WWE just presented the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event, and one thing is for sure: Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley have unfinished business. Morgan managed to retain her gold over another tough challenger but was then confronted by Ripley after the match. The challenger is now headed into RAW with strong optimism, but the champion just shut her down with one word.
The Eradicator and World Wrestling Entertainment’s current Women’s World Champion fought over Dominik Mysterio for months and have battled for championship gold even longer. After Liv defeated IYO SKY in just over nine minutes at SNME XXXVII, her post-match celebration with Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio was interrupted by Ripley. The face-off ended with Ripley venting while Morgan raised the title.
Ripley took to Instagram today with a bit of motivation and optimism for the WWE Universe. She ended the post by teasing a potential title win in the near future.
“Determination creates champions… and jealousy from sheep. Soon. [crown emoji],” Rhea Ripley wrote with the photo below.

Morgan later responded and matched Ripley’s positivity with her own negativity. The Judgment Day member needed just one word to get her point across.
“Nah,” Liv Morgan wrote.

Officials have not confirmed the next Ripley vs. Morgan match, but it’s rumored for the RAW Netflix premiere on January 6. After retaining the Women’s World Championship over Rhea at SummerSlam in August, Liv retained at Bad Blood in early August as Ripley won by DQ, while Mysterio was in a shark cage.
