Former WWE manager expecting huge swerve in SummerSlam title match (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell feels the Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan matchup could end with a major twist. Both women are set to collide for the Women's World Championship.

The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour reached a high as she injured Rhea Ripley and won the Women's World Championship. She vowed to take everything away from Mami. This led her to seduce Dominik Mysterio and start an awkward romantic angle.

This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, Mantell claimed he was excited to see Liv Morgan in action against Rhea Ripley. The veteran manager claimed the angle was one of the hottest storylines heading into SummerSlam. He felt there would be a huge twist in the matchup.

"Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. I think we're gonna get a big swerve there. I just love that angle. I just love it." [3:38 onwards]

A couple of weeks ago on WWE RAW, Rhea vowed to win the Women's World Champion and bring an end to Morgan's Revenge Tour. She also mentioned that she would end the star's career at SummerSlam.
