Last night, Liv Morgan defended her Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley at the WWE Bad Blood premium live event. However, the match didn’t go as planned.
In the final minutes of the match, Raquel Rodriguez made her return after eight months of hiatus from WWE television. Rodriguez attacked Ripley outside the ring, which was noticed by the referee. She put Ripley on top of Morgan for the pinfall, but the bell had already rung.
Fightful Select reported that Liv Morgan was supposed to win the match. However, the referee had to ring the bell because he saw everything.
“It was implied that the original finish to Rhea vs. Liv was Liv winning with Raquel’s help. However, the referee couldn’t justify not doing a DQ finish as he saw everything unfold.”
