As reported earlier, the match card for the debut Netflix episode of WWE Raw will be no less than a WWE premium live event. To make things even more stacked further announcements were made during the Netflix-Raw kickoff event, last night where the general manager of the show Adam Pearce announced that Liv Morgan will defend her Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley on that night.
The kickoff event held at WWE headquarters eventually confirmed the news that was almost broken on this past episode of WWE Raw in the opening segment in which Ripley confronted Morgan and let her know that she’s the new challenger for the women’s world title. This came after Ripley pinned Morgan during the WarGames Match to secure the win on behalf of her team.
Starting from May 2022, Ripley and Morgan have wrestled five singles matches against one another on WWE programming as their feud spanned across 2024 on WWE Raw. Ripley currently holds the record of being 3-2 in their head-to-head bouts. Their last battle at Bad Blood witnessed a DQ-end after Raquel Rodriguez interfered in the bout.
