The Rhea Ripley-Dominik Mysterio-Liv Morgan love triangle has taken WWE by storm. By far the hottest storyline today alongside The Bloodline, there's a lot of anticipation for the Women's World Title match at SummerSlam. An Anoa'i family member admitted that the story had caught his attention.
On the WWE SummerSlam Pre-Show and Preview, host Joe Lowry interviewed Afa Anoa'i Jr. fka Manu in WWE. Manu was once a part of the Legacy faction - where Cody Rhodes got his biggest spotlight in his early career. Afa Jr. is also Roman Reigns' first cousin.
It isn't a far-reach to assume that Afa Jr. is invested in The Bloodline story. However, he couldn't help but admit his admiration for the Rhea Ripley-Liv Morgan feud, calling it "gold":
"This is one of the storylines that actually grabbed my attention outside of The Bloodline stuff. So, I think it's gold. They hit gold with this one. Just the way they've been running the storylines. Now that Mami is back, that whole dynamic is cool to see." (10:03-10:26)
Afa also stated his opinion - revealing that he wants Rhea Ripley to reclaim the Women's World Championship that she previously vacated. He praised Ripley and said that she was entering Charlotte Flair territory:
"There are certain people that demand it and Rhea is kind of one of them. She's kind of climbing that ladder into that Charlotte [Flair] placing. I think she could win it back." (10:35-11:02

Could we see the betrayal of the decade so far with Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan?
One of the biggest theories going around about SummerSlam is that Dominik Mysterio could potentially betray Rhea Ripley to ensure that Liv Morgan retains the Women's World Championship.
This, however, is only one theory. A few situations in the storyline have suggested that Finn Balor of The Judgment Day could be in cahoots with Liv Morgan. Not only did he steal her hotel room key that Dominik Mysterio was given, but he was also the beneficiary of her interference when he became World Tag Team Champion alongside JD McDonagh.
Whatever happens, WWE seems to be doing something right and fans are all in on the story. Expect the match to get some of the biggest reactions of the night at SummerSlam.
