Rhea Ripley Relishing In "Forever Runner Up" Liv Morgan's Setback On 4/22 WWE Raw
Rhea Ripley may no longer be the WWE Women's World Champion, but 'Mami' is relishing in the fact that Liv Morgan doesn't hold the gold either.
The Australian Superstar vacated the gold last week after being injured during a backstage assault by Morgan. On this week's Raw, Becky Lynch won the vacated gold, marking The Man's ninth championship win in WWE.
Lynch's victory on Raw saw her last eliminate Morgan, who alongside The Man was considered a favorite ahead of the battle royal. Taking to Twitter, Ripley was delighted to see her former friend-turned-rival once again come up short. Ripley added that Lynch was an "interim champ," suggesting that she plans to swiftly regain the gold once she is healed up.
Ripley may have had plenty to say after this week's Raw but the same can't be said when it comes to Morgan herself. When a WWE camera operator attempted to catch Morgan after the match, Liv was livid as seen in the clip below.
While Lynch was a favorite going into the battle royal, many feel that Liv Morgan should have left Raw as the new Women's World Champion. Morgan has been embroiled in a feud with Ripley for some time, and it was an attack by 'Mami' that forced Liv to miss months of action. On Twitter, WWE/TNA Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his belief that WWE made the wrong call.
Whether it should have been Liv Morgan or not, Becky Lynch is now once again on top of WWE Raw's women's division. With this being her first singles title reign of a main roster title in two years, Lynch is hoping for a nice, long run, though is quickly finding herself a long list of challengers.
