the company in April 2020.

Sasha Banks made two tweets on Ruby Riott, sending love her way by calling her with the real name of Heidi Lovelace.

“[blue heart emoji] [glowing star emoji x 3] #HeidiLovelace,” she added, “We love you @RubyRiottWWE”

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley also reacted to Riott’s departure, writing, “For @RubyRiottWWE the best is yet to come. I firmly believe that.”
