Rhea Ripley has opened up on her off-screen relationship with Liv Morgan.
Former tag-team partners, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, have maintained a heated rivalry against each other since Ripley turned heel and joined The Judgment Day a few years ago. While the tables soon turned and Ripley became a baby face and Morgan a heel, their animosity continued.
Not feuding against each other on-screen anymore, ‘Mami’ recently opened up about her off-screen relationship with Morgan. Speaking with Allenownz Wrasslin, Ripley opened up on her love for the former women’s tag-team champion,
“So, Liv is someone that I love deeply. Our feud that we’ve had in WWE has gone on for so long now, and I feel like every time we come back to it, we don’t get to touch on everything that’s actually happened throughout our careers together,” she said. “This goes back to NXT; she gave me her NXT locker when she left to join the main roster. We’ve always had some sort of connection.
So to be able to go through and have this continuously long story that sort of gets threaded together, but then forgot about but then threaded together, it’s really cool to see it all come together in the end.
“Especially knowing how many problems there were with it, and how many ups and downs, with the injuries, with her getting injured the first time, that kind of threw everything for a loop, and it it screwed up the story, which then ended up with me and Raquel for a little while, while she got better.
Then I went on to do other things, But when she came back, she targeted me, but then I got injured, and it’s just like a repetitive, vicious cycle of things fucking up, and us getting our shit together, and, like, making it into the best that we could, which was really cool to see.”
She further said,
“She’s like, my story nemesis; my wrestling nemesis, my everything nemesis, but like, at the same time, like my wrestling love. It’s a really weird combination of emotions and story that we have together,” she said. “Being able to go out there with her and put on the matches that we did put on does mean a lot to me.
She’s someone that I’ve made such a strong bond with here in the WWE and being able to have fun out there with my friend and then bring Dominik into it, and then bring Raquel back into it, this is why I do what I do, because I get to do it with people that I love and appreciate, and they love and appreciate me.
“We get to make magic and get fans connected to it and entertained by it, and hell, if they hate me for real, for beating up Liv, then I’m doing my job, right? So I’m having fun.”

A few weeks ago, while speaking on his Kliq This podcast,WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash responded to a fan’s wish to see Rhea Ripley and Tessa Blanchard in a best-of-three “Iron Woman” series.
If Tessa Blanchard was somebody that should be in an Iron Man or Iron Woman Match against Rhea Ripley, don’t you think she’d at least be on the NXT roster?
I doubt somebody from the double A squad is the person you want to go best of… best of three with.”
