In a saga that’s more convoluted than a soap opera with too many commercial breaks, WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan’s relentless pursuit of “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio reached a spectacularly awkward climax on Monday night’s “WWE Raw.” With a drama level rivaling reality TV and a plot twist to make Shakespeare jealous, Mysterio was hauled to the ring by Rhea Ripley, like a naughty child dragged to the principal’s office, to settle the simmering tension.
From a strategically safe distance in the crowd (where she wouldn’t get any WWE-branded sweat on her designer outfit), Morgan demanded those three little words from Mysterio. But instead of a lovestruck confession, she got a gut-punch reply: “I hate you!” Yes, folks, the drama was thicker than Vince McMahon’s mustache.
Mysterio didn’t just stop there; he unleashed a bilingual tirade that would make a telenovela star proud, accusing Morgan of turning his life into a circus act. The pièce de résistance of this spectacle was Ripley’s stamp of approval: a face lick and a big smooch that left more slobber on Mysterio than a St. Bernard in heat. The duo then strutted backstage, leaving Morgan to slink off camera, her championship ambitions as wobbly as a Jenga tower in an earthquake.
As we march towards SummerSlam, the question of where Mysterio’s true loyalties lie is juicier than a prime rib at catering. Despite his harsh words, he’s looked suspiciously content throughout this whole melodrama. With Morgan hell-bent on dethroning Ripley, and Judgment Day’s other members juggling their own championship ambitions, we’re looking at a potential implosion more epic than the last season of Game of Thrones.
Stay tuned, folks, because this train wreck is only picking up speed!
