WWE Monday Night RAW featured a shocking conclusion to the show. Following a big win over Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan, and Dominik Mysterio were seemingly about to k**s in the middle of the ring until a familiar theme song echoed throughout the arena.
Rhea Ripley had returned! The Eradicator's theme blared, and she came out with intent. Morgan scurried away and ran to the backstage area. Meanwhile, Dominik attempted to embrace Rhea, but he was blown off.
This was Ripley's first appearance since being forced to vacate her prized Women's World Championship. Rhea suffered an injury during a backstage angle and was forced to relinquish her title. Needless to say, fans were overjoyed to see The Nightmare back on television.
Notably, Rhea was rocking a shirt seemingly mocking the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour, instead teasing a Brutality Tour. While it isn't yet clear what her goals are with this tour, there are some intriguing options. This article will take a look at a handful of things she could check off her Brutality Tour now that Rhea is back.
Below are four things Rhea Ripley could check off her Brutality Tour following her WWE RAW return:
#4. She could fight Liv Morgan at SummerSlam 2024
The relationship between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley has taken several turns in the past few years. The pair were once tag team partners who chased the WWE Women's Tag Team Title.
Unfortunately, they failed to win the gold, and Rhea later turned heel on Liv to join The Judgment Day. They proceeded to have trouble over the next two years, with Ripley injuring Morgan last year and the latter doing the same to Mami a few months ago on Monday Night RAW.
Now that the Australian star has returned, a showdown between the bitter rivals at The Biggest Party of The Summer seems like a foregone conclusion.
#3. Rhea could reclaim the WWE Women's World Championship
Before she was forced to relinquish her prized WWE Women's World Title, Rhea Ripley held the belt for over a year. The Eradicator defeated the likes of Charlotte Flair, Zelina Vega, Raquel Rodriguez, and Becky Lynch to establish herself as a dominant champion. However, her fairytale run was cut short by Liv Morgan, who staged a vicious attack on The Judgment Day member this past April.
Now that The Nightmare is back in action, her first priority would be to regain the Women's World Championship. While getting her hands on Liv Morgan would probably be exciting too, her focus may be less on Morgan and more on Liv's title that she never lost.
#2. She might dump Dominik Mysterio
The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour had a few major stops. First and foremost, she injured Rhea Ripley. This caused Ripley to give up the WWE Women's World Championship. Morgan later claimed the Women's World Title by defeating Becky Lynch at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event.
However, Morgan didn't stop there, as she set her sights on Mami's Latino Heat, Dominik Mysterio. The WWE Superstar planted a ki*s on Dom Dom's lips for accidentally helping her win and retain the title. Since then, Morgan has constantly flirted with her ''Daddy Dom,'' and while the latter tried his best to resist, he nearly locked lips with Liv on last night's episode of RAW. However, the duo was interrupted by a returning Rhea Ripley, who was understandably unhappy with her Latino Heat.
Given that she was already showing signs of frustration with Dom Dom, Rhea may decide to dump Mysterio as part of her Brutality Tour. This would allow her to focus on her career moving forward.
#1. Rhea Ripley could aim to injure Liv Morgan
As has become clear throughout this list, Liv Morgan injuring Rhea Ripley has led to the current saga. She took out The Eradicator this past April and likely fueled Rhea's WWE return through her actions in recent months.
While fighting and defeating Liv would be nice and winning the Women's World Championship could be a major factor, Rhea may have a more sinister plan. The Judgment Day member may want to injure Liv Morgan as payback.
Rhea has hurt Liv before, so it wouldn't be a stretch to say she could do it again. Ripley's goal could be to injure Liv, not just for her antics with Dominik but for everything she has done in the past three months, and put The Miracle Kid on the shelf either temporarily or permanently.
