A former WWE manager recently discussed a major segment featuring Rhea Ripley and a 30-year-old champion. Jim Cornette praised Mami, while also giving his props to Liv Morgan's work during their love triangle storyline involving Dominik Mysterio.
The trio kicked off last Monday's episode of WWE RAW, with Ripley surprising Morgan and Mysterio about her knee injury. Mami also announced that "Dirty" Dom will be inside a Shark Cage dangling above the ring during the Women's World Championship match at WWE Bad Blood.
On the latest episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the 63-year-old wrestling veteran praised the segment and overall fan reaction to the storyline. He also praised Ripley calling her one of the biggest stars in WWE regardless of gender. He even acknowledged Dom still having a lot of heat and Liv doing her best character work.
"Rhea Ripley is not the biggest female star in the business. She's one of the biggest stars in the business period. And Dominik still has kept his heat and they're mad at Liv 'cause she's the shrewish little mean girl that is messing with Rhea," Cornette said. [From 03:43 to 04:04]

Rhea Ripley reveals one of Dominik Mysterio's fears
As announced on WWE RAW, Dominik Mysterio will be inside a Shark Cage above the ring when Liv Morgan defends her Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley at WWE Bad Blood.
Speaking to Cathy Kelly after Monday's show, Ripley revealed one of "Dirty" Dom's biggest fears.
"Dom is terrified of a lot of things. Heights is definitely one of them. So I'm gonna give that a ten. But he's also very, very claustrophobic. Which to me is f*cking hilarious," Ripley said. [H/T: Wrestling Headlines]
While Dominik won't be a factor in the title match, The Judgment Day could still interfere and help Morgan retain her championship. However, Ripley is expected to be backed by Damian Priest, who is set to face Finn Balor at Bad Blood.
