At SummerSlam, there was a surprising twist as Dominik Mysterio, a WWE wrestler, gained attention by betraying his former partner, Rhea Ripley, from Judgment Day. The moment that stunned fans wasn’t just about switching sides, but it also signaled the arrival of a new formidable duo on “WWE Raw” when Mysterio teamed up with Liv Morgan. The WWE Universe was abuzz, speculating on the reasons behind this dramatic shift, and Mysterio did not hold back when he opened up about his decision and the dynamics of his relationships with both women.
Liv Morgan is ‘100% Superior’ to Rhea Ripley
During a candid interview on “Cheap Heat,” Dominik Mysterio laid it all on the line, answering the burning question of whether Liv Morgan, the current Women’s World Champion, is superior to Rhea Ripley. His response was clear and unwavering, “100%, I just think the fact that there’s equal respect,” Mysterio began, his voice tinged with a mix of resolve and relief. He went on to highlight the mutual understanding and acceptance that defines his relationship with Morgan, a stark contrast to what he experienced with Ripley.
Mysterio painted a vivid picture of his life with Morgan, emphasizing how she embraces every aspect of who he is. “She fully embraces me as I am, whether it be my love for chicken tenders, playing video games, sporting a mustache, or rocking a mullet,” he described, expressing a feeling of freedom and appreciation.

Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley
The contrast between Mysterio’s relationship with Morgan and his tumultuous past with Ripley became even more apparent as he addressed the fans who believed that Ripley treated him well. “People can say like ‘Oh she treated you well, she like did all this stuff for you’ but like how did she start her relationship with me right?” Mysterio questioned, his tone shifting to one of frustration and disbelief. He recalled the harsh reality of how their partnership began, with Ripley exerting her dominance in a way that left no room for true respect or equality.
“She choked me out, she beat me up and dragged me on her shoulder,” Mysterio recounted, his words painting a stark picture of the power dynamics at play. The relationship, he revealed, had started in a place of aggression and control, which eventually led to its unraveling. “The relationship blossomed out of nowhere, I was like okay this could work out, but then certain things happened here and there,” he continued, hinting at the cracks that began to show as their relationship progressed.
Rhea Ripley Pushed Too Far
One of the key moments that Mysterio pointed to as a turning point was when he lost his NXT North American Title for the first time. Instead of offering support, Ripley’s reaction was anything but comforting. “What’d she do instead of being a supportive ‘Mami’? She got in my face and said you better come home with that title or don’t come home at all,” Mysterio recalled, his voice betraying a lingering hurt. This moment, he suggested, was emblematic of the underlying issues that plagued their relationship – a lack of genuine care and respect.
Support and Respect
In stark contrast, Mysterio spoke of how Liv Morgan had supported him in one of his lowest moments, despite not even being in a relationship with him at the time. He referenced his loss to his father, Rey Mysterio, a moment that could have shattered him. Yet, Morgan stood by his side, offering the kind of unwavering support that he had never experienced with Ripley. “She supported me despite not even being together yet,” Mysterio said, his voice filled with appreciation for Morgan’s kindness and loyalty.
Dominik Mysterio’s Era
As Mysterio spoke in the WWE Universe, it was evident that his connection with Liv Morgan marks a fresh stage characterized by respect, empathy, and sincere concern. The connection they share is completely different from the power and authority that defined his relationship with Rhea Ripley. Within the WWE universe, where team-ups and backstabbings are common, Mysterio teaming up with Morgan and opening up about his past has brought a new level of drama and depth to the ongoing story.
WWE fans still have more drama to look forward to. As Mysterio and Morgan continue to rise as a power couple on “WWE Raw,” all eyes will be on them, watching to see how this new dynamic will play out in the ring and beyond.
